McCain Forecloses Early
I don’t see how anybody could deny that John McCain is a straight-talker. The country is terrified of economic collapse and he’s been sounding like Mr. Potter, the banker in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” You can’t get more forthright than that....

That felt like an overestimation. Not that McCain hasn’t scored some points on the days that he wasn’t getting Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq mixed up. Witness the speed and dexterity with which he’s been distancing himself from the White House. The only withdrawal McCain supports began when he said he was eager to have Bush campaign for him whenever “it fits into his busy schedule,” making it clear that the busyness of said schedule was going to be beyond comprehension.

Then McCain gave a foreign policy speech in which he broke dramatically with the administration by acknowledging that we should probably quit invading other countries in the face of enormous opposition from our allies....

McCain the straight talker, what the CorporaFascist would have us believe.

In can cite at least a half dozen flip flops off the top of my head, but I'm sure you know them all.

Sure he's a straight shooter, it just depends on whether he's aiming in one direction, or the opposite
as it suits his purposes of the moment.

You can quote me on this:
A loose cannon always shoots straight; it all depends where it's pointing at the moment.
