... Look, senator, this is a link. You click it to take you somewhere else on the Web. Here's an example: When we click this link we see this page of - oh, I'm sorry, this appears to be a big list of your most significant flip-flops, major issues you've reversed yourself on over weeks, months, years. Goodness, there sure are a lot of them.

Well, let's scroll around a bit - scrolling is how you move up and down a large page. As we move down here ... oh look, here's information about your famed McCain-Feingold bill on campaign finance reform. Except, oh dear, it appears you're no longer connected to the most high-profile legislation of your career. Heck, now that you're running for prez and need all the cash you can muster, who wants finance reform? I understand. What a maverick you are. Well, let's move on.

Here you are decrying the ugly forces of the religious right, and then later kissing Falwell's fat, nauseating ring. And here's you trashing Bush's useless tax cuts for the wealthy, then completely flopping over and supporting them. And whoops, gay marriage might be OK, then it's definitely not. Torture is absolutely wrong, then it's not. You say you're rather clueless about the economy and will need some lessons in basic finance, then here's you denying outright that you ever said that. Isn't technology amazing, senator?

Wow, there sure is a lot of information about your inconsistency on just about every issue. Immigration, energy, health care, offshore drilling, Roe vs. Wade, and, oh my goodness, the Iraq war? You really are all over the place. One thing's for certain, though: Your position on war and violence and America as ruthless pre-emptive aggressor, well, let's just say you can sometimes make Dick Cheney look like a peacenik. Scary ...

3. Only someone with the elite financial backing of a Bush can even hope to pull off clueless as cute.

Of course they fail too, but they think with all their money and power that they won't.
