Even If McCain Is Never President... He'll Still Be King-- King Of The Flip Flop

McCain seems more and more frail and confused by the day. Reporters who have gotten close to him say he's like the walking dead. Voting for McCain is like voting for Sarah Palin to be president (of the United States... of America). That may be enough for millions of thoughtful voters-- regardless of party-- to decide to vote for Obama. But McCain's floundering and flailing on the transcendent issues of the day, even without his naked, arrogant display of bad judgment and contempt for America with the Palin pick, should be as big a disqualifier. Does anyone really know what we're getting if we pick McCain-- other than a pig, lipstick or not, in a poke? Where does he stand on deregulation? Where does he stand on immigration reform? Where does he stand on campaign finance reform? Where does he stand on the undue, unethical influence of lobbyists on government? Where does he stand on anything? McCain stands for one thing and one thing only-- and on this he has always been consistent: the accrual of personal political power. John McCain is not someone Americans can trust-- on anything.

1. McCain is not flip-flopping per se
Its really just constant absurd doublespeak. I can be flipping through channels and see his ad decrying the growth of Washington and the scary liberals trying to take over the economy, change the channel and see him at a rally talking about how we need more regulation and govern, and then see a clip from that Republican Convention they held oh so long ago where he was railing against government interference. Its not that McCain has done a 180 on anything, he is just saying whatever he thinks his particular audience wants to hear.
