Oh, please. Now? McCain is returning to his core principles, according
to rethugs like Lindsay Graham, Orrin Hatch, et al ad nauseum? So what's this about?

This list of 76 McCain flip-flops died when Steve Benen left this site a couple of weeks ago, but really... who believes there aren't about 20 or more that could be added?

7. Someone(s), apparently. Why do I have to hear him all the time, and
why is he allowed to be a McSame fan? Why has he been a senator for so many years? Come to think of it, why is he a lawyer in the military yet never served anywhere but the good ole, safe USA ? Hmmmm. Things to think about.

6. His "core principles" were always "socially adept psychopath" principles.
"Maverick" was just a psychopathic Top Gun gimmick label.

10. I've got to believe that almost no one can deal with principles
that change with the passing of the clock.

Irrational candidates, irrational party, irrational policies, based on an irrational mentality.

That's not change, that's not being a "maverick" that's just plain old crazy. This is what they washed Dean out on and I'll tell ya A) That was parsed stupid wholly dishonest bullshit and B) McCain and Palin are genuine kooks. Nothing but venomous nonsense, shenanigans, bold lies that are constantly and unapologetically repeated, and zany gimmicks.

12. Good synopsis there, TheKentuckian, imo. But how many people
won't even recognize their kookiness? Hopefully enough.

"Irrational" is the word.

13. Why did it take him so long to do so?
If this is the case, then wouldn't this mean that all that talk we were hearing about him being a maverick before now was a load of crap?

14. There is so much wrong with this, it's not even funny. This
guy has been a sell-out from the get-go. WE know that. I do think that's being exposed, or should be.
