Quote:
well that or he has a terrible memory and bad judgement, your call.
You realize, of course, that this discription applies to Old Man McCain as well.
As for Flip-Flopping, here's some of McCains:
* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intoleranceâ€, then actively went for his endorsement when he ran for President again.
* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but later changed his mind.
* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt & spending “dirty money†to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. This time around, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.
* McCain supported a major Campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. Then he ran for President & abandoned his own legislation.
* McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.
* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture and then changed his mind.
* McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a few years ago.
* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.
* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.
* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.
* He’s also been both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.
