McCain  70 flip flops and counting

"[b]It's obvious that the McCain campaign and the RNC have decided to go after Barack Obama as a flip-flopper. What's equally obvious, though, that Republicans couldn't have chosen a worse narrative.

McCain & Co. seemed to stumble on this line of attack almost by accident. They'd experimented with a variety of memes in recent months, none of which had any real salience. The right settled on "flip-flopper," in large part because it's the closest available, already-written Republican narrative, and in part because McCain staffers haven't been able to think of anything else.

The irony, of course, is that the McCain campaign couldn't have picked a more hypocritical line of attack. Below you'll find a comprehensive list of reversals from the Republican nominee, numbered and organized by category for easier reference.

Remember, McCain recently said, "This election is about trust and trusting people's word." Just a few days prior, the McCain campaign admonished Obama for trying to "have it both ways" on issues.

I should note that there's nothing offensive about a political figure changing his or her mind once in a while. Policy makers come to one conclusion, they gain more information, and then they reach a different conclusion. That is, to be sure, a good thing — it reflects a politician with an open mind and a healthy intellectual curiosity. Better to have a leader who changes his or her mind based on new information than one who stubbornly sticks to outmoded policy positions, regardless of facts or circumstances.

So why do McCain's flip-flops matter? Because all available evidence suggests his reversals aren't sincere, they're cynically calculated for political gain. This isn't indicative of an open mind; it's actually indicative of a character flaw. And given the premise of McCain's presidential campaign, it's an area in desperate need of scrutiny.

The perception people have of McCain is outdated, reflective of a man who no longer has any use for his previous persona. What's wrong with a politician who changes his or her views? Nothing in particular, but when a politician changes his views so much that he has an entirely different worldview, is it unreasonable to wonder whether it's entirely sincere? Especially when there's no other apparent explanation for six dozen significant reversals?

McCain has been in Congress for more than a quarter-century; he's bound to shift now and then on various controversies. But therein lies the point — McCain was consistent on most of these issues, right up until he started running for president, at which point he conveniently abandoned literally dozens of positions he used to hold. The problem isn't just the incessant flip-flops — though that's part of it — it's more about the shameless pandering and hollow convictions behind the incessant flip-flops.[/b] That the media still perceives McCain as some kind of "straight talker" who refuses to sway with the political winds makes this all the more glaring.

HIT THE LINK TO SEE OVER74 MCINSANE FLIP FLOPS....attacking smears on Obama seem to be racially motivated because they are lies! High tech lynchings....

If and when you learn of a reversal that has not yet made the list, I hope you'll let me know."

The risk of insanity and perhaps even computer-cooties is too high.

Come on brother, fight.  Fight the power!  

Your freedom of speech (or. . . uh. . . freedom to promote the speech of others who most of us could care less about) is being attacked.

We rally around your battle cry:

Wow, the republican party is so out of ideas that it can't even think of new lines to attack its opponents.  Pretty sad.

Propaganda either way...... and no Gaspar, you have no point.  Your pic of Al Franken was the most unflattering one you could find..... EVERY SINGLE PIC YOU'VE EVER POSTED OF HILLARY CLINTON ON THIS SITE HAS BEEN THE MOST UNFLATTERING PIC YOU COULD EVER FIND.

And if you think those children wearing "God hates fags" tshirts were photoshopped, well... says alot about you, don't ya think?  []

My point is:  there are wackos on the left and right.... and so that there's no misunderstanding Gaspar, what exactly was the point you were trying to make?

My apologies,  I had no idea there were flattering pictures of Al Franken.  I will no longer post images of Hillary, as that I am a poor judge of when she is looking hot.

My point was about how every post that our friend "Amigo do diabo" makes is simply a cut & paste from some "other" website, or a link, devoid of any form o critical analysis.

The moderator made him edit his post above because it was simply a series of cut & pastes.  It has since been changed by him.

My apologies if the images I posted got you upset, they were simply a visual representation of the posts that "Venn av djevelen" provides.  

. . . and I was joking, I'm sure there is a flattering photo of Al Franken somewhere, because he's good enough, and smart enough, and doggone-it people like him.

Hey Conan, at least we know how the Dems feel about our flag:

Don't be so hard on them. They can't get ahold of a good U.S. Constitution to destroy, so they just hide U.S. flags, now that it's illegal for them to burn them. []

Like the current administration hasn't crapped on the constitution.

Whatever happened to the phrase in the oath about 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States'?

Guess Bush/Cheney forgot about that part, huh?
