Who is McCain?

He has flip flopped on almost all the issues.

He definitely isn't the 2000 McCain but now he is the flip flopper McCain in 2008.

McCain wants to privatize social security which is what the vast majority of Americans do NOT want.

He said that all options needed to be looked at before a decision could be made. What is wrong with that statement? Because that is exactly what Barack Hussein Obama has to do as well. So you and the MSM stop berating Senator McCain.
Why don't you tell me what you would do? What is your solution - And just how would you put it in place and make it work?
I'll wager you cannot answer this because you don't know how.

I understand McCain flip-flopped on estate taxes, too.

I don't know how many more flip-flops that straight-talk express can take without voiding the bus's warranty.

McCain is a real man.
Obama is a puppet of the far left.

That's all one needs to know!

tomdavie - he also never said he wanted to scrap social security, and he never said he wanted to bomb Pakistan.

Arguing with Republicans and their supporters would be more fun if those guys knew what they were talking about.

Oh, and the Pakistan thing has actually been done since the time Obama recommended it... by the Bush administration. We ran three separate strikes in northern Pakistan, and in one of them have a "high confidence" of hitting our target.

McCain, like Clinton, called Obama naive for suggesting this, though a flip later was saying he would follow bin Laden "to the gates of Hell." Well, bin Laden isn't in Hell. He's in Pakistan. McCain basically echoed Obama's idea, which he previously had characterized as naive.

I wonder if McCain can even track all these flip-flops.

By the way, the distinction here (though I'm sure McCain supporters won't care) is that Obama doesn't "want" to bomb Pakistan. If actionable intelligence pointed to bin Laden's location, he wants Pakistan to arrest bin Laden.

Its only if Pakistan was unable or unwilling to do so that Obama suggested we not let bin Laden slip away... again.

Why won't Obama agree to town hall debates? ANSWER: Because he's a bumbling idiot who doesn't know what he believes until his puppet masters have put it in front of him on the TelePrompter.

What an empty suit!

tomdavie: The US has already sent a few missiles into the NW Frontier of Pakistan. It is not an area for troops or tanks to go into. Even the Pakistan military dread it. Look at some pictures of the terrain. Treacherous and that is why Bin Laden and/or his henchmen are camping out there. There are now so many rumored tapes going around concerning Obama that they would fill a media library. Even Rush Limbaugh will not touch that Sinclair Lewis garbage because it is such an amateur job and there is not much he will avoid. But, did McCain really misspeak and say that he would veto beer?!

I would like mc-more-war to answer one question. Why did it take him so long to denounce the hagee endorsement? There are a lot of Catholic voters that will remember this in November. Obama 2008 will be GREAT!!!

The thing that's funny about Soetoro's posts are that by trying to convince us all that Obama is a puppet, we're reminded of how puppets look and move... which naturally makes one think of McCain.

I realize that's a cheap shot. McCain lost a lot of arm movement when his arms were broken and then presumably never set correctly the entire time he was a POW. But still... McCain supporters, I suggest you not stick to the puppet attack.

pt - I know. I'm Catholic. I try to not get involved in those kinds of stories - the guilt by association crap. But I couldn't help noticing that McCain only rejected Hagee after a different comment was unearthed on tape. The implication was that McCain was okay with the whore comment about the Catholic Church.

Someone should remind the McCain folks that Catholics are 22 percent of the population, and I believe vote more reliably than average - meaning we do represent something like a quarter of the electorate.

Paul,
I agree with your point of guilt by association is crap. But, mc-more-war knew what he said and still would not denounce it because he knew a lot of people look to hagee for advice. I used to have respect for mccain but since the 2000 election he's become a pandering wimp. Obama 2008!!!

In other words McCain is a hypocrite, woop-de-DAMN-do!

sotorolamo or whatever your name is

he has agreed to town hall meetings they are working it out... stop spreading your lies

and mccain flip flops more then a fish out of water

please this guys running on experience? lol to quote him

"hes hte change candidate:

I think Obama said it very well today.

When talking about taxes and comparing McCain to George Bush, that isn't fair --- to Bush.

What does McCain stand for? Its hard to follow his changing position without a scorecard. One position he hasn't changed, though, is his intent to give billions in tax breaks to the big oil companies, the ones premiering the new price hike horrors at your friendly neighborhood gas station.

Defeat McCain in '08.

Lets abolish ssi. I did the right thing and saved my money. And the money I paid in is my money and I want that back.
SSI is and will never be a retirement System It is a safety net. So you better start saving or you will never retire.

@Dakota: Of course, you are right, that it is a safety net and people should just save on their own. However, the problem is what happens when they don't? The rest of us will have to bail out the ones who didn't save and that may be more expensive the Social Security (which is in essence a pooled, mandatory saving). The alternative, homeless and poor elderly, is not an acceptable option.

Poor McCain- one year he's for something, the next year, when it suits him, he's against it. Unfortunately, he's done this with many, many policy ideas and positions. Such is the nature of an indecisive and insecure politician, always reshaping himself to the whims of the electorate. Shameful. At least Obama's positions, be they right or wrong, are amazingly consistent. His vision of America, again be it right or wrong, is one that favors the poor and the middle class at the expense of the wealthy. If this ideology suits your personal financial situation, then vote for Obama. If you are part of the few of us in the super -wealthy group, or a mega corporation like the oil companies, then you might want to vote for McCain. Of course, you never know what you're ultimately going to get with McCain, because he might change his mind, or as he is want to do so often, take direction from the lobbyists that have propped him up in office. He is and always has been a puppet of the lobbyists, even through the current election cycle. He needs their money and support, as no one else wants to help him.

As they said in the signature line in the movie Minority Report- "Can you see?"

So let me get this straight. McCain's campaign says that the reason it doesn't matter that McCain changed his position is that previously, he wasn't running for President, but now he is? So when was he telling the truth, then or now?

Whereas Obama, in the face of a Social Security financial crisis, consistently proposes a "tough" plan that raises some taxes on the highest earners but STILL exempts those earning over about $100k from being taxed on all their income, unlike the rest of us, who pay taxes on every dollar we earn? Meantime, Social Security is about to go broke for the common folks who need it most (remember the "lock box"?).

But I guess if you marry an heiress, like McCain did, you don't really have to worry about Social Security being there for you.
