The Flip-Flop McCain

Watching John McCain on "Meet the Press" this morning was kind of sad. This guy has nothing to do with old John McCain who stood up to political interests and was a real straight-talker. The current McCain is an average politician who is trying desperately to win votes.

When Tim Russert confronted him with the Jerry Falwell issue, he essentially lost his voice. Of course, he could not explain how he can be now "friendly" with that certified lunatic who has made unbelievably discriminating and bizzare statements in the past. And to only think that McCain in the past had called Robertson and Falwell agents of intolerance. And now he tries to find ways to reverse this impression.

Interestingly, McCain also said that he did voted to support the Bush tax cuts that strongly opposed before, because the had already passed and were in effect. What??? It was almost like saying "I voted for the tax cuts, after I voted against them". Unfortunately, the old McCain has disappeared. The new McCain is not any better than Bush. The real tragedy is that McCain has become worse of a flip-flopper than Kerry was in 2004.
