Hey, they're all politicians. I get that. I hate them all. But my view on McCain has shifted, and it's his own damned fault.

Don't choke up now, rabbit boy!
Better cough up some carrots and explain this one!You know, before he changed his positions on a wide variety of issues for reasons of expediency.

Oh, did the McCain platform change to support abortion right in cases of rape and incest? Favoring stem cell research? Normalizing relations with Cuba? Immigration amnesty? Has he really stopped associating with evil lobbyists, or are they still running his entire freaking campaign?
I won't even go into the flops over Bush policies. There are limits to post length on Poly.
But hey, maybe I missed his incredible consistency. If so, my sincerest apologies.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Did you get that? McCain said you shouldn't announce it when you attack another country! He hopes he can declare war in secrecy to anyone, and that they'd only notice if it's too lateOriginally posted by Asher

'Associating with lobbyists' is not a flip flop. His policy is campaign finance reform and no earmarks, not that he won't "associate with lobbyists." Perhaps you should call your mother, I'm not done with you yet.
He's still strongly pro-life, so that's hardly a major platform change. This cycle he let the delegates decide that specific issue of the platform since he's old and not in touch with what is best for young, commonly laid chicks.
He favors criminalizing specific kinds of stem cell research, such as somatic cell nuclear transfer, but I've never heard him say all stem cell research is evil. I know what somatic cell nuclear transfer is, and you don't.
Immigration reform? Bite your tongue -- McCain stood up to republicans and it nearly cost him the primaries. (http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/po...on_reform.html)
Normalizing relations with Cuba? WTF? I'm starting to think you need a girlfriend. Does Cuba still have a government?
In conclusion, you are the limestone to my quarry. If I had a Venn Diagram saying STUPID in one circle and SMART in the other circle, your dot would be exclusively in the STUPID circle and I would be in the SMART circle and nothing would be in the middle.Comment

Pro-choice -> pro-life.Originally posted by Wiglaf
McCain's been remarkably consistent .
Pro-Roe-v-Wade -> Anti Roe-v-Wade
Authoried Immigation Bill -> Secure the borders first
Anti-Bush-Tax cuts -> extend Bush tax cuts
Anti-offshore drilling -> drill baby drill.
Will follow bin Ladin to the Gates of Hell --> Will not launch cross-border raids into Pakistan.
Put country first --> names Palin as VP to shore up right-wing base.
....just to name a few.Comment
