McCain flip-flopping
« on: August 20, 2008, 08:08:45 PM »
Well, I always seem to read about how 'oh, Obama flipped flopped on this, and on that', but never about how McCain flip-flops.  So, I'm going to post the issues on which McCain has flip-flopped recently.  These are off the top of my head, mostly:

Iraq
Reinstating the draft
Social security
Healthcare
Tax cuts
Torture
Ethanol

Yes, its a short list compared to Obama. They all pander to votes.

Here is a good summary of Obama flip flops. Compare and report. YMMV.

obamas not a flip flopper..becuase hes for everything and against everything. depending whos hes talking to. he can be asked one question and give 2 different answers, all in one breath. hes' an absolute fence sitter. even when he was in illinois he wouldn't vote on a topic. all he would do is say "present". he has no spine no convictions no expirience. hes a puppet of george sorros. nothing else. when obama talks he has no quick answers. because he belives in nothing. he has to think.."what do they want to hear?". unlike john mc cain who knows wheres hes been and where he going and what he believes. ask mc cain a question you get a quick answer. you believe in obama..your not doing your homework.

All politicians move toward the center before an election, and all more or less to the same degree.

LMAO

And you really think people on THIS board are going to recognize Mccain flaws.

C'mon man. the guy was a POW 40 years ago.
But more importantly he's a Republican running against a Democrat.

So long as he is a Republican running against a Democrat
they would vote for   Slobodan Milosevic with a Charles Manson running mate
And find a way (probably with soundbites from the GOP website which is where most of the soundbites I see originate from) to paint Mother Teresa into an evil wicked lying witch. If she were the Democrat nominee.

They arent for the person. Wouldnt matter who were running from which party
They are for the party.

Goo TEAM!  :rolleyes:

I love my flip-flops.  Almost as much as my right-wing, aldultering, bastard spaniel does.  But hey, he's free. 

Relax, and go play the game.

Flip Flopping.

Aint that the mature thing to do? when you realize your wrong on a topic? or when you get proved that your oppinion on stuff are wrong? Or when new angles or evidence surfaces?

Is it so bad to flip flop? is it a character flaw or a strenght to be able to flip flop?

Are you all 13 years old?

Don't see any problem with someone changing his mind. The world around us changes all the time,  Re thinking your position on things is never a bad idea.  I am more worried about people with thoughts that don't evolve...

McCain is not my main man. I like Ron Paul and Mitt Romney much better. McCain has flipped flopped I agree. Still though do you want Socialism? That would be socialism for you not the elitist. Do you think Oprah Winfrey is going to wait in line to get medical care?! I look at the guy in the mirror to fix my money problems not congress. I need them out of the way. Not more in my life.

There was some stats given recently (I don't have them) but more woman die of breast cancer in Canada and Britain than they do in the U.S. because of socialized medicine.

When exactly did it become admirable for a person to doggedly stick to a position that was proven wrong? I'd rather have a President with the balls to change his mind than an idiot who doesn't have one to change.
