The Double Talk Express

Here is the short list of John McCain's discrepancies and apparent flip flipping since he's taken interest in the presidency. Cynics may be thinking, "This is what all politicians do" or "All politicians lie, where's the story in that?". While that may be true by most accounts, THIS politician definitely does it. Here's what he said and here is the proof.

John McCain pushed for the War in Iraq telling the world how easy it would be, then was surprised when people thought the war would be easy.

He said the confederate flag was a symbol of racism and slavery. Three days later he say it was symbol of heritage.

He called Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson the "Agents of Intolerance" and declared the principal that neither party should pander to the outskirts of American politics. He then spoke at the Fundamentalist's College and said Jerry Falwell was not an Agent of Intolerance.

He said Gay marriage should be allowed. Then said it shouldn't be legal.

He said overturning Roe v Wade would be dangerous for women and he wouldn't support it. Now he wants a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion except in cases of rape, incest and threat to the life of the mother.

He consistently opposed George's Bush's tax cuts for the rich saying "I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief." Then recently changed his mind saying "American businesses and investors need a stable and predictable tax policy to continue contributing to the growth of the economy."

He wants to end the war, but says he would like us to stay in Iraq for a hundred years siting Japan and South Korea as strategic models, as long as American's aren't being killed. Ironically, it was our presence in their holy land that started the killing of Americans in the first place.

He participated in a bi-partisan bill with amnesty on it's label, then denied he was ever for amnesty.

He has always spoken out against the use of torture as a means of interrogation, "insisting that practices like sleep deprivation and withholding medical attention are not only brutal - they simply don't work to persuade terrorist suspects to give accurate information". He then called for President Bush to veto the Senate's anti-torture bill, instead talked in support of "additional techniques" for interrogation.
