Nobody is yet calling John McCain a “flip-flopper”. But the Republican nominee’s increasingly finely balanced efforts to shore up his support among the shrinking Republican base while reaching out to independents is starting to fire up the critics.

On Tuesday morning, he launched an advertisement reminding voters of his repeated clashes with President George W. Bush over climate change, which Mr McCain believes is real and requires urgent action.

Mr McCain’s shift on offshore drilling – which contrasts with his strong support for upholding the moratorium in his 2000 bid for the Republican nomination – could further chip away at his reputation for being a “straight talker”.

flip flopping is only a problem if you are a Dem. Republicans are above all that stuff the little people suffer from.

Like being unpatirotic?

[uscitizen]

Yep all republicans are automatically patriotic no matter what they say or do.
Just part of being a republican.

The media sure has a funny way of showing how liberal it is!

[uscitizen]

Sore loserman

Flip flopper

These are the things that work for what is left of the republican base.

This is why they had to cheat to win elections for the last few decades.

[uscitizen]

Those kinds of tricks sell to fools desh. And obviously we have far too many of those.

[Jarod]

And we wonder wwhy America is in decline?

[uscitizen]

WE are the reason. Not necessarially you or I but we as a whole.

Unfortunately, I caught two minutes of Sean Hannity last night.


He said McCain wasn't flip flopping.

He was just changing his mind based on new information.


LOL

Ohh, I see, thats what its called when Republicans do it... Changing there minds.

[Socrtease]

He was against off shore drilling before he was for it. What will get you people to vote for Johnny Mac. During the 2000 election he said that if he daughter was thinking about getting an abortion it would be her choice. 2008 for Rightwing goosestepping consumption, Roe v. Wade should be overturned. He makes Kerry look like a man rooted in his beliefs.

[Jarod]

He is merely changing his mind based on new information. (Polling data)

[uscitizen]

Does McCain have enough mind left to change ?
