Ideological changes you can believe in

Since Obama has no character, there is nothing for a spine to support. The technical term is atrophy, disintegration from non-use.

"A society that puts equality . . . ahead of freedom will end up with neither." ~ Milton Friedman.

How is that a change? Obama has always been for including fatih-based initiatives with government program funding.  On the other ones you are pretty much right, though.

And why not have McCain in the waiting room after stating that the President should obey FISA and get warrants for wiretapping Americans in America, then says that the President was right to wiretap Americans in America without warrants? (same issue as telecom immunity in the cartoon)

Or McCain who pledged to use public financing for the primary season -- going so far as to be accepted in the program and secure loans based on that acceptance -- and then opted out of the system without FEC approval? (same issue as public financing above, except that McCain may have brokent the law by not getting approval)

Or McCain who was going to balance the budget by 2013 in February, then in May was gonna do it by 2017, and is now back on 2017?

Or McCain who says that setting a timetable for ending the Iraq and Afghan Wars is letting the terrorists win, but tells us the savings from ending those wars will go toward balancing the budget by -- 2013?

Or McCain who vocally denounced the new GI Bill that passed over a veto threat, then went on the stump bragging about the fact that vets were going to get better benefits? <p>

Or McCain who supported an estate tax on those worth more than $5 million, and now says he will repeal all federal estate taxes?

Or McCain who called the right wing religious zealots "agents of intollerance" and now praises them as he courts their votes? <p>

Or McCain opposing spending any federal dollars on the Everglades, then miraculously announcing he supported doing "whatever it takes" to save the swamps while campaigning in Florida?

Or McCain who fights against lobbyists, then has a dozen of them running his campaign?

Or McCain who co-sponsored the McCain-Feingold bill that strengthened limits on political contributions yet his campaign is using "Governor's PACs" to raise unlimited funds?

Or McCain who supported Roe vs. Wade but now opposes it when he needs the religious right's vote?

Or McCain who opposed and voted against the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and now wants to extend them?

Or McCain who opposed bailing out homeowners facing foreclosure and then supported bailing out homeowners facing foreclosure?<p>

Or McCain who said he needs to be educated on economic issues, then said he never said it even though there's video?

Both candidates "flip-flop".   All candidates change positions.  But, like the rest of the media, Tornoe goes for the easy GOP talking points and pretends McCain is a "straight talker" and any Democrat is spineless.

I said over a year ago that this guy was a nothing; and if he was white, the media wouldn't even bother with him.  ( Go Geraldine).  He is a nothing with an articulate mouth, period.
