As Dana Carvey's Bush Sr. said

"If you wanrt to get elected, you gotta be on the right for your base, but for the public you gotta do that middle dance"...

So, if you haven't heard,

McCain faults administration on Iraq

Gee, that McCain, he's such a maverick, criticizing the president like that...


So here's the question, McCain, why didn't you say something back in 2004?!?!?

Hmm... let's fire up the wayback machine to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City...

[an excerpt from McCain's Speech]

"I believe as strongly today as ever, the mission was necessary, achievable and noble.

For his determination to undertake it and for his unflagging resolve to see it through to a just end, President Bush deserves not only our support, but our admiration."

So much for the "straight talk"...

Face it, McCain is no maverick, and this action is no where near "straight talk". McCain is a GOP shill looking to twist his words into the Whitehouse in 2008. And to do so, he's distancing himself from an unpopular president that he endorsed for reelection in 2004, criticizing an unpopular war that he once supported, and kowtowing to the religious right that can make or break his support in the Republican party, just look at his "evolving" view on intelligent design...

...careful John, don't pull away too far from their agenda, they may drop their support. Read his transcript statements in the interview on NPR with Tom Ashbrook. I listened to this show last year, and McCain was basically spouting that ID should be taught in school under the guise of "all points of view". It was as if he was towing the party line but didn't believe a lick of it... SHILL!


straight talk... more like
bullshit.
