JOHN MCCAIN: WILL HE REALLY DO ANYTHING TO WIN?
McCain the Maverick?
Ever since John McCain began running for President he has undergone a dizzying transformation from Republican Maverick to Republican Panderer-in-Chief.
He’s changed positions on immigration, taxes, gay marriage, and the right to choose. How long can McCain keep his independent image when he’s cashed in his principles in exchange for political support?
McCain Puts All the Chips on Iraq:
While McCain previously was a critic of the Bush approach in Iraq, he has now been co-opted. He recently claimed that there were neighborhoods in Baghdad where you could "take a walk today," but appeared in the Baghdad market with a massive security detail. At one point he called for 80,000 more Army personnel and 20,000 to 30,000 more Marines to secure Iraq, but the so-called "surge" that he has adopted as his own, has placed barely 10,000 more troops in the country.
And McCain has been virtually silent about the Administration’s position on torture that he worked hard to oppose a few months ago.
