McCain: flip-flopper-no; incoherent-yes
Posted by: Andoni
The term flip-flopping doesn’t do justice to Mr. McCain’s self-contradictory economic pronouncements because that implies there’s some rational, if hypocritical, logic at work. What he serves up instead is plain old incoherence, as if he were compulsively consulting one of those old Magic 8 Balls. In a single 24-hour period in April, Mr. McCain went from saying there’s been “great economic progress” during the Bush presidency to saying “Americans are not better off than they were eight years ago.” He reversed his initial condemnation of mortgage bailouts in just two weeks.
Just as Chris pointed out McCain's slipperiness on gay adoption, Frank Rich of the New York Times nails McCain this morning on his total incoherence on most other issues. This is a must read for anyone considering voting for McCain.

Concurrent with the dominance of corporate-controlled info-tainment comes the immunity of GOP candidates from serious critique.
Trust me - I have a close relative inside CNN - and while it is still possibly the most objective major news source - their Time-Warner corporate policy treads a strict line of avoiding serious meaningful controversy when it comes to presidential politics. Thus they wallpaper Obama's non-flipflop on Irag and turn a blind eye to McCains spectacular half-gainers off the high board.
Unfortunately Frank Rich is probing in the dark when it comes to readership.

Is Kevin getting 100 percent of the proceeds from that giant John McCain tower ad in the left sidebar? Because he should be.
