Fighting Over Flip-Flops

Once again, the Globe covers McCain's ass by making all things seeming equal.

They've already endorsed the guy through their news coverage.

"Obama, McCain trade jabs on flip-flopping; Words heat up over who's soft on the issues" by Globe Staff And Associated Press | June 21, 2008

In the escalating war over who is the bigger flip-flopper, Senator John McCain's campaign used his speech yesterday in Canada to accuse Senator Barack Obama of double talk on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Obama's campaign, in turn, jumped on a private meeting that McCain had with Hispanic leaders to call him two-faced on comprehensive immigration reform.

McCain assured more than 150 Latino leaders in Chicago on Thursday night that if elected president, he would push through Congress legislation to overhaul federal immigration laws, several of those in attendance said.

Yeah, I've always wondered how McCain was selected, er, I mean, elected taking that position in the Republican party.

Obama communications director Robert Gibbs noted that during the GOP primaries, McCain said he would no longer vote for the comprehensive reform bill he championed in Congress last year that included a path to citizenship. Under withering attacks from primary foes who accused him of favoring amnesty for illegal immigrants, McCain said he would not pursue the reform bill until the borders were secure.

Somehow the MSM always misses that car on the "Straight Talk Express" -- just as they have forgotten the Keating Five S&L scandal that the great special-interest reformer of which McCain was a part!

"He's one John McCain in front of white Republicans. And he's a different John McCain in front of Hispanics," said one of those at the meeting, Rosanna Pulido, who heads the Illinois Minuteman Project, which advocates for restrictive immigration laws.

He's a CHAMELEON!

Gibbs took up that theme, telling reporters that McCain is having a "tortured debate" with himself on that issue, as well as on offshore oil drilling. McCain switched positions this week to support lifting the federal ban on offshore exploration....

About McCain and torture, see: McCain Would Torture Himself

In his speech to the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto yesterday, McCain vowed that if he becomes president, "have no doubt that America will honor its international commitments - and we will expect the same of others."

That kind of rhetoric rings so hollow in the face of Iraq and torture!

That also include ISRAEL, dick shit?!

"Since NAFTA was concluded, it has contributed to strong job growth and flourishing trade. Since the agreement was signed, the United States has added 25 million jobs and Canada more than 4 million," McCain said...."

So McCain loves NAFTA?

How the hell did he "win" the nomination anyway, readers?

WTF?!
