New and improved: John McCain 2.7 (upgrade for JM2.6)
The current version of John McCain, which we can call John McCain 2.7, is remarkable. He is a conservative warrior! He is the very model of a family values man! Of course, he is nothing like John McCain 2.6, the version which was offered to the American people 5-7 months ago. And that John McCain is totally different from his long record in the Senate, John McCain 1.0.
Let’s compare the “features” of John McCain 1.0 vs 2.7:
1.0: Oppose Bush tax cuts, votes against. 2.7: Will make Bush tax cuts permanent.
1.0: Considers religious nuts “agents of intolerance.” 2.7: Kisses religious nuts
1.0: Opposes torture of all sorts. 2.7: Votes to support Bush veto supporting torture.
1.0: Supports troops. 2.7: Votes against improved GI Bill.
1.0: Insulted Chelsea Clinton. 2.7: Respects Hillary.
1.0: Against offshore drilling. 2.7: For offshore drilling.
1.0: Did not oppose gay marriage. 2.7: Opposes gay marriage.
2.6: Took Federal matching funds. 2.7: Illegally spending private money.
1.0: Opposed illegal federal wiretaps. 2.7: Supports unconstitutional FISA bill.
Is John McCain 2.7 even the same person as John McCain 1.0? This is not flip-flopping, this is on the level of Olympic snowboarding, where they do triple back-flips.
Of course, 1.0 and 2.7 do share some features. Version 1.0 helped contributors steal billions of dollars in public lands, and 2.7 doesn’t disagree. They both take money from corrupt financiers like Charles Keating. John McCain 2.7 is still as corrupt as John McCain 1.0.

ps amazed, why won’t McCain give more details about his plan? The assumptions are reasonable given what McCain has already announced.
