And he's being straight up telling us the truth both then & now... things that even oil man Republican T Bone Pickens is telling us... Drilling is not the answer. Oil is a dwindling commodity that a smart person would want to as quickly as possible start steering away from.
It's the WACKO Lunatic Right that would rather lie to the country to scam a few votes than tell the truth. I can't wait until the power shift and the Republicans can't block progress anymore.
And you'll get no traction on anything "Flip Floppy"! John McCain is the Flip Flopper for all times. Pick a subject from immagration to torture... from economics to campain finance and he's a 180 degree guy.
No one... NO one in politics... No one in America... No one in the world... has or will ever be more of a Flip Flopper than John Sidney McCain III. You just can't get more Flippy than everything!!!
This is his new campaign ad...

The ad starts with the GI Bill, which both McCain and Bush supported, until the Democrats added so much pork that both of them opposed it.
Why, you ask, did the Democrats add so much pork to the GI bill that its former supporters became opponents? I'm glad you asked.
It was so that they could say that Republicans are opposed to the GI Bill.
Does that mean, then that the Democrats play dirty politics, while Republicans are above such rotten tactics?
Well, yes, and no. The Democrats do play dirty politics, but, so do the Republicans.
It's a favorite tactic of both parties to amend a bill to the point that it has no chance of passing, just to say that the other party opposes soldiers in harm's way, little children, warm puppies, or whatever else sparks a positive emotion among voters.
And there you have it. The truth at last.
I'm not sure about the other talking points in the ad, but I'd be willing to bet that there is a lot more to them than the commercial shows.
