McCain argues that flip-flops are an example of a political leader who can't be trusted -- so he might as well drop out of the race.
Someone's keeping track. No, it's not Fox News or Rush. Currently 61 flip-flops and still counting. That doesn't include multiple flips on the same subject. I had to find out after a vigorous discussion in a thread below. Now you'll know too.
Now, how about them 'crocs?

Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for posting this. I've been watching in disbelief as the corporate, right-wing media machine totally buys into the narrative of Obama as the flip-flopper, refusing to acknowledge that their so-called "maverick" candidate, John McCain, has done a complete turn-about, fully embracing right-wing talking points and policies that he used to speak boldy against. It must be true that the McCain campaign is being advised by Karl Rove, since this is straight from the Rovian playbook--to take your candidate's own biggest shortcoming and to try to attribute it to your opponent.
I guess I'm not surprised by McCain coming out and opposing his own legislation, like campaign finance reform and lobbyist reform, but the reversal that most disappointed me (since I once thought that McCain was one of the few voices of reason and moderation on the right) was his backtracking on prohibiting waterboarding and other torture techniques. That's when I realized it was no longer about principle but about towing the right-wing line.

Who to Beat
Obama already has the GOP and McSame beaten.
His real opponent is the media who openly admit they are into big McBush loving.
