I too thought highly of McCain back in 2000 but it seems sometime after his finance reform attempt he rolled over. It was as if someone took him out to the shed, spanked him silly, and then sent him back into the house with the company. Today, I don't know what to think. Here's hoping the debates get real and we can actually make an informed choice. Great post! I couldn’t agree more.

A while ago, Jon Stewart got McCain on the Daily Show. McCain had just committed to speaking at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, after having consistently attacked Falwell's politics in the past. On the subject of that speaking engagement, Stewart asked McCain, "Are you going to crazy base land?" and McCain replied, "I'm afraid I am." The best part is the religious right hates McCain.

Right up there with "Freedom of speech only applies to speech I agree with."---something else that's far too prevalent these days. Ah, yes, the “It’s only bad if I don’t like the result” principle.

What profiteth it a man if he win the GOP nomination and shill off his soul? As to activist judges -- by definition, it's a judge who overturns laws or precedent you like. Railing against them in principle is guaranteed to lead to hypocrisy. Yeah, McCain has been a very large disappointment to me.

If he's willing to change his entire stance, though, how different is he from the man he once despised? I think he learned a hard lesson last time out by being usurped by GWB.
