I remember not all that long ago when McCain remarked that this type of executive power abuse was not all that different from a dictatorship.. Now he seems to have no problem with it at all... Talk about a Flip-Flop...

McCain said something the other day that he didn't blame Bush, he agreed with wire tapping Americans. What a dufus.
Against it in the beginning, for it now, true to form.

Of course! McSame is NOT running for a third Bush term. No way. That's ridiculous. That wouldn't give McSame the keys to power and all the money it brings.
McSame is just running for 4 more years of Bush's failed policies, with him now being the recipient of kickbacks from all the no-bid contracts and endless war instead of Bush/Cheney.

You gotta go with what you know. With the GOP that means their wet dream of a fascist police state.

If someone would have told me that Senator McCain would have said the flip-flopping things he has said the past year, I wouldn't have believed it possible! He really must want to be President, really bad! How very sad!
Wonder what McCain thinks about the Constitution?
Thanks Mark!

You need to wonder when top-advisers to McLame are starting to leak items like this, this EARLY in the campaign. They can't be doing it to garner support since the vast majority of Americans believe in the Bill of Rights (with the exception of the right wing on here that is) it has to be taken for what it is, if you elect this man BEWARE.

All we really need to do to beat McCain in November is to keep pointing out that he has become no different that Bush. I think that that alone is enough to derail him.
