I Never Change McCain…

In the last week or so the number of news articles asserting the McCain campaign and McCain himself are forging into new territory concerning whether or not the next President of the United States can actually lie his way into the job has exploded exponentially.  What is so troubling, and what has never been observed before is that when called on simple inaccuracies most candidates simply correct and move on.  The McCain camp, and one must assume McCain himself has concluded that it is better to stick with a lie, even in the face of the facts in order to win.  So here is the gist of what I’m saying excerpted from the article published here.  The excerpt below describes an exchange between John McCain and Judy Behar on The View.

‘…McCain looked irked when Behar asked him whether he had jettisoned his independence as a candidate by appearing to be in “lock step” with President Bush’s policies.

“What specific area have I, quote, ‘changed?’ Nobody can name it,” McCain said.

McCain has changed positions on significant issues. For example, he once opposed Bush’s tax cuts but now supports making them permanent. He had opposed lifting the ban on additional offshore oil exploration but now calls for drilling off the U.S. coast. He had been against mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions but now favors them….’

Little did we know one year ago that this campaign would be a true fight of good versus evil.  I wonder which one Americans will Choose?
