Don't Be Principled/Don't Be Consistent/Do Tell
Death, taxes, and......Senator McCain moving the goal-posts yet again. I mean, seriously, folks, isn't that basically what it's all come down to here? We got what? First-off the fellow says that, once in fact the leaders of the military recommend an end to "don't ask, don't tell", he, too, would also acquiesce. THEN, when that finally DID happen (this in the form of Secretary Gates and Admiral Mullen), he switches his criteria to being one of which - what will the Pentagon study ultimately say? NOW, now that the Pentagon study is finally out and it says that a repeal of "don't ask/don't tell" wouldn't at all hurt the military, what does he want? HE WANTS ANOTHER FRIGGING STUDY!!!! I mean, why doesn't he just frigging admit it here - he doesn't want gays in the military EVER?...Wow, huh? And to think that I did at one time admire this individual (1999-2001).

the Maverick!
He says now that he never considered himself a maverick.
By tomorrow he'll be claiming he was misquoted and has always considered himself a maverick !
Ah, yes, the flip-flop-....flip.
McShame learned something very valuable when gw beat him in the 2000 primary. It's better to win than anything else even at the sake of looking like an idiot(so now they both do).
Being right or righteous doesn't pay very well and really doesn't get you re-elected.
As stated throught the comments, maverick, indeed(*heavy sigh*).
Anytime you want to know what price to put on your reputation, just look to him. Don't believe me? You can even ask his ex-wives.
I used to think that the criticisms of McCain's mental status were at least somewhat unfair. Now, though, I'm not entirely sure. I think that they actually might have some validity now. Unfortunately.
