			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Top Clinton Backers Tell Donors: Stop Whining</h1>
<div>
<p>In a sign that senior Democratic officials remain deeply concerned that post-primary bitterness could imperil Barack Obama&#8217;s chances, two top Democratic officials have emailed a sharply-worded letter to major donors and other leading Dems confessing &#8220;fatigue and irritation&#8221; at those withholding full support from Obama and demanding that they get behind him &#8220;without conditions or demands.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I supported Hillary Clinton and am proud and pleased that I did,&#8221; reads the email, which was written by Donald Fowler, a former DNC chair and DNC member-at-large who was one of Hillary&#8217;s most prominent supporters. Alice Germond, the Secretary of the DNC, is also a signatory.</p>
<p>&#8220;But she lost,&#8221; continues the email, which was sent our way by a source. Barack Obama won. It&#8217;s over.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/world/fears-of-a-nofun-olympics-in-beijing-20080718-3hkb.html" target="_blank">read an article about China tonight</a>. They are gettin ready for the olympics so they are banning blacks and monglians (cause they are the drug dealers), Gays, and dancing..all in preperation for the olympics.</p>
<p>Usually something like this would upset me. I cant help but laugh tho..the chinese in china are so off on this, for so many reasons.</p>
<p><span id="more-82"></span>Lets start with dancing&#8230;first off..this is for the olympics right? Umm gymnists throw dance steps into their routines in the competion. Dancing is a sport..might not be something they compete with in the olympics but it is combined with alot of the sports they do compete in. Plus the whole world dances. Every single country has dance in its culture&#8230;so that is just wack as hell to me. I dont get it.</p>
<p>Then as far as banning blacks&#8230;wtf? So if I wanted to come to the olympics, as an american..I wouldnt be allowed to hang out in the city. Eat at a restaraunt or 2? Shop?</p>
<p>Just crazy&#8230;china needs to step their game up! The whole world is black&#8230;if its not the color of their skin its the music or culture. And dancing is a way of life! Its expression and it should be admired not shunned.</p>

WHEN DID ANY OF THAT EVEN MATTER? THIS IS THE KINDA MADNESS THAT PISSES ME OFF&#8230;IMA TURN CONSERVATIVE REAL QUICK AND TELL THE GOVT TO CENSOR THE MEDIA CAUSE SHIT IS OUTTA HAND NOW<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p></span></em>(CNN) — Longtime Washington talk-show host John McLaughlin is facing fire Monday for referring to Barack Obama as an &#8220;Oreo&#8221; during a segment on his Sunday political program, &#8220;The McLaughlin Group.</p>
<p>The veteran Washington journalist was discussing the recent comments from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was caught last week by an open microphone on Fox News saying the Illinois senator is &#8220;talking down to black people&#8221; as he campaigns for the White House. Those remarks were largely seen in reference to Obama&#8217;s recent admonishment at a Chicago church of some black men who he said were not living up to their responsibilities as parents.</p>
<p>Referencing Jackson&#8217;s comments, McLaughlin said Obama &#8220;fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo — a black on the outside, a white on the inside.<br />
&#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;Does it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that…an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for?&#8221; McLaughlin asked his panelists.</p>
<p>The term &#8220;Oreo&#8221; is often viewed as a derogatory term toward some African-Americans who appear not to exhibit certain stereotypes of their race.</p>
<p>Watch: McLaughlin&#8217;s comments cause uproar</p>
<p>Panelist Peter Beinart, a senior fellow on the Council of Foreign Relations, immediately called that depiction of Obama &#8220;completely unfair.<br />
&#8220;</p>
<p>Michelle Bernard, another panelist on the program and the president of the Independent Women&#8217;s Forum also said she disagreed with the comments, saying &#8220;If Barack Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of African-Americans is an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people who fought for our rights, and all of us say that you cannot blame &#8216;the man&#8217; or white racism for everything that ails the black community.<br />
&#8220;</p>
<p>Roland Martin, a CNN contributor and host of a syndicated radio show, says some people may be overreacting to McLaughlin&#8217;s remark.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obama&#8217;s candidacy is bringing to light to the internal conversation that is taking place in black America and white America. I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with the dialogue,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If John McLaughlin was an African American and who had made the comment, people would have said, well, he probably understands what he&#8217;s talking about.<br />
&#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;The reality is we also have a white, his mother is white and his dad is from Kenya,&#8221; Martin also said.<br />
&#8220;I think that is the qualifier there and this is a debate that you have heard take place inside of the black community that you also have people who question someone like Obama, where does he stand? Is he black enough?&#8221;</p>

<p><img src="http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/nov05election/2005/10/13/mccain-schwarzenegger224x144.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="5" align="right" /> Barack Obama&#8217;s has great ideas on energy and the environment, and his proposals seem in line for a country hungry for change. Meanwhile, John McCain&#8217;s campaign-trail pronouncements are at odds with his previous positions, leading voters to take what he says now with a grain of salt. Oh yeah, and he&#8217;s OK with keeping troops in Iraq for 100 years.</p>
<p>This standard set of Democratic talking points received another airing Sunday in a prominent politician&#8217;s interview with ABC&#8217;s George Stephanopoulos. Except this time a Democrat wasn&#8217;t the messenger. It was California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the most prominent members of the Republican Party and an endorser of John McCain&#8217;s presidential candidacy.</p>
<p>Schwarzenegger agrees with Democratic candidate Obama on energy, environmental and education issues as well as on the need for a timeline to withdraw from Iraq, but he also is friends with McCain, who gained a reputation as a maverick in the Senate although he&#8217;s been reaching out more to the right-wing base of his party.</p>
<p>Perhaps demonstrating a lack of confidence in his own pick in November&#8217;s election, the movie star-turned-politician said he would be willing to entertain serving in Obama&#8217;s White House &#8220;when he&#8217;s president.&#8221; On <em>This Week</em> Schwarzenegger was asked about reports that Obama would consider naming him &#8220;energy czar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephanopoulos tried to pin Schwarzenegger down on the question, asking if the governor &#8220;would at least take that call&#8221; from Obama offering such a position.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would take his call now, I will take his call when he&#8217;s president. Any time&#8221; Schwarzenegger said. Perhaps realizing the pronouncement he just made, he backtracked a bit. &#8220;Remember, no matter who is president, I don&#8217;t see this as a political thing, I see this as we always have to help no matter what the administration is.&#8221;</p>
<p>The popular Republican governor of a solidly blue state also tried to sell McCain as more of a maverick than the candidate has been presenting himself as. Stephanopoulos reminded Schwarzenegger of McCain&#8217;s recent endorsements of offshore drilling, and President Bush&#8217;s economic and health policies.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is being said on those presidential campaigns is one thing. But what people have done in the past is something else,&#8221; Schwarzenegger said, promoting McCain as a Maverick who is &#8220;interested in molding his ideas together with Democratic ideas&#8221; to find compromise.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sounds like you&#8217;re saying don&#8217;t listen to what he says on the campaign trail,&#8221; Stephanopoulos charged, to which Schwarzenegger insisted he just wanted to remind voters to judge McCain on his record.</p>
<p>Schwarzenegger seemed also to struggle in his defense of McCain when the host reminded him of his endorsement for a timeline to withdraw troops from Iraq. He reminded viewers that McCain wouldn&#8217;t mind not pulling out of Iraq for a century, a declaration that liberal groups and anti-war activists have hammered him over.</p>
<p>&#8220;I made clear that I believe in the timeline, but I said we should never leave, and just walk out the door,&#8221; Schwarzenegger said, contrasting his position with an argument that no candidate is making on the campaign trail. &#8220;it could take years &#8230; but I think that Sen. McCain is absoultey correct to be honest with the people and to look at them in the eye and to say, &#8216;I cannot promise you we will not have some troops in there in Iraq in many more years from now. It could be 100 years, he said that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schwarzenegger continued McCain&#8217;s argument with the caveat that we&#8217;vd had troops in Germany and Japan since World War II ended in 1945.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw a <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmRhaWx5a29zLmNvbS9zdG9yeS8yMDA4LzcvMTIvMTUzMTU3LzQyNC81OTEvNTUwNjQx" target="_self"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;">blog today on the kos</span></span></a>..it was a person saying that they withheld donations from Obama based on his FISA position. There was a NYT article about it..and that is just one of the many msm reports of the netroots withholding money. Alot of them are doing it as some form of small punishment but still intend on voting for Obama in nov. The argument is this though&#8230;its showing in his money and making it harder for him to fight mccain in this election season. So not only are the punishing him on a decision he has already made..but they are helping him to lose by presenting him as a candidate who is losing his support..to that big margin of those that are still undecided. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>I saw some good comments to this blog&#8230;Ill start off with one I made in reply to some guy&#8217;s comment:</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>robertacker13:</strong> </span><span class="cu">most people agree on FISA</span> whether they say they care or dont care. the reason for all the caution and self-censorship from those who forgive obama on FISA is the fact that they know how the media will handle this situation and know that Obama gets a billion times more scrutiny than McCain ever will.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">my response:</span></strong> <span class="cu">Obama is scrutinized more then mccain</span> no matter whats going on in the campaign. So the netroots doesnt cause that they just give the pundits something more to put in their 60 minutes/papers.</span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its sad cause mccain has fucked up so much and Obama needs to win. We are just as bad as the MSM by making it harder for Obama to win. There is still alot of undecideds&#8230;and if they see that the libs and conservs. arent favoring obama..or they see that Obamas very supporters, are now mad and turning from him&#8230;its a big influence on the choice they make come november.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span class="cu"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Jennifer Claire:</strong></span> Umm, he did not vote</span> to change the Constitution. He voted on a bill. A bad bill, but it was a bill. To change the Constitution, it would have had to have been an amendment.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bad bill that gets signed into law is a lot easier to fix than a change to the Constitution. Please, can we stop with the hyperbole?</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>charlie mudcat:</strong></span> All of those on the left who are disappointed in Obama&#8211;let&#8217;s get real.  As you say, you&#8217;re going to vote for him over McCain.  As I&#8217;m sure you know, all of those donations you&#8217;re demanding back really can hurt his campaign to the extent that currently the RNC and McCain campaign ARE beating Obama in the money game.I think the point here is twofold: one, Obama is not going to please you on every single decision he makes.  That said, the reason he voted for the FISA bill, as he explained in his own blogpost, is that it is better than not having a bill at all.  You may disagree with that, but the man is a confirmed pragmatist.  </p>
<p>Two:  take note.  You were 100% bound to be disappointed in this man at some point.  Expectations for him have ranged from the Second Coming to JFK to Martin.  He is an extraordinary man, but a man nonetheless.  During Kennedy&#8217;s term, he was enormously liked and admired, but there was much criticism of him, much of it warranted.  The test will be in how he takes that criticism, whether you feel listened to in spite of your criticism and what principles are being compromised.  </p>
<p>I too, could not find a good reason for him to vote for the FISA bill, but I know enough about him at this point to believe his intent will become manifest before too long.</p>
<p>Finally, imagine that the Dems and Repubs are two school age brats on the playground.  They&#8217;ve been insulting and hitting each other over stupid shit, some justified, some not, for decades.  At some point, somebody has to not hit back.  This is what I believe Obama is doing.  We need to move forward, not back.  Our crises are too pressing at this point to funnel a whole bunch of energy on revenge.  </p>
<p>So, can we please grow up?  Let&#8217;s stop taking our marbles and going home.  We&#8217;re all better off with a bit of the shine off of Obama.  Truth is, we&#8217;re all going to need to be 100% engaged in an Obama presidency.  Our lack of engagement has gotten us to where we are now.</p>
<p></span></span><span class="cu"></span> </p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>These comments made some good points&#8230;</em></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>1)</strong> its better to have a <em>bad bill then no regulation</em></span></span></p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>2)</strong> its better to have a bad bill thats<em> easily fixed</em> then an amendment to a law that takes away everything we have..which is harder to fix</span></span></p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>3) </strong>and something I already knew&#8230;donate to the man..holding donations is helping give mccain the upperhand..in turn, helping obama lose</span></span></p>
<p><span class="cu"></span> </p>
<p><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Here is one more comment I MADE:</span></strong> </span></span><span class="cu"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and its selfish of us to demand more OR no  more donations&#8230;when we never got more before?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the first president nominee to offer so much to our pleasing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though I know our demands are IMPORTANT I feel like the people holding money from him are like spoiled children&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&#8220;I know your giving me everything, but I want more..and I want it before your president!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>and we arent the only ones<br />
this man is defending himself againt mccain<br />
this man is defending himself againt bush<br />
this man is promoting himself againt far right<br />
this man is defending himself againt black cmmty<br />
this man is defending himself againt far left<br />
this man is trying to woo HRC voters<br />
this man is trying to look strong in the areas that the right would call him weak<br />
this man is defending himself againt supporters views and comments via tv</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once he is elected we can hold him as accountable as ever, and he has agreed to listen to us..but until then we need to give the man a break! Give his ass some money!</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>National Security Policy</strong></p>
<p>1. McCain thought Bush&#8217;s warrantless wiretap program <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15781.html">circumvented the law</a>; now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>2. McCain insisted that everyone, even &#8220;terrible killers,&#8221; &#8220;the worst kind of scum of humanity,&#8221; and detainees at Guantanamo Bay, &#8220;deserve to have some adjudication of their cases,&#8221; even if that means &#8220;releasing some of them.&#8221; McCain now <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15999.html">believes the opposite</a>.</p>
<p>3. He <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15864.html">opposed indefinite detention</a> of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it &#8220;one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.&#8221;</p>
<p>4. In February, McCain <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/10/emtimeem-has-mccain-flip_n_96179.html">reversed course</a> on prohibiting waterboarding.</p>
<p>5. McCain favored closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay <a href="http://www.azcongresswatch.com/?p=1587%22">before he was against it</a>.</p>
<p>6. When Barack Obama talked about going after terrorists in Pakistani mountains with Predators, McCain criticized him for it. He&#8217;s since come to the <a href="http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/06/17/mccain-s-bomb.aspx">opposite conclusion</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Foreign Policy</strong></p>
<p>7. McCain was for kicking Russia out of the G8 <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16008.html">before he was against it</a>.</p>
<p>8. McCain supported moving &#8220;<a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15617.html">toward normalization of relations</a>&#8221; with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>9. McCain believed the United States should <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15557.html">engage in diplomacy with Hamas</a>. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>10. McCain believed the United States should <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15564.html">engage in diplomacy with Syria</a>. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>11. McCain is both for and against a &#8220;<a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/04/mccain-rewrites.html">rogue state rollback</a>&#8221; as a focus of his foreign policy vision.</p>
<p>12. McCain used to champion the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071031/NATION/110310071/1001">Law of the Sea convention</a>, even volunteering to testify on the treaty&#8217;s behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.</p>
<p>13. McCain was against <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/06/04/mccain-divestment/">divestment from South Africa</a> before he was for it.</p>
<p><strong>Military Policy</strong></p>
<p>14. McCain recently claimed that he was the &#8220;greatest critic&#8221; of Rumsfeld&#8217;s failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as &#8220;a mission accomplished.&#8221; In March 2004, he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m confident <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/18/mccain-greatest-critic/">we&#8217;re on the right course</a>.&#8221; In December 2005, he said, &#8220;Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.&#8221;</p>
<p>15. McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15370.html">on multiple occasions</a>, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good idea and a bad idea.</p>
<p>16. McCain said before the war in Iraq, &#8220;We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.&#8221; Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was &#8220;probably going to be long and hard and tough.&#8221;</p>
<p>17. McCain has repeatedly said it&#8217;s a dangerous mistake to tell the &#8220;enemy&#8221; when U.S. troops would be out of Iraq. In May, McCain announced that most American troops would be home from Iraq by 2013.</p>
<p>18. McCain was against expanding the GI Bill <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16022.html">before he was for it</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Domestic Policy</strong></p>
<p>19. McCain defended &#8220;<a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15863.html">privatizing</a>&#8221; Social Security. Now he says he&#8217;s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)</p>
<p>20. McCain <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/10/mccain-flips-on-abortion_n_101115.html">wanted to change</a> the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>21. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel <a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/may/28/mccains-about-face-yucca/">at Yucca Mountain</a> in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>22. He argued that <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15573.html">the NRA should not have a role</a> in the Republican Party&#8217;s policy making. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>23. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15033.html">McCain opposes</a> a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won&#8217;t commit to supporting a regulation bill he&#8217;s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris&#8217; former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.</p>
<p>24. McCain is both <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/06/mccain-earmark/">for and against</a> earmarks for Arizona.</p>
<p>25. McCain&#8217;s first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn&#8217;t be &#8220;rewarded&#8221; for acting &#8220;irresponsibly.&#8221; His second mortgage plan took largely the <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15176.html">opposite position</a>.</p>
<p>26. McCain went from saying gay marriage should be <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/8809.html">allowed</a>, to saying gay marriage <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/02/mccain200702?printable=true&amp;currentPage=all">shouldn&#8217;t be allowed</a>.</p>
<p>27. McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. before he supported it.</p>
<p>28. McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he&#8217;s <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15637887/">pro-ethanol</a>.</p>
<p>29. McCain was both for and against state promotion of the <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310003">Confederate flag</a>.</p>
<p>30. <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/12/mccain-creationism/">In 2005</a>, McCain <a href="http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/opinion/90521">endorsed</a> intelligent design creationism, a year later he said the <a href="http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20060702/NEWS/107020079">opposite</a>, and a few months after that, he was <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/02/mccain200702?printable=true&amp;currentPage=all">both</a> for and against creationism at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Economic Policy</strong></p>
<p>31. McCain was against Bush&#8217;s tax cuts for the very wealthy before he was <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/6731.html">for them</a>.</p>
<p>32. John McCain initially argued that economics is not an area of expertise for him, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues; I still need to be educated,&#8221; and &#8220;The issue of economics is not something I&#8217;ve understood as well as I should.&#8221; He now falsely denies ever having made these remarks and insists that he has a &#8220;<a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16070.html">very strong</a>&#8221; understanding of economics.</p>
<p>33. McCain vowed, if elected, to balance the federal budget by the end of his first term. Soon after, he decided he would <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/us/politics/16mccain.html?_r=1&amp;hp&amp;oref=slogin">no longer even try</a> to reach that goal. And soon after that, McCain <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16112.html">abandoned his second position and went back to his first</a>.</p>
<p>34. McCain said in 2005 that he opposed the tax cuts because they were &#8220;<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/03/us/politics/03mccain.html?ref=us">too tilted to the wealthy</a>.&#8221; By 2007, he denied ever having said this, and falsely argued that he opposed the cuts because of increased government spending.</p>
<p>35. McCain thought <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15825.html">the estate tax</a> was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.</p>
<p>36. McCain pledged in February 2008 that he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Specifically, McCain was asked if he is a &#8220;&#8216;read my lips&#8217; candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?&#8221; referring to George H.W. Bush&#8217;s 1988 pledge. &#8220;No new taxes,&#8221; McCain responded. Two weeks later, <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/14761.html">McCain said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not making a &#8216;read my lips&#8217; statement, in that I will not raise taxes.&#8221;</p>
<p>37. McCain has changed his entire economic worldview <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15337.html">on multiple occasions</a>.</p>
<p>38. McCain believes Americans are both <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/19/mccain-economy-bloomberg/">better and worse off</a> economically than they were before Bush took office.</p>
<p><strong>Energy Policy</strong></p>
<p>39. McCain supported the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/16/AR2008061602148.html">moratorium on coastal drilling</a>; now he&#8217;s against it.</p>
<p>40. McCain recently announced his strong opposition to a windfall tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/18/mccains-offshore-drilling_n_107872.html">perfectly comfortable with the idea</a>.</p>
<p>41. McCain endorsed a cap-and-trade policy with a mandatory emissions cap. In mid-June, McCain announced he <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15897.html">wants the caps to be voluntary</a>.</p>
<p>42. McCain explained his belief that a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax would provide an immediate economic stimulus. Shortly thereafter, he argued <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15982.html">the exact opposite</a>.</p>
<p>43. McCain supported the <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15699.html">Lieberman/Warner legislation</a> to combat global warming. Now he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p><strong>Immigration Policy</strong></p>
<p>44. McCain was a co-sponsor of <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071031/NATION/110310071/1001">the DREAM Act</a>, which would grant legal status to illegal immigrants&#8217; kids who graduate from high school. Now he&#8217;s against it.</p>
<p>45. On immigration policy in general, McCain announced in February 2008 that he would <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/14447.html">vote against his own bill</a>.</p>
<p>46. In April, McCain promised voters that he would secure the borders &#8220;before proceeding to other reform measures.&#8221; Two months later, he <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16038.html">abandoned his public pledge</a>, pretended that he&#8217;d never made the promise in the first place, and vowed that a comprehensive immigration reform policy has always been, and would always be, his &#8220;top priority.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Judicial Policy and the Rule of Law</strong></p>
<p>47. McCain said he would &#8220;not impose <a href="http://www.americablog.com/2008/06/now-mccain-is-flip-flopping-on-judges.html">a litmus test</a> on any nominee.&#8221; He used to promise the opposite.</p>
<p>48. McCain believes the telecoms should be forced to explain their role in the administration&#8217;s warrantless surveillance program <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/28/AR2008052802967.html">as a condition for retroactive immunity</a>. He used to believe the opposite.</p>
<p>49. McCain went from saying he <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310003">would not support repeal</a> of Roe v. Wade to saying the <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/19/mccain-abortion/">exact opposite</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Campaign, Ethics, and Lobbying Reform</strong></p>
<p>50. McCain supported <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/20/mccains-97-lobbyist-bill_n_102662.html">his own lobbying-reform legislation</a> from 1997. Now he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>51. In 2006, McCain sponsored legislation to require grassroots lobbying coalitions to reveal their financial donors. In 2007, after receiving &#8220;feedback&#8221; on the proposal, McCain told far-right activist groups that he <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/9658.html">opposes his own measure</a>.</p>
<p>52. McCain supported a campaign-finance bill, which bore his name, on strengthening the public-financing system. In June 2007, he <a href="http://www.nysun.com/article/36949">abandoned</a> his own legislation.</p>
<p><strong>Politics and Associations</strong></p>
<p>53. McCain wanted political support from radical televangelist <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15633.html">John Hagee</a>. Now he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>54. McCain wanted political support from radical televangelist <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15633.html">Rod Parsley</a>. Now he doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>55. McCain says he <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/14818.html">considered and did not consider</a> joining John Kerry&#8217;s Democratic ticket in 2004.</p>
<p>56. McCain is both <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15358.html">for and against</a> attacking Barack Obama over his former pastor at his former church.</p>
<p>57. McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as &#8220;an agent of intolerance&#8221; in 2002, but then decided to <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/6988.html">cozy up to the man</a> who said Americans &#8220;deserved&#8221; the 9/11 attacks.</p>
<p>58. In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending &#8220;dirty money&#8221; to help finance Bush&#8217;s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=1880630&amp;page=1">reached out to the Wylys for support</a>.</p>
<p>59. McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/8313.html">before he was for it</a>.</p>
<p>60. McCain <a href="http://nymag.com/news/people/24750/index5.html">decided</a> in 2000 that he didn&#8217;t want anything to do with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, believing he &#8220;would taint the image of the &#8216;Straight Talk Express.&#8217;&#8221; Kissinger is now the <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/19/mccain-kissinger/">honorary co-chair</a> for his presidential campaign in New York.</p>
<p>61. McCain believed powerful right-wing activist/lobbyist Grover Norquist was &#8220;corrupt, a shill for dictators, and (with just a dose of sarcasm) Jack Abramoff&#8217;s gay lover.&#8221; McCain now considers Norquist a <a href="http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_stump/archive/2008/06/23/mccain-and-grover-now-officially-simpatico.aspx">key political ally</a>.</p>
<p>And while I realize there are some who believe these constant flip-flops are irrelevant, I <a href="http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16071.html">respectfully disagree</a>.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ummmm..Johnny baby&#8230;are ya sitting down? Here&#8217;s a few of your own words that lead all of us to distrust you overwhelmingly, every day! You&#8217;re an embarrassment to yourself, McSame! This is the age of the &#8220;Internet(s)&#8221; and &#8220;the&#8221; Youtube using Bushian malaprops. We&#8217;ve got you on record, McFlip/Flop!

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>Divestment from South Africa</strong>: During his June 2 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), John McCain called for the international community to target Iran for the kind of worldwide sanctions regime applied to apartheid-era South Africa. Unfortunately, McCain&#8217;s lobbyist-advisers Charlie Black and Rick Davis each represented firms doing business with Tehran. Even more unfortunate, John McCain was frequently not among those offering &#8220;moral clarity and conviction&#8221; in backing &#8220;a divestment campaign against South Africa, helping to rid that nation of the evil of apartheid.&#8221;<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>Opposing Hurricane Katrina Investigations</strong>: During a June 4th town hall meeting in Baton Rouge, John McCain answered a reporter&#8217;s question regarding Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the New Orleans levees by announcing:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve supported every investigation and ways of finding out what caused the tragedy. I&#8217;ve been here to New Orleans. I&#8217;ve met with people on the ground.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As it turns out, not so much. McCain&#8217;s revisionist history neglects to mention that in 2005 and 2006 he twice voted against a commission to study the government&#8217;s response to Katrina. He also opposed three separate emergency funding measures providing relief to Katrina victims, including the extension of five months of Medicaid benefits. And as ThinkProgress pointed out, &#8220;until traveling there one month ago, McCain had made just one public tour of New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina touched down in August 2005.&#8221;<br />

Actually, I have not.&#8221; &#8220;I said that I am stronger on national security issues because of all the time I spent in the military and others. I am very strong on the economy. I understand it. I have a lot more experience than my opponent.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&#8211; Sen. John McCain, in an interview on ABC News, when asked why he &#8220;admitted that you&#8217;re not exactly an expert when it comes to the economy.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, NBC News compiles past McCain quotes in which he said &#8220;The issue of economics is not something I&#8217;ve understood as well as I should&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.&#8221;<br />
