thank you republican John McCain

The John McCain we fell in love with in 2000 -- the straight-shooting, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may maverick -- is no more. Here is just a few of the many flip flops (say and do anything):

He's been replaced by a born-again Bushite willing to say or do anything to win the affection of his new-found object of desire, the radical right. For example, on tape we now hear McCain singing the praises of Karl Rove, calling him "one of the smartest political minds in America," and saying, "I'd be glad to get his advice."

The old John McCain once called Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and the like-minded religious bigots and agents of intolerance. The new John McCain now slavishly seeks their endorsement.

The old John McCain talked about trying to do something about global warming and encourage renewable energy. The new John McCain didn't show up for the vote on a bill that included tax incentives for clean energy, even though he was in DC. And then his staff misled environmentalists who called to protest by telling them that he had voted for it.

The new John McCain is now essentially running to give America a third Bush term -- and, indeed, will even out-Bush Bush when it comes to staying the disastrous course we're on in Iraq.

If you love George Bush, and all that he's brought you over the last seven years, you're gonna love John McCain.. If you think the problem with the United States right now is that we haven't given Bush enough time to finish his agenda, then John McCain is your man.

To think we voted for him, but that was when he was the old McCain. We didn't know he was such a flip-flopper. We are glad he has revealed his true self. Thank you John.
