Wrong from the start. McCain likes to say he was an early critic of Donald Rumsfeld's Iraq war strategy. McCain conveniently forgets that he told CNN in September of 2002 that the war would be "fairly easy" and could be won "in a very short period of time." In 2006, he curiously complained that people "were led to believe that this would be some kind of a day at the beach, which many of us fully understood from the very beginning would be a very, very difficult undertaking."
Original or Crispy? Kentucky Fried Chicken lets you pick original or crispy. So does McCain. Original McCain told reporters in New Hampshire: "I would not support repeal of Roe versus Wade." The new, crispy McCain recently said: "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."
Original McCain denounced right-wing evangelical Jerry Falwell as an "agent of intolerance." Crispy McCain delivered the commencement address at Falwell's Liberty University
Original solicited and got the support of anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic televangelist John Hagee. Crispy stalled for months, then finally dropped him.
Original McCain shared the stage with anti-gay, anti-choice megachurch pastor Rod Parsley who said of Islam, "America was founded with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed." (I must've been absent from history class that day.) Crispy McCain left Parsley at the altar.
Original McCain cosponsored a bill with Senator Ted Kennedy to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Crispy McCain says he would vote against his own bill.
Original McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts that "mostly benefit the wealthy." Today's Crispy is all for them.
Original McCain, a POW torture victim himself, called waterboarding a "terrible and odious practice." Crispy voted against banning it.
Original: Close Guantanamo Bay prison and move the detainees to Fort Leavenworth. Crispy: It is premature to close it.
Offshore oil drilling? Original McCain was against it. Crispy wants drilling off the coasts of California and Florida, but, inexplicably, not Alaska.
Last week, McCain called for offshore drilling at an event in Santa Barbara, Calif., where in 1969 an offshore oil rig blowout dumped 3 million gallons of crude onto coastal beaches and waterways.
A displeased McCain supporter, the governor of Cauli-fornia, said he's serious about the ban on drilling. "And we're not going to change that."
