McCain Camp tries to paint Obama as Kerry

Ok, I am not the biggest Obama supporter out there, but my blood starts to boil every time one of the Republicans tries to paint any person as weak on terror or a flip flopper just because their decisions are based on facts and logic and not on some kind of party line, ideology or book.

Fox news has this article on a memo released by a McCain adviser Steve Schmidt who held a similar role in Bush – Cheney 2004 team.

Their basic premise is that Obama is a flip flopper for refusing public financing after saying last year that he would consider it. The other accusations, are a play on his statements regarding NAFTA, IRAQ, tax increases and Jerusalem.

My sense of outrage is because, any person who has followed the two campaigns closely and doesn’t just follow the sound bites knows where each candidate stands on issues, and knows when there is a change in position. I would take Obama’s flip flops on any day then take these seismic changes in policy positions from John McCain on

Bush’s Tax Cuts – He was against them before he was for them.

Torture - McCain denounces Supreme Courtfor ruling on GitmoDetainees. As per McCain we can hold people without cause for as long as we like, as long as we don’t drown them

Environment – but its ok to drill offshore.

Give me a break. I mean now I am starting to lose respect for Senator McCain.

On a side note – how many of you wish John Kerry would just disappear from the Obama Campaign. I for one believe the guy is just plan bad luck. They should name him “The Cooler”
