McCain was for a VP before he was against it.

John Kerry couldnot  have come close to number of flip flops John McCain has done over the past few months. After being against the tax cuts, off shore drilling, immigration reform John McCain has now reversed his positions on all of those issues.

Now reports are emerging that John McCain has decided on a VP but then John McCain say he hasn’t. Which one is it Senator? Have you or haven’t you?

On a more serious note, Karl Rove is reported to be playing a more important role in the McCain Campaign. Jonathan Martin of Politico.com reported that Karl Rove called Sen. Lieberman to ask him to withdraw his name from the pool of McCain’s VP hopefuls. I actually welcome this development for the simple reason that Karl Rove actually motivates Democrats and independents who want to be rid of his style of sleazy politics. If Senator McCain wants to set himself apart from Bush, he will also have to set himself apart from Karl Rove.

Dems worried about Invesco event

I am so tired of the Democratic party acting like a bunch of wimps and allowing the Republicans to dictate the conversation on everything from their patriotism to their machismo.

Here is a sample -

Senior Democratic officials are expressing serious concerns about the political risks posed by Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High tonight …

A common concern: that the stadium appearance plays against Obama’s convention goal of lowering his star wattage and connecting with average Americans and gives Republicans a chance to drive home their message that the Democratic nominee is a narcissistic celebrity candidate.

How about telling the Republicans that we are taking this opportunity to celebrate democracy by giving 75000 people an opportunity to participate in a democratic process, unlike the Republicans in their country club atmosphere of multi-millionaires party members and lobbyists at their convention.

How about telling them we are taking this opportunity to celebrate the millions of young people who have been inspired by the Obama campaign and have participated in the Democratic process for the first time.

How about telling the Republicans that they could have has one at the Invesco stadium but they could not find Americans rich enough to become party members considering you need to have 5 million dollars and 4+ houses to qualify for membership.

Barack Obama has inspired millions of people across the world to be less cynical and dare to hope for the first time, but off course the Republicans wouldn’t want that to happen because then we might actually wake up and realize that it is their policies for the last eight years that have made life so difficult for the ordinary American.
