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”

About
Welcome to my blog, a result of the 2008 Presidential election. Never have I been so involved in politics and learnt so much about myself and others, as I have during this campaign. I think there are no conservatives or liberals in the real world. They only exist on TV and radio.
I am a moderate and independent. I don’t believe that anything in this world is black and white. We are just not afforded the luxury of simplicity as everything lies somewhere in that grey area. There is some good and some evil, everything else is in the middle.
Therefore, I am for limited use of capital punishment, and for a women’s right to choose.
I am for those so called enhanced interrogation techniques, but not for legalizing then. I believe if their is truly that scenario of a ticking bomb, hey by all means.
I believe human behaviour is responsible for climate change. I am not sure that Global warming is the only result of it though, as I think it is too narrow a term to encompass everything we are doing to the environment.
I am a fiscal conservative and thereby for smaller government and fewer entitlements but do believe we need to pay our fair share of taxes, I just don’t want to see my taxes wasted by the government.
I am for open borders all across the world. If you are for free trade and a global economy and against immigration you are only avoiding the inevitable.
There are things you make agree with this on this blog and things you may not. If you agree great drop me a line, if you don’t, feel free to drop me a line and tell me why. I will give you a chance to change my mind or you can give me a chance to change yours.
Happy Reading and have fun.
