Senator McCain & Truth Syrum?

George Carlin once said, "Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."

Enter the Straight Talk Express of Senator McCain:


The Straight Talk Express full of honor, integrity, and truth syrum promises the cold hard truth above all else. So what happens when we evaluate Senator McCain's words and voting record?

• In 2001 and 2003 Senator McCain voted against tax cuts for the American people.


• In 2004, McCain voted against repealing the inheritance tax


• Said was for the upholding Roe v. Wade in 1999; said he wanted Roe v. Wade overturned in 2006


• McCain voted to fund stem cell research with federal dollars


• McCain crafted legislation eliminated gun shows from American soil in 2002


• McCain crafted legislation restricting free speech concerning political elections in 2005


• Voted against (DOMA) Defense of Marriage Act

The war hero from Arizona, since 1999, has gone maverick on Republicans and disguised himself as a conservative. The record is clear. So what does Senator McCain believe? He is a Rockefeller Republican. Schwarznegger, Olympia Snow, Lincoln Chaffe, etc...have a new bedfelow, John McCain. He is now a RINO- a Republican in name only.

The truth is that Senator McCain in eight years has evolved. A true first rate conservative for the first 19 years of political service, the Senator has made a calculated decision. Conservativism cannot get him elected to the White House. So instead of honorably representing The Senator claims the mantle of integrity, honor, and sacrifice.

Senator McCain has chosen to clamp down on people's freedoms. In 2002, he crafted legislation that would eliminate gun shows on American soil. In 2005, the Senator created more legislation limiting the free speech of all Americans during political campaigns.


So what is going on with McCain? No to gun shows, no to defense of marriage, yes to stem cell research, no to lowering taxes, no to conservative judicial appointees are all McCain specials. His votes defy conservatives. His votes defy Republicanism.


Senator McCain says he is all about "Straight Talk" with the American people. If so, then why Senator McCain call yourself a conservative since the term "moderate" fits the facts much better in your two runs for the Presidency?
