The Real McCain

Brave New Films have done a great job of creating anti-McCain YouTube videos.

Here is "The Real McCain":



And here is "The Real McCain, Part II":


As you can see, John McCain talks out of both sides of his mouth constantly. Lately I've noticed that he seems to contradict himself within every speech, almost every statement. I'm not sure if this is mere confusion on his part, or a lack of principles. But clearly the guy is lying to the American people and being obtuse about his true beliefs. For example, he'll say he's cool with 100 years in Iraq, then talk about ending the war by 2013. He'll say Obama is wrong for wanting to bomb Al Qaeda targets in Pakistan, and then McCain will say that Obama is too soft on terrorists. Anyone who attacks him from the right or the left is told that they are misrepresenting what he is saying.

Basically, McCain wants to fool conservatives into thinking he is one of them, while also fooling liberals and independents into thinking he is the anti-Bush. It's a very risky ploy. Either he succeeds and fools everybody in believing him and voting for him, or the house of cards comes crumbling down and everyone realizes he's been lying to them. One of George W. Bush's great assets, even when he was a blundering fool, was that everyone knew where he stood. Nobody knows where John McCain stands.

Forget the Straight Talk Express. This is the Double Talk Express.
