Then you should hate McCain.

Obama recently switched his position on FISA and that pissed me off, and that was his first official "flip flop" that I've seen, but now they're trying to paint him as the biggest flip flopper in the world. It's such a weird argument considering how many times McCain has flip flopped - and it's a LOT. They're saying "see, you can't trust Obama cause he flip flops, so he shouldn't be president!" but the same argument works even BETTER against McCain. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
Lemme try and put this into a different context. This is a weird hypothetical but it's all I can think of: It's like Elky and I were competing for the same job, and Elky started arguing that I wasn't qualified for the job because I played starcraft. It's true, I did play starcraft and occasionally still do. But he played a hell of a lot more than I ever did and he was a pro-gamer. If having a background of starcraft disqualifies someone for the job, he's a million times more guilty of it than I am. It's a pretty insane argument to make.
The crazy thing about what's going on now is that some people are actually BUYING this line of argument. By McCain's own logic he should be completely disqualified from the race for the presidency, and he's out there spouting this BS over and over again, and people are stupid enough to fall for it.
Oh yeah, I also gotta mention one other insane thing that just happened. McCain and Bush both opposed the new GI bill till the last minute, but when it passed they took credit for it! "No, we must stop this bill! What, it passed? Oh, I just want to say I'm proud of all the hard work I did to push this bill through. Your welcome!" WTF. That's some insanity. Who does that? What kind of shady shit is that? Wow. One thing I have always respected about Republicans is that they have some fucking balls. Sadly they always use em to push for shit I don't want. Damn Democrats are running on issues I agree with but they're a bunch of pussies.
Oh well.

I guess you missed the point where I said that Obama changed positions too. I know both sides change positions and then attack the other side for their changed positions, but McCain has been riding a real high horse lately with a much longer list of flip flops and it's annoying as hell. |
