Sen. John McCain, as everyone knows, has been flip-flopping on everything from abortion to gay rights to Mom and apple pie.
The great maverick that McCain supposedly is has become lost as he tries to court the religious right and make nice with Falwell and Dobson in an attempt to garner a foundation of voters for his 2008 presidential hopes.
Unfortunately, his mouth just got in the way.
(More on the flip.)
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, McCain is now willing to say anything to anyone at any time in order to get a vote.
When a member of the audience said to him, "You've been sucking up to the religious right" -- an allusion to McCain's ardent courtship of conservative Christian leaders, including a group he met privately with in Seattle Friday -- the presidential hopeful laughed and replied, "I'll probably get into trouble, but what's wrong with sucking up to everybody?"
Wow. Just wow.
McCain now actively concedes that he doesn't believe in anything other than what it will take to get enough votes to be the next President of the United States. How can anyone ever trust this man? He will say anything, even if he doesn't believe it.
Good grief. What a truly horrible person he must be that he can't even speak to his own convictions because they are disposable for a tick mark on a ballot.
Straight Talk Express? Not from John McCain.
He just said so himself.
