Why is John McCain(R) such a spineless flip-flopper & proven LIAR?

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told CNN that that President Bush’s escalation in Iraq is going so well, “General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee.” On Monday, he told radio host Bill Bennett that there “are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today.” This morning, during an interview with McCain, CNN’s John Roberts rebutted McCain’s assertions, stating, “I checked with General Petraeus’s people overnight and they said he never goes out in anything less than an up-armored humvee.” He added that a new report by retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey “said no Iraqi government official, coalition soldier, diplomat reporter could walk the streets of Baghdad without heavily armed protection.” Faced with overwhelming evidence that he was wrong, McCain denied he’d ever said it: “Well, I’m not saying they could go without protection. The President goes around America with protection. So, certainly I didn’t say that.”

1. there's your answer: CNN....the communist news network.
2. man if its so safe in iraq then why doesnt mccain take his tour bus there and hand out free candy.
3. This question is easy. He's a politician now running for president. More importantly, he's a politician who has been in office forever and knows how to play the game.
4. It's part of the party philosophy.
5. Why do you feel a need to put the R behind his name. We Republicans don't really consider him a true Republican.
6. McCain is on a quest for the Republican nomination. He is being the consumate politician and pandering to whomever he believes will give him the largest block of support. That he has been found to have made contradictory statements will only serve to demonstrate that he is probably not a likely candidate for the nomination.
7. Everyone knows Amnesty McCain is a opportunistic flip flopper. just remember this when you don't vote for him. Come on Arizonians get real dump him, look at the damage he has done to your state with his pro illegal stance.
8. McCain is still a Con, so what can you expect.
9. Because that is what being a republican is all about.
10. So THAT'S why he has been the Democrats' favorite Republican for so long - they love lying flip-floppers! As for the Humvees - every one over there is up-armored, so why is CNN spinning it that way? Why do they want to undermine our military? CNN hasn't earned my trust.
