With each passing day, that John McCain is starting to lose his cool. It’s one thing to go on the attack; it’s another to get reckless. As much as I understand McCain’s desire to be president, I can’t help but notice that his desperation is beginning to cloud his judgment.
Yesterday during an interview with the Kansas City Star, McCain suggested Barack Obama is an "extremist," and possibly even a "socialist."
McCain insisted that Obama’s "voting record is more to the left than the announced socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont." When reporter Dave Helling asked if McCain believes Obama is a socialist, McCain said, "Oh I don’t know," as if it were a distinct possibility.
Then this:
McCain accused Obama of reversing course on comprehensive immigration reform, which is hysterical, given that McCain reversed course on comprehensive immigration reform and Obama didn’t.
Read this fascinating exchange (from carpetbagger):
Q: But you flip-flop a little bit too.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
Q: You flip-flop on drilling, on tax cuts...
McCain: Actually, I didn’t. Actually, on the drilling issue, when gasoline reached $4 a gallon, we’ve got to do things that we otherwise haven’t done in the past. I have not changed my mind on any other issue. On immigration, I said we need comprehensive immigration reform, it failed twice, so we’ve got to do what’s going to succeed.
Q: But you were against the tax cuts, now you’re talking about making them permanent. Isn’t there flip-flopping on both sides?
McCain: Actually, no.
McCain wants to justify his reversals, that’s fine. He can explain why he changed his mind on various policies, and hope that voters understand. But McCain has instead decided to pretend that he’s never flip-flopped at all. Reality just didn’t happen in McCain’s odd worldview.
I have not changed my mind on any other issue." Senator, I’ve counted all of his flip-flops — and at last count, there are 64. At least try to stick to reality here.
But Candidate McCain has become reckless, and frankly, kind of an embarrassment to himself.
I think he's experiencing dementia and needs to get a check up (or a Lobotomy)!
