Resting on his Laurel







"COUNTRY FIRST vs. SELF-SERVING PARTISANSHIP"



McCain's newest strategy is too ironic to be taken seriously.



McCain strategist Steve Schmidt has released the master plan for McCain's 2008 presidential bid: underscore McCain's willingness to sacrifice everything for his principles, while pointing to Obama's "flip flops." The main thrust of this gameplan will focus on McCain's five years as a Prisoner of War.



Are they nuts? If anything, it will serve to remind people that McCain was once a much bigger man than he currently is.



Consider this quick list of easily-proven McCain flip flops:



Torture

Abortion

Gay marriage

Immigration

The Inheritance tax

The Confederate flag

Ethanol

Ethics Reform

The Religious Right

Cuba

How to deal with terrorists

Privatizing Social Security

Ease of "victory" in Iraq

America's "official" language

FISA

Iraq timetable

Oil company profits

Tax cuts



Surely an exhaustive search for issues about which McGrumpy's waffled would contain five times this many subjects.



If this is the best Schmidt can do, the rapture-ublicans are in deep shit.
