Should an “experienced” candidate be judged by his flip flops?

The old McCain....sponsored comprehensive immigration reform, including a path to citizenship
The new McCain...would now vote against his own McCain/Kennedy bill comprehensive immigration reform and only supports tougher border enforcement first

The old McCain.... Roe v Wade should not be overturned
The new McCain...would appoint judges who would likely overturn Roe if given the opportunity

The old McCain ...opposed to constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage
The new McCain...supports amendment to deny all spousal rights under law to domestic partners

The old MCCain....stated torture is wrong, holding detainees indefinitely is wrong
The new McCain... now says torture by the CIA is acceptable....recent USSC decision on detainee rights to habeas was a terrible ruling

The old McCain...proposed comprehensive campaign reform and supported comprehensive lobbyist reform
The new McCain...violated the McCain/Feingold act with his funding during the primaries, voted against tough lobbyist reform and surrounds himself with lobbyists

See a trend here...the old McCain was the so-called “maverick”
The new McCain is pandering to the conservative base.
