Oh I know, I'm not saying that at all. With McCain it's just insane how back and forth he goes so quickly. I've honestly never seen something so bizarre.

So much for straight talk

Didn't you post this video already? Or was that saden?

Either way, the problem is really that McCain really hasn't changed all that much. I mean in the sense that "straight talk" was always about "Hey, let's sit down and talk. And I'll give it to you straight what I'm thinking (at this moment, on this circumstance)." And everyone said wow that's great, a politician who doesn't feed me tired lines. The point of view might change over time, but that's straight talk. "I said a few months ago this, that, and the other...but I don't feel the same anymore. Here's why." But that doesn't fly when you're running for President.

Not if he's not your candidate of choice.

Well as of now I have heard Obama say anyone making under 250,000 will not see their taxes go up. Last night and just recently he said people making under 200,000. Biden in an interview set the bar at $150,000. So which one is it?

Hey, this is all about "Change," so who cares if we pick an actual number? In fact, if that target keeps moving, shifting and adjusting, I say "bravo" for the change!
