McCain's gettin' mavericky again

[PearlSB4U]

he [McCain] is the "poster senator" for putting winning above principle...

I nominate Mitt Romney as the "poster ex-Governor" or "poster presidential candidate" for putting winning above principle.
As Governor of Mass. Romney was pro-choice, pro-health care, pro-gay rights, anti-gun.
Now, seeking the GOP presidential nomination, he's flip-flopped on all these & maybe more issues.

I agree. It will be interesting to see how he continues to try and rewrite his own record...

As an Independent voter, these are Republicans that I could possibly support if they ran on their records and ideals. As opposed to the socially conservative types who are laying it on thick to the republican base.

Romney's a pandering, plastic, "stick your finger in the air to judge what direction to take" politician who lacks core principle. He's always been that way, nothing has changed.

Torture didn't, waterboarding did.

Since when is waterboarding not torture?

I don't know. Since when did a drowning victim not suffer on the way to his death? This is insane because even after the torture victim has revealed everythind he knows, the torture isn't going to end.

you did not have to do anything, you liked the crap spewed by palin, and if lined up before a firing squad and asked if waterboarding is torture, that you die with the wrong answer, you would admit the truth

translated, he's mormon, is a straight up family guy, is a centrist, does not pander to the redneck kneejerk agenda, and is intelligent enough to change his mind when presented to new facts.

I honestly cannot extract any meaning or sense from the above "sentence."
Bob, could you please restate your point? I missed it entirely.

Get another translator, yours clearly doesn't speak my language. ;-)
