It's Okay If You're John McCain

Remember cap-n-trade, the anti-global warming policy on which McCain flip-flop-flipped? Well, now it seems that his campaign is signaling a reflop.

FORBES: Yes. I think cap and trade is going to go the way of some other things...I don’t think those things are going to get very far as people start to examine the details of them.

BECK: But shouldn’t he have examined those details, Steve? Shouldn’t he have known that’s a bad idea?

FORBES: Yes, well, he’s moving in the right direction. You got to give him credit. He’s now for really having active exploration offshore.

Once again, I'm totally confused about where John McCain really stands. This pattern of trying to be all things to all people is a hallmark of McCain's presidential campaign, and the media allows him to get away with it. He is playing them for a fool. Either that, or they are playing us for a fool.
