Cafferty File: How Clear Is It Where McCain Stands On Issues
From the Cafferty File, here’s Jack’s question:
If John McCain doesn’t stop changing his position on the issues, he threatens to make John Kerry look like an amateur.
In order for McCain to win in November, he has to appeal to both the traditional Republican base and to independents. Dana Milbank in the Washington Post says it’s a delicate dance, and if McCain’s not careful “he’s liable to break a hip.” Of course any doctor will tell you a broken hip can be very difficult to recover from.
On Iraq, the economy, guns and God, McCain is to the right. On immigration, campaign finance reform and global warming, he’s to the left. It’s all very reminiscent of John Kerry back in 2004.
McCain went after Barack Obama yesterday, for proposing a windfall profits tax on oil companies. A month ago McCain said he was willing to consider a windfall tax on the oil companies.
What about offshore drilling? During his last presidential run, McCain was against it. Now he’s for it, saying the states should decide if they want to drill for oil off the coast. This could cost him big time in states like California and Florida which are extremely environmentally conscious.
Then there are the Bush tax cuts. McCain was against them — twice — but now he’s for them.
McCain has also called for the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay to be closed down and torture banned. But last week he criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling that detainees there should have access to U.S. courts — calling it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”
Here’s my question to you: How clear is it where John McCain stands on the issues?

Hey wipe Cafferty, did that guy you ran over on his bike with your car when you were drunk. I never hears if you killed him or not. Please let us know it seems to be a hidden news story.

The only thing that is clear is where Cafferty stands on the election. Because of this his comments are always predictable and boring.

Media’s boyfriend? …
Media’s boyfriend? That is laughable. According to studies McCain has gone untouched. Obama got more negative publicity that any candidate running in either primary. That is fact. McCain has been the media darling for years and they have laid off his numerous scandals. He sucks up to the media and is a hot head when someone disagrees with him. He either scares them or woos them. Most news media is owned by Conservatives including radio by 50 to 1. Tell lies to someone else. Maybe Free Republic.

Measured against current law and against the promises of his fellow Democrats, Obama would rack up huge deficits. According to a recent analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Obama’s tax plan would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, including interest, by 2018.

I wonder if Cafferty will go after the media’s boyfriend ‘bama on his oil flip flops? Probably not since they are all in the tank for him.

Yeah, I really don’t think that the McCain of 2004 would endorse or even support the McCain of 2008. It’s just two totally different guys.

You’re not thinking …
You’re not thinking of the way in which the GOP is stealing elections now. They’re obviously quite good at it looking back at the last two presidential elections. And now we have mass use of the Diebold voting machines which are easily hacked, leave no paper trail, and are Republican affiliated. I wish for us all that you are right however, and time will tell…

It’s a very simple philosophy. Say everything, and then when people want to know what you think of something, find the appropriate soundbyte! If enough people say ‘Oh, McCain agrees with me!’, they’ll vote for him, and he’ll win.
Or if he says the right things to certain people, they’ll give him money!

Sounds like many Americans are going to be quite surprised when McCain is their next President…
We cannot underestimate the GOP’s ability to steal an election, (and the media’s ability to spin it). This November, when McCain’s successfully stolen the Presidency, the media will start going on about how racist America is and how they need to take a hard look at that problem. Meanwhile it’ll be business as usual in the White House for another four years.
