Christ, just shows how rarely he gets called on it. He can just deny that it ever happened instead of at least repeating a robotic response about what made him change his mind, etc. "Actually, I didn't. Actually, no". Kudos to the
Kansas City Star for at least MENTIONING McCain's own flip flops.

McCain insisted that Obama’s “voting record … is more to the left than the announced socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont.” When reporter Dave Helling asked if McCain believes Obama is a socialist, McCain said, “Oh I don’t know,” as if it were a distinct possibility.
And that, oddly enough, was just the tip of the iceberg.
McCain, bordering on delusion, then accused Obama of reversing course on comprehensive immigration reform, which is hysterical, given that McCain reversed course on comprehensive immigration reform and Obama didn’t. But more importantly, it led to this fascinating exchange:
Q: But you flip-flop a little bit too.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
Q: You flip-flop on drilling, on tax cuts…
McCain: Actually, I didn’t. Actually, on the drilling issue, when gasoline reached $4 a gallon, we’ve got to do things that we otherwise haven’t done in the past. I have not changed my mind on any other issue. On immigration, I said we need comprehensive immigration reform, it failed twice, so we’ve got to do what’s going to succeed.
Q: But you were against the tax cuts, now you’re talking about making them permanent. Isn’t there flip-flopping on both sides?
McCain: Actually, no.
