Hasn't McCain flip-flopped all over the place?

Hasn't Sarah at least been consistent in her ignorant statements? :shrug:

1. If you go by their logic
Then Palin is more qualified then all candidates running for President/VP because of her "Executive Experience."

It's bullshit and I wish just one reporter would ask about that during one of her interviews.

2. Perhaps, but McCain knows not to push the big red button just to see what would happen.
Therefore, he's more qualified.

4. Hasn't McCain Pushed the Big "Red" Mini-Button Many Times...
...in an effort to have access to the big red one?

3. Not To Mention He Did Pick Her
I'd say they are equally unfit.

10. Let's be real...
McCain used to be a great statesman; he used to buck the neocon orthodoxy at every turn.

He's now allowed himself to be reduced to be the kind of perp that undermined his own 2,000 run.

This understood - at least Palin is consistent in her neoconism. Isn't McCain's stark embrace of his previous enemy proof that he's even less qualified to lead than Palin?

:shrug:

7. She was very possibly brought in to just be a real life example
of someone less fit to assume than McGollum himself.

11. Nah...
...She was Rove's choice for McCain & McCain didn't have the balls to assert himself.

12. I suggest any and everyone read the Oct. 16 Rolling Stone article:
"Make-Believe Maverick". It's comprehensive and measured against my own extensive (but unofficial) research - extremely accurate.

I suggest reading it particularly if you're still undecided - or relying on McCain's military background as your basis for viewing him as the stronger choice.
