You're just an apologist for a flip flopper.
For a politician trying to keep his job and get support for a general election is ok....flip flopping isn't bad, it's bad flip floppers that are.


For example John Kerry got all flustered and annoyed with being called a flip flopper and BANG the label stuck to him, McCain has sold his "Straight Talk" and he's done well with it. Also McCain is more of your normal everyday buddy than the democrat's wine snob elites....may not make a difference to you but to Joe Sixpack it's a big difference.

Also the things McCain say are more like "America is already great" vs Obama and Hillary saying "America sucks and I can change it"....people don't want to hear that America sucks and it doesn't....we just have our ups and downs like anyone else, no reason to say we suck or to villianize any LEGAL citizens here
