The Definitive And Up-To-Date McCain Flip Flop List (!)
Steve Benen at Carpetbagger Report has been accumulating a list of McCain flip flops. He's now up to 62 cases of policy reversals by Senator McCain. A couple examples: National Security Policy 1. McCain thought Bush ’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite. Article has links verifying each flip-flop:

4. Thanks.
You are right. Even though disappointed in aspects of our Candidates, and Reps. and Sen., I still believe the Democrats need to win, instead of the Republicans. I truly wish the Democratic Party had as part of its platform, the increase in Democracy and Oversight. The Dems. that voted Yes on the FISA Immunity did us wrong. I like some of those Senators. I wish they would have voted Nay!

Thanks for being out here, thank for the e-mail.

26. It's more popular to rant right now, or attack people for ranting. Like I've said before..
I'm fine with that, because I like to rant too, it feels good to vent.

But *in addition* to venting I think we need to try and ensure a Dem victory this November. Not because the Dems are perfect (that's a laugh) but because we KNOW the alternative is worse. Besides, I'd much rather donate to Act Blue than Nader or Barr.

37. Too bad Obama has now immunized McSame against flip-flopping charges
This list just went from offense to defense.

Democrats never fucking learn.

46. McCain has reversed himself on his major issues to be acceptable to the GOP overlords.

49. I'm just joking. You know how some of
us people who were less than thrilled that Obama switched his stance on FISA have been occasionally treated as suspect.
