John McCain -- 61 Flip-Flops and Counting
In case you have forgotten, McCain is the enemy.

Some instances:
  • McCain was for kicking Russia out of the G8 before he was against it.
  • McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good idea and a bad idea.
  • McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)
  • McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.
  • McCain was against Bush's tax cuts for the very wealthy before he was for them.
  • McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.
  • McCain believes Americans are both better and worse off economically than they were before Bush took office.
  • McCain supported the Lieberman/Warner legislation to combat global warming. Now he doesn't.
  • McCain supported his own lobbying-reform legislation from 1997. Now he doesn't.
  • McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

And my favorite:
  • On immigration policy in general, McCain announced in February 2008 that he would vote against his own bill.
