McCain flips flop to get elected.
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 12:40 AM by L. Coyote

But McCain lived in Phoenix, outside the boundaries of what was then the 1st Congressional District. So wife Cindy went to work.

As Timberg states in his book, "John McCain: An American Odyssey," on the very day of Rhodes' news conference announcing his retirement, Cindy bought the Lamplighter house. ..........

7. He's a desperate man.. flip-flopping however, is nothing new to McMoneyBags.
the only reason Mccain/feingold passed was to get his ass out of hot-water after he got caught with his hand in Keating's cookie jar!!

no one is buying, McCain.. you LOSER!
