Arizona Republican Senator John McCain tonight will headline a New York City fundraiser for his Straight Talk America PAC. Unfortunately, as McCain has laid the groundwork for a 2008 presidential run, his famous "Straight Talk Express" has morphed into the Double Talk Express. On issues ranging from the Bush tax cuts, to the use of ethanol, to a Constitutional Amendment on marriage, to abortion, Senator McCain has flipped his positions on issue after issue in an effort to pander to the extreme right wing of the Republican Party.

"In light of all of Senator McCain's flip flops and blatant pandering, New Yorkers are wondering which John McCain they'll see tonight," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera. "Will they get the John McCain who opposed President Bush's radical special interest tax cuts or the John McCain who voted for them? The John McCain who said he opposed a federal marriage amendment, or the John McCain who told Jerry Falwell he would support one? The John McCain who derided ethanol or the John McCain who went to Iowa and advocated increased investment in its use?

"With such a dizzying array of directions he could take, New Yorkers better take some Dramamine before jumping on the Double Talk Express."
