Flip-flop is a mild word to describe McCain's position on issues. After being a lead sponsor of Amnesty legislation, he now pretends to support law enforcement efforts to stop the illegal alien invasion.
Before that, McCain was a key figure in persuading Congress to abandon Missing in Action POWs left in VietNam. He has also supported the official government cover-up of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. One could go on.
Similarly, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), is now challenging Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in the Republican Senate primary. Mr. Hayworth, too, was tarred by the Abramoff scandal, receiving more than $100,000 in Abramoff-related donations and repeatedly using Mr. Abramoff's skyboxes to hold fundraisers without reporting the costs to the Federal Election Commission. In addition, Mr. Hayworth's wife served as the sole employee of his PAC and he paid her over 25% of money taken in, while also paying someone else for bookkeeping and fundraising.
