This list is soooooooo long that I am forced to publish an umpteen volume series (is umpteen really a word, well anyway, what I am trying to say is that there are a whole lot of them, flip-flops that is). Here is the first “flip-flop.” I suppose you could substitute the word “lie” for “flip-flop.” This is the part where John McCain cannot make up his mind about Roe vs. Wade. I guess it depends on where he is campaigning.
In 1999, McCain was in New Hampshire, campaigning for the GOP nomination as a moderate. He proclaimed himself a pro-life candidate, but told reporters that “in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade.” He explained that overturning Roe would force “women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.” Yesterday, campaigning for the GOP nomination as a conservative, McCain said the opposite.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask one question about abortion. Then I want to turn to Iraq. You’re for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, with some exceptions for life and rape and incest.
MCCAIN: Rape, incest and the life of the mother. Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So is President Bush, yet that hasn’t advanced in the six years he’s been in office. What are you going to do to advance a constitutional amendment that President Bush hasn’t done?
MCCAIN: I don’t think a constitutional amendment is probably going to take place, but I do believe that it’s very likely or possible that the Supreme Court should — could overturn Roe v. Wade, which would then return these decisions to the states, which I support…. Just as I believe that the issue of gay marriage should be decided by the states, so do I believe that we would be better off by having Roe v. Wade return to the states.
The old McCain didn’t want an amendment and didn’t want Roe overturned. The new McCain completely disagrees with the old McCain.
It is much more powerful when you have actual quotes of the flip-flops (substitute the word “lies” freely here). I’m not sure which McCain I like: the old McCain or the new and improved McCain. Anyway, I’m not voting for either McCain. But I will say if you listen to him long enough, you are bound to agree with something he says. For a list of flip-flops, click here.

Despite having such a thin and short-lived resume, Obama is far from flip-flop free. A consideration of flip-flops over the period the records overlap would be most illuminating.
MC-CAIN’S LAST DATE WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
McCain’s ideological support comes from Podhoretz Neo-Cons and Leiberman Neo-Libs, not Reagan Conservatives nor Kennedy Liberals. These supporters have the same Neo-Marxist roots, which go back nearly 60 years, when millions of defeated Marxist immigrants from Nazi German and the Soviet Union were admitted by America, as desperate persecuted refugees; after all of the European nations refused to take them.
By the McCarthy Era, many of these pathetic refugees had gotten good government positions; and, by way of showing their deep gratitude to the American People, they systematically corrupted the government and endangered national security, by working as spies for Marxist Russia. The most notorious of these spies, the Rosenbergs, were executed for treason. This had the intended beneficial effect of stopping most of the dangerous spying; but it had the unintended consequence of causing these Marxist refugees to seek social and economic power by pretentiously assimilating into the Conservative Republican and Liberal Democrat parties; where they quickly mutated into the Neo-Conservatives and Neo-Liberals, with insidious ideological opposition to traditional Christian culture and Constitutional principles. The result of the subversive influence by these virulent Crypto-Neo-Marxists in the government, schools, news media and entertainment media was the increasingly intolerably pernicious cultural degeneration that has led up to the American Cultural War.
Podhoretz Neo-Con and Leiberman Neo-Lib ideology subversively instills contempt for patriotism, defensive war, historical accuracy, Christian culture, Constitutional rights and duties, United Nations resolutions, Conservative Republicans and Liberal Democrats.
All of this contempt is transparently motivated by a dogmatic belief in gaining an advantage by insubordination to the practices of national religious and governmental traditions, which grant the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These Crypto -Neomarxists, like their Marxists predecessors, imagine that they can somehow create their new superior civilization, if they first destroy the traditional allegiance to the nuclear family, Christianity, nationalism, and the Constitution.
Israel, which these Marxists refugees have had all to themselves, to do their utopian social engineering, in their own artificially created state, is notoriously poorly governed and heavily subsidized by the Diaspora; and the People of Israel, once the most widely pitied in the World, have come to justly earn the distinction of now being the most universally despised, condemned, and threatened with annihilation.
In this crucial 2008 presidential battle of the American Cultural War shall the Reagan Conservatives and the Kennedy Liberals finally combine forces against these desperately united Podhoretz Neo-Cons and Leiberman Neo-Libs; or shall they continue to suffer ideological corruption of their Republican and Democrat parties, subversion of their traditional Christian culture and Constitutional rule, pernicious governmental strife, and the un-patriotic sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People to sole benefit of Israel?
With Leiberman Neo-Lib Princess Hillary finally burnt at stake by the Kennedy Liberal Democratic Party, shall Podhoretz Neo-Con McCain have his final date for the presidency, or for the Reagan Conservative Republican firing squad?

What we need is a simple list of the lies of John McCain, such as the e-mail of the 50 lies of Barack Obama. I am sure McCain has more than 50, should be a relatively simple tast.
