McCain Supports Waterboarding. A Maverick No More.

Posted on February 13, 2008 
Filed Under GOP Primary, John McCain

Talk about hypocrisy.  Republican nominee in waiting, John McCain  had a golden opportunity today to illustrate how he values principal over ideology, and his willingness to thumb his nose at the Republican establishment to do what he knew was right.  He failed.

McCain voted against an intelligence bill that would have banned waterboarding.   Wow.  What happened to McCain’s own time in a Vietnamese prison camp?  Does that experience get sold out in order to buy the conservative vote this November?

The Maverick, folks, is nothing but fiction.

    I guess the “straight talk express” has lost more than just its wheels. There are some flips in politics than one can almost understand. This is categorically not one of them.
