McCain Claims He Hasn't Flipped on Anything from 2000

John McCain told the local CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C. that "I'm the same guy" from 2000, claiming that he hasn't flipped on any issue since his last run for the presidency.

MCCAIN: You’ll have to tell me what’s changed. I love it when they say, “Oh McCain has changed.” And I say, “What have I changed on?” They can’t name a single issue or they’ll name an issue and its false. I’m the same guy. I’m proud of our campaign.

It is not exactly a winning message but the interview presented itself with a rather easy challenge: name McCain's flip-flops.

Think Progress identified 44 of them.

Let's see: there's Bush's tax cuts, for starters. Then there's the economy in general, financial system regulation, abortion, and associating with "Evangelicals".

What I don't get is the significance of pride for Republicans. Why do they need to be proud of everything?

Whatever happened to "pride goeth before a fall"?

What's being denied? Shame?

McCain has flipped so much he has flopped. A lot of people have already stopped listening to him. The wave has started and Obama-Biden will be in the white house! All we have to do is keep going to the finish and don`t let up.
