There is a big difference between flip-flopping for votes and changing your mind on an issue when more relevent facts surface.

B. Hussein Obama ran his Democratic campaign as a far leftist but is now moving toward the center at breakneck speeds for the general election and all just to gain votes. McCain has always been close to the center.

How about teaching YOUR kids to speak spanish rather than have the immigrants learn to speak English? Say what? That is what NObama is saying now. I'm speeechless!

Odd nothing specific was noted here.  How about McCain on flip-flopping?

 

Let’s return, once again, to McCain’s flourishing flip-flop list, which is now a Top 11 list.

* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)

* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.

* McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.

* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.

* McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.

* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

* And now he’s both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.

Davisjoe. My post was merely my opinion. All of your "sources" are merely someone else's opinion, no doubt adopted as your own.

Wrong on both counts.  Your "opinion" means nothing without an example.  Changing one's mind isn't bad.  Nor is clarifying.  Both Obama and McCain are concerned about votes and both are revising their views accordingly.  This is normal during an election and something we see on all sides.  Your "opinion" merely jabs without thought or context, which makes it hard to discuss or examine.  My source merely points out that McCain also adjusts, and does so for votes.  Wink
