McCain Now Silent On Guns, After Relishing Fights With NRA

I have lost count on how many flip flops this hypocrite has done and we are still 6 months away.

Less than one month ago, Mayors Against Illegal Gun Violence released a television advertisement encouraging Congress to close the 'gun show loophole,' which allows individuals to purchase firearms at gun shows without a criminal background check.

The spot centered on the pledges made, at one point or another, by each remaining presidential candidates to shut the loophole down. "So with all the talk of bipartisanship, why can't they work together now to pass it?" asks New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The answer may be that one of those presidential candidates has distanced himself from his prior advocacy on the issue.

In 2000, Sen. John McCain appeared in a series of television commercials promoting ballot initiatives in Colorado and Oregon that would require people to undergo criminal background checks if they hoped to buy firearms at gun shows. These clips made their way into the recent Mayors Against Illegal Gun Violence commercial. And in the period that followed, the Arizona Republican repeatedly sponsored legislation that pursued such an end.

Recently, however, McCain has walked his advocacy back, declining to cosponsor the very legislation closing the gun show loophole that he once actively championed.

But they saved the best part for last:

But for former McCain colleagues in the gun show loophole fight, it is hard not to notice how quiet on the issue he has actually become.

"It is not really expedient for his political career right now," said Kessler. "It is a confluence of interests coming together... If a vote on the measure came up today, I'm not sure he would actually show up."

This guy must be senile if he really believes that he can make the country believe all his hypocritical flip flops. If John McCain gets elected he will continue Bush's FAILED policies AND he will be the BIGGEST HYPOCRITE to EVER be in the WH. What a nightmare that will be!

McCain Iraq, Iran Policies Make Him Favored Candidate to Saudis

John McCain, who is trying to strike a distance from the policies of President George W. Bush, accuses Saudi Arabia of sponsoring insurgents in Iraq and condemns it for human-rights violations, including imprisoning people whose ``only crime is to worship God in their own way.''

That should make the prospect of a McCain presidency a nightmare for the Saudi rulers, who have enjoyed close ties to the Bush family. Instead, Saudis are privately rooting for the presumptive Republican nominee, discounting some of his rhetoric because he's the only candidate to promise to keep U.S. troops in Iraq and to deter Iran.

``The royal family and other elites would like to see McCain,'' Mai Yamani, a visiting scholar with the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, said yesterday in a telephone interview from London.

So I guess we know where all the Saudi money is going to go this election cycle.

Guess the Saudis don't want McCain enough to increase oil production or lower gas prices.

I'm sure they like McCain because of private assurances made to them by DICK CHENEY, KARL ROVE, CONDOLEEZA RICE AND GW BUSH!

The LAST THING I want to see is ISLAM DECIDING OUR PRESIDENCY! That's worse than the crazy neo-con religious Bushies deciding our fate!
