McCain Flip-Flops

***********************EXCERPT**************************
LENN: I got a ton of e-mails this weekend and basically they all resemble this one. So let me read it: Glenn, heard you talking about John McCain flip-flopping. That is the last thing I feel from John McCain. I don't agree with him on everything but he seems like he will stand by his opinion even when they're unpopular. Can you back that up? Darren in Seattle.
Yes, Darren, I can. Let's first start with what you said. You are right. Sometimes John McCain will stand by issues even when they're very unpopular. He stood by the surge when it was unpopular and he was right. He was one of the main spokesmen for it when the media was absolutely hammering him and he deserves the credit that is due him on the surge. He was right on the surge, but he also has an affinity for standing by things like global treaties, bloated legislation to fight global warming even when it's not exactly, you know, popular among Republicans. You know, the same way he should get credit for the war, you should give him the same amount of credit for wanting to spend as much as $1.2 trillion a year by 2050 on something that can't possibly affect temperatures by a measurable amount. That's not me saying that. That is -- I mean, even if the global warming theorists are 100% right, look it up. 1.2 trillion a year and it doesn't work. And just remember that when he's telling you that he's a fiscal conservative.
But let's look at a few of the flip-flops. Not even mentioning that he led the charge on amnesty on the border. If you really believe that he's -- "oh, I've listened to the American people now." If you really, truly believe he will say that after he's elected, a guy who led the charge and called you a racist if you were against it, if you believe him now, you know, good for you. I don't know how you do that.
But okay, his flip-flops. Besides the border, the Bush tax cuts. Do you believe that taxes grow the economy -- cutting taxes grow the economy or don't grow the economy? If you don't believe in tax cuts growing the economy, well, then you're cool with John McCain because he agrees with you. He voted against the tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. He was only one of two Republicans to do so. That's bad enough. But we had Senator Rick Santorum on Friday. Listen to part of what Rick Santorum had to say when I asked him about John McCain.
SENATOR SANTORUM: I have real problems is that on almost every major domestic policy issue that I dealt with over the last six years anyway when I was in leadership of the Senate, John McCain was not just on the other side. There were people on the other side. Linc Chafee was on the other side. In many cases, not all for sure but many cases Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe were on the other side. But there's a difference between being on the other side and adopting the rhetoric of the other side and condemning people who hold the position opposite to you and sort of buying in to these fallacious arguments that the left would argue on and everything from reimportation, or should I say importation of drugs to global warming to immigration. Go on down the list, of a long list, unfortunately long list of issues where he has just not only been wrong but he has joined the other side in assailing the foundational principles of, I think, conservatism and dealing with these issues which is to do so in a limited way with smaller government, and he has opted for the other course.
See #38....This guy is more dangerous than Rudy!!!
McLame's wife is a real piece of work in that regard.
Thanks for the tidbit.
report this morning that the McCain campaign has hired notorious open-borders activist Dr. Juan Hernandez as his Director of Hispanic Outreach. He apparently joined McCains staff quietly last November.
**********************************
Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institutes Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative. Dr. Hernandez formerly served as a cabinet member to President Vicente Fox as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad. He is the first American to serve Mexicos government at this level.
He left his cabinet position to create The Organization for Hispanic Advancement, (HispanA, a non-profit 501c3). Dr. Hernándezs recent book, The New American Pioneers, is an authoritative, in depth look at the complex issues related to Mexican immigration.
Dr. Hernandez, a Texas native, is also the founder of the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. In addition, he is a leading figure in the Latino evangelical community and partners frequently with We Care America to address the humanitarian and faith-based issues involved in the debate over immigration reform.
Dr. Hernandezs analysis and commentary has been featured on National Public Radio, ABC, CNN, FOX News, MSNBC and Univisión, as well as on various state and local radio and television programs and in state newspapers nationwide. Dr. Hernandez has also been profiled in various magazines including Fortune; Latino Perspectives; Latin Trade, where he was named Humanitarian Man of 2001; and Hispanic Business, which classified Dr. Hernandez as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the United States.
He completed his undergraduate studies at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin and received his masters and Ph.D. degree at Texas Christian University.
The last one is Clinton secretary Betty Currie when testifying before Congress.
