Re: US Marine on McCain "John just isn't the same as he used to be. He's not his own




John McCain began changing his stripes last year when he decided to run for president, well before he was "steering the party." 


To further demonstrate how he has changed...McCain has voted in line with Bush 100% of the time so far this year, 95% of the time in 2007. This after only supporting Bush 77% of the time in 2005 and 67% in 2001.


He has flip flopped on so many issues it's impossible to keep track. One thing the flips all have in common, from the Bush tax cuts to Roe v Wade, an attempt to make McCain more palatable to the Republican base.


Many vets don't like to see this in one of their own. Of particular interest, of the 14 vets that were interviewed for the article cited in the OP only one said he was a certain McCain voter.
