SENATOR JOHN McC*NT?

I don't quite know what to say about this video-- but I sense it is worth offering... without comment:



Without the active-- and passive-- assistance of the corporate media, no one would even take McCain seriously as a candidate. Not only does he propose to embody a third term for George Bush's failed regime, he flip flops so much on virtually every issue that no one can fathom what he stands for-- beyond war, war and more war-- on any issue. Take the mainstream proposal for a windfall profits tax on oil companies. Last month-- not last year (on May 5)-- he sounded almost rational on the topic: "I don't like obscene profits being made anywhere-- and I'd be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax–that's not what bothers me-- but we should look at any incentives that we are giving to people, that or industries or corporations that are distorting the market."

I guess some of the lobbyists driving the Double Talk Express must have had a talk with him because he sure sounded different today:

"So what does Senator Obama support in energy policy? Well, for starters he supported the energy bill of 2005-- a grab-bag of corporate favors that I opposed. And now he supports new taxes on energy producers. He wants a windfall profits tax on oil, to go along with the new taxes he also plans for coal and natural gas. If the plan sounds familiar, it's because that was President Jimmy Carter's big idea too-- and a lot of good it did us. Now as then, all a windfall profits tax will accomplish is to increase our dependence on foreign oil, and hinder exactly the kind of domestic exploration and production we need."

So where does McCain stand? Who knows? And what difference does it make where he stands since he changes his mind constantly, depending on which company's lobbyist last had his ear?
