Hypocrisy

The hypocrisy

Below are a few excerpts from a letter ran in the Des Moines Register (the whole letter reads better than just these bits). To see the whole letter, go to http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080916/OPI...

Self Serving Reformist?

It seems that the very thing that McCain has the greatest control over, - the tone, tenure and content of his campaign - is the the area he has no interest in reforming the Republican's ways even though the general public is sick and tired of distortions, fabrications, innuendo and down right lies.

Daily Show Style Clip Montages of McCain Flip-Flopping

Take the 'flip-flopping' issue that became so huge last election and use it against the Republicans. Media clip montages showing a clear reversal on many of the issues his campaign lauds him for.
