McCain’s Evolving Positions

The Carpetbagger Report has an interesting summary of positions that Senator McCain has adjusted recently.

I don’t have much criticism for a politician altering their positions as information and circumstances change. Sometimes it might be technical issues, or some other contamination, that causes proposed legislation to stray too far from its original intentions. However if the lawmaker is wiggling on the underlying values and philosophy I take much more notice.

One responsibility of us voters is to consider all of these contortions and determine which candidate least strays from the image they are marketing.

It can be hard work.
