This column at the L.A. Times has to be taken with a grain of salt, but…, when treated like that, it’s a good, entertaining read.
The sad reality is that John McCain seems to have surrendered to the establishment. The establishment he once criticized and even downright attacked. He’s trying to appeal to ‘Christian Right’, the same Christian Right whose influence he once opposed.
John McCain has abandoned his principles. Some argue, now, that he never had them in the first place. I don’t agree with that. I think that he did have principles, that he believed in them, but that his (potential) power blinded them.
In essence it’s one of the great political tragedies of the last 2 decades.
