THE FLIP/FLOP WORLD SERIES -- PART 5 OF 10

Here are some more Flip/Flops for McSAME.

Economic Policy

31. McCain was against Bush's tax cuts for the very wealthy before he was for them.

32. John McCain initially argued that economics is not an area of expertise for him, saying, "I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues; I still need to be educated," and "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." He now falsely denies ever having made these remarks and insists that he has a "very strong" understanding of economics.

33. McCain vowed, if elected, to balance the federal budget by the end of his first term. Soon after, he decided he would no longer even try to reach that goal. And soon after that, McCain abandoned his second position and went back to his first.

34. McCain said in 2005 that he opposed the tax cuts because they were "too tilted to the wealthy." By 2007, he denied ever having said this, and falsely argued that he opposed the cuts because of increased government spending.

35. McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.

36. McCain pledged in February 2008 that he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Specifically, McCain was asked if he is a "'read my lips' candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?" referring to George H.W. Bush's 1988 pledge. "No new taxes," McCain responded. Two weeks later, McCain said, "I'm not making a 'read my lips' statement, in that I will not raise taxes."

37. McCain has changed his entire economic worldview on multiple occasions.

38. McCain believes Americans are both better and worse off economically than they were before Bush took office.

I HAVE NEVER KNOWINGLY. . .

In 2007, agents searched the Girdwood, Alaska, house of Senator Ted Stevens, now accused of trying to conceal $250,000 in gifts, including home renovations, from an oil services company.

A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia charged Mr. Stevens, who is 84 and the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, with failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts, including extensive renovations to his house in Alaska, a Land Rover and home furnishings on financial disclosure forms that he filed from 1999 to 2006.

Mr. Stevens declared his innocence and his intention to fight the charges against him in a statement posted on his Web site. "I am innocent of these charges and intend to prove that," he said.

THE FLIP/FLOP WORLD SERIES -- PART 4 OF 10

Here are some more Flip/Flops for McSAME.

Domestic Policy

19. McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

20. McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn't.

21. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.

22. He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party's policy making. Now he believes the opposite.

23. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won't commit to supporting a regulation bill he's co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris' former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.

24. McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.

25. McCain's first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn't be "rewarded" for acting "irresponsibly." His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.

26. McCain went from saying gay marriage should be allowed, to saying gay marriage shouldn't be allowed.

27. McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.

28. McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he's pro-ethanol.

29. McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

30. In 2005, McCain endorsed intelligent design creationism, a year later he said the opposite, and a few months after that, he was both for and against creationism at the same time.

JOHN MCSAME LOVE HIS SURGE

John McCain seems caught in a TIME WORP. He thinks the Iraq war started and ended (?) with the surge. Ever since Barack went over seas that's all McSame has talked about, how right he was and how wrong Obama was. But don't you find it funny that he never talks about just how wrong he was going into this War in the first place.

When he accused Obama of wanting to win an election even if it meant losing a war is one of the most boneheaded remarks I have ever heard of. But even before that intemperate charge, he said something equally damning: "The fact is, if we had done what Sen. Obama wanted to do, we would have lost."

As I said McCain starts the historical clock running after the invasion and even after the surge. For all his complaints about the media, he's been able to focus the Iraq debate on the surge's success. He repeatedly has said, "I'm proud that I was right. That's what judgment is about. That's why I'm qualified to lead."

But what if "we had done what Obama wanted to do" in 2002, when he was a lowly state senator and an opponent of invasion? We wouldn't have roared into this disaster. What if we dated judgment to the prewar days? Is McCain still proud that he was right?

We cannot rewind the past. But it's still fair to measure a candidate by his view on our entrance to this war.

The current president never has admitted that we invaded Iraq on false premises or phony pre-emptives or fictitious weapons of mass destruction. Bush will breeze home to Texas without a modicum of guilt. Do we want another president like that?

BUSH'S BRAIN -- AN EMPTY CHAIR

Picking up right were I left off last week. The RIGHT-WING is going nuts over Barack Obama's trip overseas, especially John McSame.

He has been running these ATTACK ADS like crazy.

Let's just start listing them as they come up.

What is really outrageous is John McCain himself and his saying that Barack would rather lose a war than a campaign.

Then he said Barack would rather play basketball than visit wounded troops.

McSame also said that it was Obama's fault for the high cost of Gas.

Let's see it rained here late yesterday afternoon. . . guess that was Barack's fault too.

THE FLIP/FLOP WORLD SERIES -- PART 3 OF 10

Here are some more Flip/Flops for McSAME.

Military Policy

14. McCain recently claimed that he was the "greatest critic" of Rumsfeld's failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as "a mission accomplished." In March 2004, he said, "I'm confident we're on the right course." In December 2005, he said, "Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course."

15. McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good and a bad idea.

16. McCain said before the war in Iraq, "We will win this conflict. We will win it easily." Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was "probably going to be long and hard and tough."

17. McCain has repeatedly said it's a dangerous mistake to tell the "enemy" when U.S. troops would be out of Iraq. In May, McCain announced that most American troops would be home from Iraq by 2013.

18. McCain was against expanding the GI Bill before he was for it.

BILL MOYERS ON TORTURE 1 OF 10

BILL MOYERS JOURNAL goes inside last week's hearings on torture in Congress and gets perspective from journalist Jane Mayer on the debate over whether the U.S. sanctioned torture to prosecute the war on terror. Mayer's recent book, THE DARK SIDE: THE INSIDE STORY OF HOW THE WAR ON TERROR TURNED INTO A WAR ON AMERICAN IDEALS, documents the war on terror and the struggle over whether the president should have limitless power to wage it.

Jane Mayer is a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER and the coauthor of two bestselling books, LANDSLIDE and STRANGE JUSTICE. Based in Washington, D.C., she writes about politics for the magazine, and has been covering the war on terror. Recent subjects include Alberto Mora and the Pentagon's secret torture policy, how the United States outsources torture (rendition), the prison at Guantñnamo Bay, and the legality of C.I.A. interrogations. She has also written about George W. Bush, the bin Laden family, Karl Rove, and the television show "24."

LION LOVE

In 1969, John Rendall & Ace Berg saw a lion cub for sale in Harrods.

Cramped & lonely in a small cage, they decided to bring it home.

A local vicar allowed them to exercise the cub, now named Christian, in the church grounds but he very quickly became too big for their flat.

The only thing they could do was to try and reintroduce him to Africa, which they managed to do.

A year later they wanted to visit him but were told that he was now the head of his own pride and as such was completely wild and would not remember them.

Undaunted, they went anyway.

After many hours of looking for the pride, this is what happened when they finally found the WILD LION . . .

CAN THEY GET ANY MORE PETTY???

Barack Obama began his speech saying he's an American citizen and a citizen of the world. The McCain camp highlighted that phrase in its dismissal of Obama as did many others on the right.

Turns out John McCain himself has used the phrase "Citizen of the World" in a speech on May 27th of this year at the University of Denver.

There is such a thing as good international citizenship, and America must be a good citizen of the world-leading the way to address the danger of global warming and preserve our environment. . .

Many past Presidents (and the current one, too!) used "citizen of the world" in their remarks. Here's a collection of them. . .

Thomas Paine

Calvin Coolidge

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Harry S. Truman

Dwight D. Eisenhower

John F. Kennedy

THE FLIP/FLOP WORLD SERIES -- PART 2 OF 10

Here are some more Flip/Flops for McSAME.

Foreign Policy

7. McCain was for kicking Russia out of the G8 before he was against it.

8. McCain supported moving "towards normalization of relations" with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.

9. McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.

10. McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.

11. McCain is both for and against a "rogue state rollback" as a focus of his foreign policy vision.

12. McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty's behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.

13. McCain was against divestment from South Africa before he was for it.

In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent?

SO MUCH FOR A CLEAN CAMPAIGN

Joe Klein: John McCain's Comment On Obama Wanting To Lose War "Most Scurrilous" He's Ever Heard.

Appearing on Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, Time Magazine columnist Joe Klein said that John McCain's comments Tuesday that Barack Obama is willing to lose a war to win an election were the most scurrilous he had ever heard by a major party candidate. As I say NOW MCSAME HAS FLIPPED on his own pledge of running a clean campaign.

THE FLIP/FLOP WORLD SERIES -- PART 1 OF 10

'Obama is a flip-flopper'. . . at first blush, the line of attack against Obama seems utterly ridiculous, but the McCain campaign seems to have settled on it anyway, in part because it's the closest available, already-written Republican narrative, and in part because McCain staffers haven't been able to think of anything else.

The irony, of course, is that the McCain campaign couldn't have picked a more hypocritical line of attack. For John McCain to accuse anyone of excessively changing policy positions is a bit like George W. Bush attacking someone's grammar. Or Dick Cheney whining about a political figure being overly secretive.

So with that in mind I'm starting this 10 part series on McCain's little flips.

National Security Policy

1. McCain thought Bush's warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.

2. McCain insisted that everyone, even "terrible killers," "the worst kind of scum of humanity," and detainees at Guantanamo Bay, "deserve to have some adjudication of their cases," even if that means "releasing some of them." McCain now believes the opposite.

3. He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country."

4. In February 2008, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.

5. McCain was for closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay before he was against it.

6. When Barack Obama talked about going after terrorists in Pakistani mountains with predators, McCain criticized him for it. He's since come to the opposite conclusion.

OUT FOXED

NOT THAT BIG OF A DISGRACE I GUESS

Republican presidential candidate John McCain cashes his monthly Social Security checks despite calling the federal program "a disgrace," the Associated Press reports.

"I'm receiving benefits," McCain told campaign reporters, but added, "the system is broken."

In 2007, he received benefits of $23,157 from Social Security, approximately $1,930 a month. The maximum monthly benefit under Social Security is $2,185. Social Security benefits are determined by age at retirement.

McCain, who is 71, has received benefits since he was 65.

Last week, McCain told observers at a town-hall meeting in Portsmouth, Ohio, "Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers ... and that's a disgrace."

B.J. Jarrett from the Social Security Administration said that individuals can refuse retirement benefits.

In 2006, McCain's wife Cindy earned $6 million, and has a net worth of approximately $100 million.

THE MESS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - McSAME

BUSH'S BRAIN -- FOX NOISE NEEDS A SPELL CHECKER

* - - - - - *

Well it looks like I'm headed for a HIP REPLACEMENT. At the rate I'm going I'll be ROBO-MAN having replaced my teeth, use hearing aids, wear glasses, I now have a "PIG" valve in my heart. . . give me a break.

They scheduled me for Sept. 9th but I think I'm going to change that to Jan. 2009.

I need some time to sneak up and this thing plus I have some work to do around my house and yard.

* - - - - - *

The talking points that McSame and his pals uses is just NUTS.

They keep saying that the surge is working and if Obama was the president we would face defeat now.

The problem with that is it's PURE BULLSHIT. . . they ignore the fact that Barack Obama would not have gone to war with Iraq and over 4100 of our troops would still be alive.

* - - - - - *

One more thing on my health issues. I need to lose some weight. . . well lots of weight. That's another reason I need to change the date of my hip replacement operation.

What I plan on doing is to weigh myself first thing each day (M-F) and post it here as a reminder of how I'm doing.

TODAYS BIG NUMBER: 265 (ouch).

CAN THEY GET ANY MORE PETTY???

Night before Obama flies abroad, Rice bars embassies from aiding candidates

'If they want to rent a bus, show them where they can rent a bus'

The night before presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) left for Afghanistan, Iraq and Western Europe for a tour of US bases overseas, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued a cable to US missions forbidding them from holding events for presidential candidates or arrange meetings for them.

Rice issued no such cable prior to foreign excursions by presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

181 DAYS LEFT IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. . . CAN'T BE SOON ENOUGH.

BUSHED

Keith Olbermann has listed the various scandles in the Bush administration. Here are three more.

America absent from trial of Bin Laden's

July 21: Osama bin Laden's chauffeur, Salim Hamdan, was put on trial in Cuba. The jury is comprised of all military officers, the rules of the court give deference to the prosecution, only two-thirds have to vote for conviction and even if he's found not guilty he has to stay in jail. So much for fighting terrorists to preserve America's values and serve as a model to the world. Countdown guest host Rachel Maddow explains more in Bushed!

THE MESS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - McSAME

BUSH'S BRAIN -- AN EMPTY CHAIR

* - - - - - *

I have a doctors appointment today that I'm not looking forward to.

I've been having a problem with my left leg and lower back pain, so my regular Dr. had me get some x-rays which shows some arthritis in my left hip.

He wants me to see a specialist so that's what I'll be doing later on today. More to follow.

Have you watched Lou Dobbs lately? I think he's gone off the deep end. Watch his show sometime and see what you think. I'm sorry to see that because I did like his show but now he goes all crazy about stuff.

I find it kind of fun how the RIGHT can't seem to put Barack Obama in a neat little box. They just don't know how to define him.

Their problem is he's a LEADER not a follower like Bush/McSame.

For example: He says we need to shift attention to Afghanistan. . . Now McSame says the same thing.

He says we need a time line now Bush /McSame says we need a Horizon.

You see it's not about age, experience it's all about good JUDGEMENT.

IT'S NOT A TIMELINE, IT'S A HORIZON

George Bush is a man of his word. . . he will never, ever, ever set a timeline to withdraw troops from Iraq. He will however set a horizon.

President Bush and Iraq's prime minister have agreed to set a "time horizon" for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq as security conditions in the war-ravaged nation continue to improve, White House officials said here Friday.

"In the area of secur
