Forman: Yesterday McCain had the audacity to tell the Washington Post that ‘I don’t switch positions’, when he has a history of flip-flopping on important issues, ranging from immigration and tax cuts to Hamas and the religious right.

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) released a fact sheet to set the record straight on McCain’s history of flip-flops following McCain’s recent statement, “I take a stand on principle, and I don’t switch positions depending on what audience or time it is in the electoral calendar” (Washington Post, 7/2/08).
“Senator McCain claims to be ‘Mr. Straight Talk’ and has taken a holier than thou attitude throughout this campaign,” said Ira Forman, Executive Director of NJDC. “Yesterday McCain had the audacity to tell the Washington Post that ‘I don’t switch positions’ when he has a history of flip-flopping on important issues, ranging from immigration and tax cuts to Hamas and the religious right. The gall of McCain’s ‘straight talk’ is breathtaking and these flip-flops ought to finally put the myth of McCain’s maverick moderate image to rest.”
