The Long Implosion

In nucular (sic) weapons, the longer the implosion, the greater the explosion. The GOPers have been imploding since the American people rejected their ideology last fall and watching McCain campaign, the explosion just might be beginning.

It looks like John the former Straight Talker needs a little while to get his stump speech in order. Right now, he's spinning like a weather vane, pointing in every possible direction to see which way the wind is blowing. His position on gay rights flip-flops faster than bits in an Intel chip, he's now taking out his war frustrations on Donald Rumsfeld (not that Rummy needs any help in the screw-up department), his position on Roe v. Wade is diametrically opposite to his position as candidate McCain in 2000, in short, he's triangulating to the GOPer base.

That's exactly where we want him. McCain is living in the Conservative past, unaware that a new era of politics was ushered in by the 2006 election. His positions were almost universally rejected - even South Dakota rejected their draconian anti-abortion law. For the former Straight Talker to flip-flop this many times makes him vulnerable. He's always been a far-right politician, his lies in an attempt to win the 2000 nomination are now biting him where he's most vulnerable.

In his flip-flops.
