Is John McCain Stupid?

Is John McCain losing it?

On Sunday, he said on national television that to solve Social Security "everything's on the table," which of course means raising payroll taxes. On July 7 in Denver he said: "Senator Obama will raise your taxes. I won't."

This isn't a flip-flop. It's a sex-change operation.

There's a part of me that wonders if McCain truly wants to be president because he has a habit of taking one step forward and two steps back. Still hard to believe he's the GOP nominee because he makes Bob Dole look young and energetic.
