The Flip-Flop Express
There have been several points in the John McCain campaign where he’s contradicted himself from day to day. Apparently that wasn’t enough, because Think Progress caught McCain articulating different opinions in the span of less than an hour this morning as he visited various morning talk shows to discuss his position on the economy. The candidate couldn’t quite seem to get a handle on how he really feels about “excessive” government regulation.
On NBC’s Today Show, McCain told Matt Lauer:
Of course I don’t like excessive and unnecessary regu — uh, government regulation.
But on CBS’s Early Show, McCain told Harry Smith:
Do I believe in excess government regulation? Yes. But this patchwork quilt of regulating bodies was designed for the 1930s when they were invented.
