McCain has been in Congress for more than a quarter-century;
he bound to shift now and then on various controversies.
But therein lies the point McCain was consistent on most of
these issues, right up until he started running for
president, at which point he conveniently abandoned literally
dozens of positions he used to hold. The problem isn just
the incessant flip-flops though that part of it it
more about the shameless pandering and hollow convictions
behind the incessant flip-flops. That the media still
perceives McCain as some kind of traight talkerwho
refuses to sway with the political winds makes this all the
more glaring.
Here the list.

How could it have been obvious, it's not even true,
You mistake information for facts.
