Ferd, just for you I am going to look up the clips I have seen of McCain flip flopping on issues. Keep in mind that I am working right now, so it will be around another hour and half before I can look them up. When I find them, I will post them in this thread. Fair enough?
well, I cant access youtube from work and dont have much chance to be on the computer at home.... but have at it.
I would settle for a quick list of things he has flip flopped on.

I correctly stated it was the national anthem rather than the pledge, real patriots salute the flag during the national anthem.
When the national anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the first note and hold the salute through the last note. The salute is directed to the flag, if displayed, otherwise to the music.
Seems to me every American ought to be aware of this especially if he plans on running for president.
Below is from your link.
A chain e-mail says a photograph shows Barack Obama is unpatriotic because he "refused" to say the Pledge of Allegiance and did not put his hand over his heart. But the photo was taken during the national anthem, not the Pledge.
And yes Mrs. Obama did try to spin her comments after the uproar.
I don't salute the flag, say the pledge, or sing that dumb song. Guess that makes me evil, huh?

again, that is certainly a form of partiotism I am not really fond of...
and you make a GREAT point... yet another reason to not vote for B. H. Obama. He advocates bombing allies. That's something not even Jimmy Carter would do!
But very recently we did indeed attack Pakistan because anti-Afghan forces attacked us and fled into Pakistan. 11 Pakistani soldiers were killed. We carried out this operation without the approval of the Pakistani govt, our ally. Truth be told, there are al quaeda targets in Pakistan and they sould be addressed militarily, by them or us. Obama is willing to do that.

It's kind of like the group that yell "racism" in every situation. Eventually nobody takes them seriously about anything.
You made a key statement earlier in jest when you said "and since I don't like him anyway". You have clearly made your mind up and this was never an issue for you no matter who the Democrat was. My point is that there are millions of people out there who are actually looking for info to make a decision. When they run into bold, extreme statements that get them alarmed, but then dig deeper and see that there was nothing to it, it will turn them off. That is what is happening with a lot of young and undecided people. I have been saying from day one that turning mole hills into mountains are detremental because nobody will be talking about the actual mountains....or when you do talk about the mountains, noone will care to listen.
Well, I am so patriotic that it offends me he would do this. I wouldn't like it no matter who was running.
I watched him being groomed for this position a very long time ago, and if anyone here remembers -- I posted that on NFCF. I have been watching him since and drew my conclusions then.
The racist thing is coming more from them than anyone, IMO.
Here we are as a country being moved by his oratory skills and he has nothing of substance and change to offer. I am amazed. Well, not really. Our Hollywood generation prepared the way for him.
I correctly stated it was the national anthem rather than the pledge, real patriots salute the flag during the national anthem.
You were correct, but how many times have you seen civilian folks at games or in public places that have not placed their hand over their heart during the national anthem?
This, to me, does not prove that he is unpatriotic.

there is a bit of a difference between continued pursuit of an enemy into Pakistan and and a cross boarder raid.
there is also quite a bit of a difference between doing something that needs to be done, and bringing public attention to such an act. what obama did was stupid. even if the president feels the need to take such an action, you NEVER make public comment beforehand!
it was unwise and unnessary and further proof that Obama should not be president.

They do not want to change the seal.
I am just confused by all of the hyperbole and sidetracks. It weakens the arguments against him when people think that mountains are made out of molehills. I would rather hear about the real mountains
Thank you for stating the facts. Unfortunately, people seem to overlook the obvious in order to support their argument that Obama is evil!
