Jukebox John does it again!

Steve Benen, who labors on several prominent blogs, cleverly suggests that the nickname Mr. Straight Talk, with which fawning reporters have tagged John McCain, is far less appropriate than Jukebox John, a guy who changes his tune every few minutes.
The latest evidence supporting the jukebox pseudonym arises from McCain’s awkward FLIP-FLOP on the issue of gay adoptions, which has miffed the Religious Right.
But then, this is hardly the first time that McCain has dramatically flipped on gay issues, as we see here:

I think you meant adoptions…

Oops! Thanks for the catch, Milton. I fixed it.

Because “Gay Issues” are an important issue facing America.
How come the Gay population aren’t kicking down the door to get into the military, now? These days, it is a non issue. And, they’d probably take them, now.

Because it’s dangerous right now. The outcry for “Gay” enlistment always falls during time of active conflict and war. They don’t want to fight, they just want to make the issue and serve during peacetime only.
I won’t be suprised to see our current congress pass a bill with extra incentives (not available to anyone but homosexual enlistees) with additional cash bonuses, and a “disintegration of contract” clause for them to “walk away” from service anytime it gets too “stressful”.
I wouldn’t put it past this congress, who’s approval is what, nowadays? This is the worst that I can ever remember it………….
And, to blame it all on President Bush is a little bit misleading. What’s congress’ role?
