John McCain- ultimate flip-flopper

“I think I’d just commit suicide. I don’t want to face that eventuality because I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

John McCain, Oct. 18, 2006, when asked what he would do if the Democrats seized control of the U.S. Senate.

UPDATE:

Not long afterwards, John McCain was actually complaining about the very thing he actually practices:

“Hypocrisy, my friends, is the most obvious of political sins — and the people will punish it. We were elected to reduce the size of government and enlarge the sphere of free and private initiative. We increased the size of government in the false hope that we could bribe the public into keeping us in office. We lost our principles and our majority. And there is no way to recover our majority without recovering our principles first.”

John McCain on November 16, 2006, as quoted by New York Times.

Not only did he lie about his suicide, but he is also one of the key supporters of the largest government in the history of the United States.

In the meantime, Ezra Klein, The National Ledger, Democratic Underground, Shakespeare’s Sister, The Stranger (Seattle newspaper), TalkLeft, Digg, The Key Monk, DownWithTyranny and The Progressive have all noted the McCain Suicide Watch to see if McCain will actually be a man that holds true to his own words.
