The McCain you saw recently does not represent the same man who was seeking his party's nomination. McCain's speeches have even a changed tone because so much of his people are now the wacko extremists of the Republican Party. McCain's speech writer even wrote for him the exact same phrase that George Jr was given to read: "The fundamentals of our economy are sound". Ironically, McCain read that speech as AIG was going down.
Later that afternoon, McCain changed his stump speech (they give the same speech all day long while campaigning). Apparently, even wacko extremists in McCain's campaign suddenly realized that their rhetoric was a lie.
The McCain that was seeking the Republican party nomination would have never given that speech. The McCain today cannot really say what he believes without alienating the Republican right wing fringe (George Jr supporters) that he needs to get elected. So McCain no longer has conviction in his speeches. He is now a compromised candidate.
When McCain was seeking the Republican nomination, the wacko extremists were repeatedly told disparaging things by Rush Limbaugh. Why did Rush Limbaugh reverse his preaching? McCain is the closest thing the right wing has to an extremist running for power. So they put Palin on his ticket.
