What is happening with John McCain? Recently when he was asked if Barack Obama is a socialist, he said, “I don’t know.” If Obama is a socialist, that would come as quite a surprise to his many business supporters. But that’s not the only thing McCain seems confused about. When asked recently if insurance companies should cover birth control, as some do for Viagra, McCain hedged with, “It’s something that I had not thought much about." Apparently he forgot that he’d voted against legislation calling for insurance coverage of birth control.
It’s all adding up to a disturbing pattern. Take good care of yourself, Sen. McCain. Because I don’t think you can take care of us.
