John McCain continues to destroy his reputation, this time by trotting out his indefensable hypocrisy.

In 2000, Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, said the advertisements run against him by George W. Bush, then the governor of Texas, distorted his record. But he has hired three members of the team that made those commercials — Mark McKinnon, Russell Schriefer and Stuart Stevens — to work on his presidential campaign.

In 2004, Mr. McCain said the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement asserting that Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts had not properly earned his medals from the Vietnam War was “dishonest and dishonorable.” Nonetheless, he has hired the firm that made the spots, Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm, which worked on his 2000 campaign, to work for him again this year.

John McCain could once lay claim to being a man of principle, and that was only a scant six or seven years ago. But today John McCain is a joke.

He is not a maverick. He is not a true conservative. And he is not a man of his word.

He is clearly a man who will do anything to get to the White House. And anybody who will completely misrepresent himself to become President, should never be allowed to become the President.

We have seen what happens when a man without a moral compass occupies that lofty position, and we must never allow it to happen again!
