The "Straight Talk Express" Is Just Another Politician

While I welcome the fact that Sen. John "F--- You" McCain (R-Ariz) has come around on the immigration issue, it appears that the so-called "Straight Talk Express" is just another desperate politician seeking to attain the Republican nomination for president.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain has spent the last several years excoriating politicians on all sides for not having principles and the like and while his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination is on life support and the plugs are coming off one at a time, read what our friend says now:
"We can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation's border that the new bill will provide an essential step toward achieving comprehensive reform in the future."
So, why did Sen. "F--- You" McCain fight tooth and nail for the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill-scam? Is it a coincidence that he has to fly commercial airlines and carry his own luggage on the campaign trail and be driven to events by supporters? (HT-Politico http://politico.com) Is it a real conversion, or one of political convenience?
For someone like Sen. "F--- You" McCain to bash former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for changing his mind on abortion, at least Mr. Romney did not humiliate himself as Sen. "F--- You" McCain did in pushing the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill-scam. Mr. Romney, I believe with my all my mind, had a genuine conversion. Sen. "F--- You" McCain has long claimed to be pro-life and votes accordingly, but has not been a leader in the pro-life movement. Nor has Mr. Romney. But, I would say that a convert often is more willing to take the lead than one who has just voted and never given the kind of story as to how he or she came to the position of being pro-life.
So, maybe, just maybe, Sen. "F--- You" McCain has a genuine change of heart. But I am very suspicious. I want to know more about how the senator has come around. It will be then that we will know if it is out of political expediency or the reality that border security trumps "comprehensive reform".
Otherwise, Sen. "F--- You" McCain proves that straight talk for him is just another buzz word and he is just another troll wanting to be president.
