oped by McCain's cousin - Cousin John, where did you go? (voting, campaign)

[scorp200]

This is quite good:

A part of me is made very sad to write this article. As I've said, my family has followed John's life and career with no absence of pride. If there ever were a Republican we might consider voting for, it would have been my cousin John.

But, as he continually demonstrates in this campaign, my cousin John is long gone. "Straight talk" has been replaced with "flip-flop." Saddest all, this is the same man who, when campaigning in 2000, told a crowd of supporters, "I don't think Bill Gates needs a tax cut. I think your parents do."

Wow! That's quite an indictment of a family member and makes quite clear how far right the "maverick" has turned in his quest for the presidency..
