Captain Obvious: John McCain Filibuster Dishonest and Calculated

There has been a lot of squawking from the right about the "Dream" Act and an amendment to begin the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the defense appropriations bill.  John McCain led a filibuster of the bill based on these two issues.  But he's being dishonest, and recalibrating his actions based on the hard-right turn in the conservative electorate. 

Let's get a couple of things clear here:

- Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) was enacted in a defense appropriations bill.
- John McCain said previously that if military leaders were for repeal, he would be too.
- Military leaders are now for appeal.
- Republicans used to be proponents of the "Dream" Act.

John McCain is flip-flopping more than a fish on a dock. So when you hear that the Democrats and Harry Reid were trying to "cram" these things "down our throats," it is dishonest, calculated and just flat-out wrong.
