Here at Deceiver, no one is exempt from scorn, and certainly not all the people who think they’re qualified to run the nation. In the past week, we’ve given you Sen. Obama’s changing positions on marijuana and Sen. McCain’s use of public campaign funds. (We also gave you Mitt Romney, but we didn’t know at the time we were just wasting our breath.) Which of course leaves the big mama of them all…
Sen. Hillary Clinton has been loudly accusing Sen. Obama of flip-flopping on gun control:
“Well [Obama] has to speak to his own record, which has obviously changed over a relatively short period of time,” shot Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
But Sen. Clinton herself seems to have moved a lot to the right of her own views of the issue. During her Senate run in 2000, she advocated the formation of a national gun registry:
“We license drivers before they get behind the wheel to make sure they can drive safely,” she said. “We register cars to make sure someone is responsible for every vehicle on the road. But we don’t do the same for deadly weapons.”
CLINTON: …You know, I believe in the Second Amendment. People have a right to bear arms. But I also believe that we can common-sensically approach this.
RUSSERT: But you’ve backed off a national licensing registration plan?
CLINTON: Yes.
This most recent exchange was between Sen. Clinton and moderator Tim Russert during the presidential debate in Nevada last month.
How will I know who I need to vote against if not a single candidate knows what they believe in?
