consistent McCain

"But we are not asked to judge the President's character flaws. We are
asked to judge whether the President, who swore an oath to faithfully
execute his office, deliberately subverted--for whatever purpose--the
rule of law," - John McCain arguing for the impeachment of Bill
Clinton for perjury in a civil suit, February 1999.

"Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a
horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot," - John McCain, October
2007.

"We've got to move on," - John McCain, April 26, 2009, reacting to
incontrovertible proof that George W. Bush ordered the waterboarding
of a prisoner 183 times, as well as broader treatment that the Red
Cross has called "unequivocally torture."
