McCain Waffles - part of a complete breakfast

Here's a nice list of contradictory McCain positions from the last two days (lifted en toto from kos, compliments to demfromct):

Deregulation: McCain issued a statement Monday morning saying that “we cannot tolerate a system that handicaps our markets and our banks.”

Regulation: McCain’s campaign then put out an ad calling for “tougher rules on Wall Street.”

Deregulation: This morning, on NBC’s Today Show, McCain said, “Of course, I don’t like excessive and unnecessary government regulation.”

Regulation: Then, on CBS’s The Early Show, McCain said, “Do I believe in excess government regulation? Yes.”

Both: On CNBC’s Squawk Box, McCain said, “We don’t want to burden average citizens with over-regulation and government bureaucracy...And I’m proud to be a Teddy Roosevelt Republican, who said, ‘unfettered capitalism leads to corruption,’ and we’ve got to fix this.”

His back has got to be sore from all those gymnastics.
