Book Reviews of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't
Book Review: The Real McCain
Summary: 5 Stars
I will make this short because there are already a number of well written and detailed reviews posted. It is very well written and laid out in a manner that makes it easy to read and follow. It is very well sourced as well. I would hope that a lot of voters will take the time to read this book, recommend it to others and pass on the information it presents. No one can read this book and conclude that Senator McCain is Presidential material. His flaws are too numerous and too substantial.
Summary of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't
Thinking about voting for McCain? Read this book. Cliff Schecter's hard-hitting profile explores the gap between the public record of Senator John McCain and his media image. Drawing on a range of sources and adding his unique perspective and humor, Schecter guides the reader though McCain's long history of expedient flip-flops, especially on his signature issues of national security and campaign finance reform. Far from a straight-talking maverick, McCain emerges as a temperamental political chameleon who will do or say virtually anything to become president of the United States. On issue after issue - including the invasion and occupation of Iraq, torture, abortion, and gay rights - The Real McCain reveals a politician who started as a Goldwater Republican, experienced a brief period after sanity after his loss to George W. Bush in 2000, and began pandering to the very groups he challenged after deciding to run again in 2008.General Books
