I don't think he abandoned his principles so much as he started to emphasize the ones he thought would appeal to "the base." I didn't realize his vote on the legalization of torture - which I think is absolutely wrong for our government to authorize in any form.

But now McCain is too old to be in the White House-- older than Reagan, who was too also old. McCain has utterly abandoned all his principles in support of Bush-- even voting for the Military Commissions Act last October, which legalized torture. And McCain is dead wrong on the occupation of Iraq-- it seems like he's re-fighting the Vietnam War in his mind. I was very enthusiastic about McCain for President in 2000.
