Sen. John McCain’s image machine and the media
have successfully cast the Republican
presidential candidate as a straight-talking
maverick. Cliff Schecter’s new
book, The Real McCain: Why Conservatives
Don’t Trust Him—and Why Independents Shouldn’t,
peels away the mask. Schecter finds a trail of
expedient flip-flops on the Iraq invasion and
occupation, the religious right, campaign
finance reform, torture and other issues. McCain
emerges as a man who will do or say almost
anything to become president of the United
States. Schecter will be at the AFL-CIO in
Washington, D.C., Friday, May 30, from 6–8 p.m.
to discuss The Real McCain. Drop by if
you’re in town.

Are you better off now than you were eight years
ago?
