Republican presidential candidate and former prisoner of war John McCain took off the gloves at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) convention in Florida on Monday, accusing his opponent of putting personal ambition in front of national interest in opposing the troop surge in Iraq.

McCain accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of “shifting positions” on the surge, adding that the Illinois senator’s opposition to the surge and subsequent troop funding bills provided a “clarifying moment.”

“Not content to merely predict failure in Iraq, my opponent tried to legislate failure,” McCain said. He added: “It was a moment when political self-interest and the national interest parted ways.” …

He’s right you know. Of course he was speaking to a very friendly audience.

Speaking of which, have you noticed how seldom Mr. Obama appears before his core constituents such as NARAL, Code Pink or the Daily Kos now that the primaries are over?

Still, we are getting a little tired of milk.
