Thinking about voting for McCain?

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 on the Iraq war, the Christian right, campaign finance reform, torture, abortion, gay rights, and other issues. Far from a straight-talking maverick, McCain emerges as a temperamental political chameleon who will do or say anything to become president of the United States.

4/9 McCain's un-Real response to book

“Everyone who wants to see past the spin and understand the danger posed by a McCain presidency should read this book.”

― Joe Trippi, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet and the Overthrow of Everything

“A new book by liberal writer and political consultant Cliff Schecter lays out a detailed blueprint for how Dems can mine presumed GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's political and personal past—including already well-documented incidents of his temper—to defeat him in the fall.”

― U.S. News & World Report

“Cliff Schecter is either the funniest smart person or the smartest funny person. Either way, this book is exactly what America needs. A laugh-out-loud map of McCain’s Straight Talk Express — complete with swerves, u-turns, and dubious pit stops.”

― Sam Seder, Air America Radio

“Cliff Schecter provides us with some real ‘straight talk’ about John McCain. Everyone who wants to know why John McCain won’t give us healthcare but will keep us fighting endless wars and sell our personal freedoms to far-right theocrats should read this book.”

― Paul Hackett, Iraq war veteran, U.S. Marine Corps
