Political junkies will recall the 1992 Democratic presidential primaries, when the late Sen. Paul Tsongas, speaking in that Massachusetts accent he had, called Bill Clinton a “pander bear.” Clinton, of course, was just that: a practiced professional pol trying to be all things to all people, with a penchant for sticking his wet finger into the political wind to determine what his position should be when addressing a crowd.
Well, this year, we have a new pander bear: Sen. John McCain.
Over the years, McCain has said and done so many things to irritate conservatives and engender distrust among the voters who comprise the base of the Republican Party, that he now has very little political capital with the people he needs to win his party’s nomination for president. Therefore, he panders. He panders because he knows conservatives don’t trust him.
