UAW head chides McCain for Prius 'flip-flop'

LANSING, Mich. - The head of the United Auto Workers union said Wednesday that Republican presidential nominee John McCain lost credibility by first saying he bought his daughter a Toyota Prius, then saying she purchased it.

Ron Gettelfinger told reporters in a conference call that motorists have a right to choose any car they want.

"But we think that a person who has declared himself ... the nominee of the Republican Party should be straight with the American people," he said. "It's very insulting to try to skirt something as simple as whether or not you bought a particular vehicle."

Added Jim Graham, president of UAW Local 1112 in Youngstown, Ohio: "If he is going to lie about an issue as small as a Prius, what's he going to do on the big issues?"

Requests for comment were left Wednesday with the McCain

This is what MSM should be discussing. Real character flaws. Real pandering. Not acceptable in our WH.
