And as for McCain . . .

When he ran for president in 1999, he was opposed to offshore drilling. In early 2008, he was waffling about it. Now he's all for it, and right now.

Earlier this year he said he didn't "like obscene profits being made anywhere" and would be "glad to look" at a windfall profits tax on oil companies. Now he blasts the idea.

He used to think warrantless wiretapping was illegal. Now he says otherwise.

In 2007 he said the Rep platform should say that abortion should be legal in cases of rape and incest. Now he no longer believes that.

He used to give speeches defending the estate tax. Now he says its the most unfair tax of all.

And so on. There are so many issues on which McCain is switching sides, as we speak, to get political advantage.

You know what? That is politics.
