* McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he’s against it.

* McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three
weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.

* McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the
law; now he believes the opposite.

* McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s
against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

Wait, I’m not done with the last two weeks yet….

* McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect
abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.

* McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the
opposite.

* He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the
Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it “one of the
worst decisions in the history of this country.”

* McCain said he would “not impose a litmus test on any nominee.” He
used to promise the opposite.

And these come after these other reversals from April and May:

Just in case the revelation that American torturers took their cues from
that model of moral clarity that was the Chinese Communist regime hasn't
fully convinced you that the practice is unquestionably,
incontrovertibly evil, Christopher Hitchens' column in the August 2008
Vanity Fair, "Believe Me, It's Torture," ought to drive the point home.
That is, if the accompanying video, available online at Vanity Fair's
website, doesn't do it first.

Mentally Ill Republicans

By Jon Faulkner
Smirking Chimp, Jun 29 2008

It's not difficult to make the case that conservative republicans suffer
from a form of mental illness. Americans have watched them embrace
family values and discover ethics, while stealing an election and
contriving the circumstances for starting wars.

They have worked tirelessly to undermine the American Constitution while
frantically waving the flag. They firmly believe in the privatization of
government and consistently ignore the inconvenient history of the
American taxpayer bailout of one failed/scandalized corporation after
the next.

These things, by and of themselves, don’t make republicans soft in their
heads, but as Einstein said of insanity, it’s “doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting different results.”
