John McCain keeps contradicting himself lately on so many issues. The fact is that he’s changing his positions based on polls. But, it is certainly to portray himself as the candidate of change. How can you be a “maverick” and at the same time you support the Bush administration in almost every “wrong decision” that George Bush and his administration have made. How can you separate them since they belong to the same political party? No matter how hard he will try to separate himself from George Bush, the stigma of the Bush administration will be there. He’s an opportunist — when the circumstances change, he undergoes a conversion of convenience.

As the Bambara of Mali say, “No matter how much the world changes, cats will never lay eggs.”
