  Simple answers for the simple mind of T. Suarez.

  "Watch as he desperately pretends he hasn't sacrificed every principle he ever had (if he had any) to get to this point."

  You mean Obama, right?

  No. McCain.

  I didn't know Jeremiah Wright was a raving, racist lunatic. (Memo: Disinvited Wright to his campaign kickoff months earlier because "you know you can get kinda rough at times.")

  He isn't.

  I cannot disown Jeremiah Wright any more than I can disown my white grandmother. (Memo: Wright thrown off the train a few weeks later.)

  A disingenuous paraphrasing.

  I'll stick to public financing for my campaign. (Memo: hell, let's just roll in the dough and forget my "promise.")

  A disappointment.

  I'm against changing the FISA law. (Memo: voted for the new FISA law.)

  Another disappointment.

  The surge is a failure. (Memo: Tells O'Reilly tonight that the surge has succeeded.)

  It was.

  Said we should end the embargo of Cuba because it was a failure. (Memo: Speaking to a Cuban-American audience in Miami, said we should keep the embargo "because it is an important inducement for change.")

  It is.

  Said "no" on a questionnaire that asked if we should crack down on business that hire illegal immigrants. (Memo: In January debate said, "We do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation."

  Sensible.

  Obama's an empty suit, a calculating pol, a liar and a fraud. -- T. Suarez

  As is McCain. As is most every other professional politician in the world.
