Old Man McCain

John McCain: too old, too angry, too much like George W. Bush.

If I Was A Republican

I'd be pretty pissed that McCain has already backtracked on his "no tax increase" pledge even before he's been elected:
When asked if that includes a possible hike in the payroll tax, McCain reiterated that nothing -- including such a tax hike -- is "off the table."

"I don't want tax increases. Of course, I'd like to have young Americans have some of their money put into an account with their name on it," McCain said.

However, in a February interview with Stephanopoulos, which also aired on "This Week," McCain made a pledge not to raise taxes as president. When Stephanopoulos asked, "Are you a 'read my lips' candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?" McCain responded affirmatively: "No new taxes."

But maybe they don't care about these things anymore.

I do remember Rush Limbaugh saying something along the lines of "If you give voters a choice between a Republican acting like a Democrat and a Democrat, they'll choose the real thing."

I remember he flip-flopped on this 2 weeks after making that no new taxes pledge. Apparently he's re-flipflopped. Is that possible to flip-flop a flip-flop?
