McCain is actually defending NAFTA and Bush tax cuts

[LSK]

How the hell does he expect to win??? He just conceded Ohio, Michigan, PA and who knows how many other states to us!!!

The presumptive Republican nominee vowed to extend President Bush's tax cuts, which he once opposed as fiscally irresponsible because they weren't accompanied by spending cuts. "As president, I will keep the current low tax rates, and I will leave that trillion dollars and more with the millions of Americans who earned it," McCain said.

Both Obama and Hillary Clinton propose to let the tax cuts lapse for those making about $200,000 a year to help pay for expanding healthcare coverage and other programs.
McCain also pledged to back the existing North American Free Trade Agreement, which Obama and Clinton say they want to renegotiate, and the proposed Colombia free trade deal, which both Democrats oppose.

"In a time of uncertainty for American workers, we will not undo the gains of years in trade agreements now awaiting final approval," McCain said.

3. Not too long ago the weenie said he wanted even more tax cuts.

That's in addition to making the Bush tax cuts permanent. Of course, when any Repuplican says 'tax cuts' you can rest assured they are talking about tax cuts for rich people.

This is going to be a very good year for Democrats.

4. Fascinating how completely out of touch w/reality McCain is...

Even if this is his real stance, (it could change at any moment), it brings to the front his wife's $100 million+ wealth...one of the obvious ones that would benefit from this!

What an idiot.

5. John McSame snatches defeat from the jaws of near victory.

Renames straight talk express to Hindenburg.
