Just like McCain voting against the tax cuts before he voted for the
tax
cuts. What is it with these Vietnam era naval officers that makes them
wafflers.


Age and experience, maybe. Only a complete idiot has an unbending,
almost
religious belief in the "never raise taxes" concept. Remember Bush-1?
What
did you think of his shift on the subject?

Paul O'Neil spoke about that in the book authored by Ronald Suskind called
"The Price of Loyalty". Seems that Bush 1 had won the office on a promise
of
tax breaks and when it was explained to him what this would do to the
economy, he backed off, knowing the broken promise would cost him his
second
term.
To me, forfeiting a second term for the good of the country says a lot
about
this man.


Is your nickname, "spinmeister"? It should be!




Why is it "spin"?
