Default McCain Renegs On No Tax Pledge
Quote:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain drew a sharp rebuke Monday from conservatives after he signaled an openness to a higher payroll tax for Social Security, contrary to previous vows not to raise taxes of any kind.

Speaking with reporters on his campaign bus on July 9, he cited a need to shore up Social Security, saying: “I cannot tell you what I would do, except to put everything on the table.”

He went a step farther Sunday with his reponse on a nationally televised talk show to a question about payroll tax increases.

“There is nothing that’s off the table. I have my positions, and I’ll articulate them. But nothing’s off the table,” McCain said. “I don’t want tax increases. But that doesn’t mean that anything is off the table.”

That comment drew a strong response Monday from the Club for Growth, a Washington anti-tax group. McCain’s comments, the group said in a letter to the Arizona senator, are “shocking because you have been adamant in your opposition to raising taxes under any circumstances.”

ABC News
So has John McCain been lying to the American people all of these months that he would engage in fiscal conservatism and reign in wasteful spending? McCain has changed his position on so many different issues since the time he secured the nomination how can he be trusted by the voters?

Between McCain and Obama, John Kerry is looking like a very decisive man these days.

Kerry flipped once. I don't know what Obama's flipped on. And McCain's flipped on just about every single issue out there. I don't see how Obama and Kerry even compare to McCain when it comes to flip flopping.

Don't be a mark for Obama. The guy somehow supports the Heller v. DC decision while he simultaneously supports the Chicago handgun ban (which is nearly identical to the now defunct DC ban). That's ONE, shall we list others?
