Cindy and John McCain
Hannity and Colmes 9:00pm
Interview - part 2

TRANSCRIPT:
HANNITY: You quote yourself a "foot soldier" in the Reagan revolution.

J. MCCAIN: Yes, sir.

HANNITY: All right. When President Reagan took office, we had pretty tough economic times.

[]
J. MCCAIN: Jack Kennedy came to office and said cut the capital gains tax, they did and revenues increased. Now Senator Obama, talking to Charlie Gibson, Charlie Gibson said, why would you want to raise capital gains taxes? There's a 100 million people involved in that. And he said because of fairness, even though, as Charlie Gibson pointed out to him, revenues decrease. He still wants to quote be quote "fair." That's redistribution of the wealth.

HANNITY: Well, explain, if you can, why is it that it would be a bad thing? Maybe you can explain to people that think, oh, well, wait a minute, maybe the rich aren't paying enough, and if I am going to benefit, why would that be bad for the economy?

J. MCCAIN: History shows us if we raise taxes in a bad economy, you hurt the economy. And there was a president named Herbert Hoover, a Republican. They raised taxes, they practiced protectionism and they went from a serious recession into a deep depression. Now, that's a matter of history. The worst time to raise anybody's taxes on anything is when we are in an economic crisis. Finally, when people accumulate wealth, like "Joe the Plumber," then they hire other people. And then other people are able to move up the economic ladder.

HANNITY: They pay taxes, buy homes.

J. MCCAIN: That's a fundamental principle of the free enterprise system that we celebrate every day in America. Thank God, 300,000 jobs have been created by small businesses, while we lost over 700,000.

[]
HANNITY: You feel — and you were quoted as saying you feel you're going to win, you feel the enthusiasm. You've not been happy with some of the ads that have come out against your husband. You're pretty defensive of them.

C. MCCAIN: Well, you know, I think many of the ads have misrepresented my husband, misrepresented him in a personal way, too. We have serious differences between these two candidates. And there's a very clear choice for the American people. And it's just important for us now to make sure that we get our message out and make sure that people understand what's the truth.

HANNITY: You know, when it comes to the war, for example, your son is fighting in Iraq. And Governor Palin's son is fighting in Iraq. We know your husband's record.
You know, you said — you've talked — he's lived every day of his life by this code of conduct: duty, honor, country. That is something that our opponent cannot say that he has done.

C. MCCAIN: Well, what I meant by that was my husband has lived, truly has lived his life by the code of conduct. He has always put his country first in every measure of everything he's ever done. That was not a criticism of Senator Obama by any stretch. It was just a matter of me talking about the truth and what I believe is the truth of my husband and his conduct and how he's led his life. And that's also what he's instilled in our children. Not only our sons, but our entire family. You know, they're both good men that was no way meant...

HANNITY: You've been attacked even personally. The New York Times apparently is not big fans of the McCains. But, one story that I found the most compelling about you is the story of your adoption and you didn't tell Senator McCain until you came home.

[]
HANNITY: All right. Governor Palin — I'll ask you both this question. She had — the mini army went up to Alaska to try and dig up dirt on Governor Palin. Her family, her children have been attacked. More recently, her clothes. I think the media spent more time attacking her children and her clothes then they did investigating an issue I had been concerned about — the relationship with Bill Ayers.

What do you think of that?

C. MCCAIN: Oh, I think it's all nonsense. My gosh. We have very important issues facing the country and there's — this is the kind of stuff the media's focusing on? What about our troops? What about our economy? What about their vision for the country? That's what we should be talking about. I think the whole thing's nonsense.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: I don't pay for my clothes. FOX does.

J. MCCAIN: Can I just mention one other thing? I know there's now this going around that there's differences between myself and Sarah Palin. We're very close. We are both mavericks. There are a couple of things we disagree on. In fact, you are on her side...

HANNITY: On energy independence, yeah.

J. MCCAIN: On one of them. But look, do you expect two mavericks to not — to agree on every single thing? I am so proud of her. Listen, she and I share the same principles, the same values, the same vision for America, and I couldn't be more proud of her and the job she's done.

Hannity has to be one of the dumbest fucks ever to host a show. If he and ann coulter had a child it wouldn't have enough brains to blink its eyes.

[bakshay]

"Whack Job!" That's what a senior McCain advisor just called Palin...

Cindy McCain is an alien dominatrix -- and hubby is the Manchurian Candidate!

[flirtwd]

Hey didn't John McCain use Palin for the female vtoe and Larry the plumper for the EVERY MAN VOTE? Ha! What a freaking a-hole.

[demonsale]

Who Obama will tax and who will get credit? Finally - last word.

watch?v=vq-AbqclyUo

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

On the radio Hannity sound like 10 X's more like an right wing asshole

[jbdpramod]

McCain camp is stupid.

They keep on giving interview to Hannity. If anybody believes in Hannity, he will already vote for McCain.

McCain should give interviews to Alan. Let Alan grill him and if he answers questions confidently, he might have votes from Independant.

[flaerock]

Hellooo...Obama is going to cut capital gains taxes. He's said it so many times. Why does McCain continue to tell a lie that has been debunked so clearly?

[howardthecoward07]

Sean Hannity & John Mccain are great americans. Great job on this interview. Love to see Mccain working hard while Obama's figuring out more ways to dodge giving a judge his birth certificate.
