He really did say that wartime tax cuts for the rich is immoral. I agree with the questioner. I miss THAT John McCain. Frankly, I wonder if he was pandering then more than he's pandering today.

WTF is wrong with american politics? Why is "flip-flopping" bad? You HAVE to change your mind as new information comes in.

How the hell are you supposed to lead if you can't change your mind about anything?

The silliness of american politics disgusts me. (and not only because of this)

I may sound strange but I wish for the price of gas to INCREASE by a large amount. There are obviously some benefits to force car company to make more efficient cars instead of increasing tax.

[ndyt]

sounds like a flip-flop to me... just to shore up his base... just like the man said.

[tmsbry]

he dodged the second half of the man's question

He's a belligerent old man unfamiliar with how to make friends. Not a recipe for success.

And have you noticed, the price of gas is dropping all over the U.S.? In some areas it's down to $2.99 per gallon.

So,there is a connection between gas prices and the bailout!

No bailout and gas prices drop. No wonder GW Bush wants a bailout, it means more profits for him, Dickless Cheney and the rest of the bums living off of us!
