I agree w/ everything you posted.
About the tax cuts - I know McCain doesn’t like pork barrel spending - he says tax cuts only work when spending is lowered.
McCain gets slammed when he sides w/ Bush & slammed when he doesn’t! Can’t please everyone I guess!
He comes closer than the other candidates tho’!
My three hot button issues are taxes and immigration and the terrorists. So I have to take a pass on McCain unless it comes down to the witch vs McCain. Meanwhile, one other thing about McCain that bothers me is is attitude towards Kerry.
