Actually I would not consider McCain a tax and spender. He has been anti-pork barrel for a long time. He does though has some odd positions on mergers here and there. He claims he wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, so perhaps he has had a moment of clarity on that, plus I think he really got the message on amnesty from the US citizens. Let’s not forget, Bush would have signed it if it made it to his desk.
Hasn’t McCain been working with Lieberman recently to raise taxes on fuel? He’s also big on regulations as with McCain/Feingold and the phony greenhouse gas issue.
