“I said no taxes, yehere?”
“No taxes None, won’t doit. Grawl.”
McCain is as sincere as Hillary.

No, because a bunch of FReepers are going to actively work to prevent McCain from winning in November. Therefore, with hillary or Obama we'll be getting another Bader Ginsberg and another Breyer.

Technically Bush 41 didn't lie. He just raised the existing taxes. ;)

And Bush 41 endorse McCain this weekend. All in all, not the best of campaign planning.

....and when he broke it our long national nightmare began. Naming old man Bush as VP was Reagan's biggest mistake.

Are we sure he didn’t mean “no new tax cuts”?

Actually - Kennedy was a Reagan appointee. So was O’Connor.

The other Bush 41 appointee was Thomas.

If the tax cuts from 2001-2002 are not extended, there will be a tax increase without McCain doing much of anything. He tepidly indicates that he supports extension of the tax cuts, but I really don’t believe what he says because he wants the presidency so badly.

Call me when he makes a “no-new-illegal-immigrants” pledge. Until then, NO SALE.
