Hey, if reaching across the aisle is what it takes to win I’m all for getting screwed over.

I think I’m gonna be sick.

McCain now stands with Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Conyers, and the whole left.

Which party nominated this guy.....?

If Exxon’s smart, they’ll move their HQ to Mexico or the Cayman Islands.

This is extraordinary.

A windfall profits tax will not generate one more barrel of oil for American consumers.

And...and...the vast majority of oil in our world is controlled by governments and tin horned dictators. The large oil companies control only about 10 to 13%.

Who is McCain’s economic adviser? Soupy Sales?

At least McCain is honest and out in the open about his socialist beliefs. It would be funny to watch he and Obama pander to the leftists if it wasn't our country that was involved.

"Hey, if reaching across the aisle is what it takes to win I’m all for getting screwed over."

If he reached across the aisle he'd touch a Republican.

After all of his years in the US Senate the man still does not have a basic understanding of high school economics. Who says that every young man and woman does not have a chance to be president. The only qualification seems to be desire.

I wish that was a joke.

McCain once again proves that he is essentially just a liberal, and even more economically retarded than most.

So our choice is between an old white liberal and a young black liberal?

I think I'm going to write in "Sarah Palin" or "Bobby Jindal". Geesh!

Senate Republicans block windfall taxes on Big Oil

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080611/ap_on_go_co/congress_oil_profits

“McCain is opposed to such taxes and has proposed across-the-aboard tax reductions for industry as a way to help the economy.”
