Incidentally, in the Today Show interview, the senator takes a whack at oil-company profits, suggesting they should return some of these profits to consumers. And he would consider voting for a windfall profits tax
If McCain indeed said this today (on Today), it contradicts whatever his spokesman said the other day about his position on windfall profit taxes, and is more in line with exactly what he said last month, last year and in 2006.
As “President” he cannot vote on anything and he didn’t when the vote came up. So I am not sure given the time frame of when he said it. Having said that, I disagree with taxes on oil profits and profits are never obscene. I don’t agree with him 100% of the time, something that I have said in the past.
However, I refuse to take this “Haghani Circle” approach with November.
