The election is not about McCain. It is a referendum on Barry. We can't roll over and give up to Barry. As far as the tax comment, it is like Bush 41 “read my lips, no new taxes”. In McCain's case, he will likely have a veto-proof LibDem Congress who will propose taxes, tease McCain to try to veto, then blame McCain for higher taxes. It's a moot point. Taxes are up to Congress. McCain will only have the Bully Pulpit. Let's hope he takes advantage of it and take the message to the voters like Reagan. I'm exercising my audacity to hope that Barry is roundly defeated.

This election cycle is running 2 big government candidates. I agree the president doesn’t have much real say on tax increases (except by veto), but his words have influence and certainly don’t make me want to vote for him.
