Is John McCain Stupid?
Wall Street Journal Online ^ | July 31, 2008 | DANIEL HENNINGER

John McCain is clever as all hell. He defined Obama while staying out of the media....

In response to the headline; It would appear so.

Thus we are stuck voting not for the lesser of two evils, but voting against the eviler of two lessers.

This isn't a flip-flop. It's a sex-change operation.

Henninger is pretty clever (unless he's talking about amnesty for illegal aliens, then he's a rodent.)

Not only is it on the table, it’s in McCain’s platform!

Of course I'm referring to privatizing SS - not raising payroll taxes.

As in days gone by, it depends on what the definition of "is" is

I just heard McCain on TV saying it’s Obama, and not McCain, who wants to raise payroll taxes.

McCain has rejected raising payroll taxes as a fix for social security. In fact, one could make a case that that would not fix social security.

Social security’s problems need things on the table that will actually fix it.

It needs to be restructured.
