The McCain camp won’t listen. John McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagen Revolution. The reason he was a foot soldier is he never understood the battle well enough to be an officer.
He has no private sector experience. He does not understand how the business world works and doesn’t really care. He admits economics is his weak area, which is why the Dems are pressing it so hard. They know he won’t say things he doesn’t believe, and since he does not understand conservative economic policies he won’t espouse them.
He understands congress. He knows what he thinks are the problems in congress. He wants to be president so he can fix congress. Unfortunately, that is not the president’s job. He is to be the chief executive, something McCain is not qualified for.
Look at his positions on taxes. I haven’t heard one thing about simplifying the code. Instead he talks about adding more ‘tax credits’ and ‘tax incentives’. He plans to support the free market by adding more blocks to the 1040. It’s like being a conservative activist judge. It’s an oxymoron. He doesn’t understand that he is trying to use a socialist tool to achieve capitalist goals. It doesn’t work.
I’ll vote for him. I know enough about Obama to be very, very scared. But I think the only hope conservatism has in the near future is a strongly conservative House of Representatives. Today’s vote was not encouraging.
