He is also a lefty. I am not. I am a small-government conservative who clings tenaciously and old-fashionedly to the idea that one ought to have balanced budgets. On abortion, gay marriage, et al, I’m libertarian.

That pretty much says it all. He's a Democratic who wants a cut in the capital gains tax.

There is one issue in which I think the author is right.

McCain originally opposed the Bush tax cuts (some of which were quite flawed, in my opinion).

Then McCain, in order to get the GOP nomination, supported the Bush tax cuts.

That is a flip-flop in any person’s book.

McCain could help himself by supporting a tax cut on businesses while calling for a tax raise on Millionaires. That’s what the American people want.
