Yes, McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts as they were then written on that bill. But, did you pay any attention to his reason for voting against those tax cuts? He voted not against the cuts themselves, but he voted against the bill because there were no provisions for cutting spending. I happen to agree that if we are going to have these tax cuts, we also must cut spending, especially the pork. Do you have a problem with this concept?

I know thats what he said, but where has been the action in any form by him to reduce spending?
Besides reducing taxes increase revenue to the feds.

"He voted not against the cuts themselves, but he voted against the bill because there were no provisions for cutting spending."

So, there will be no tax cuts until Congress votes for spending cuts? Then, there will never be tax cuts and that makes McCain (as the Marxists would say) objectively opposed to tax cuts. Whatever cr*p McCain says for voting against those specific tax cuts is irrelevant. Oh, don't forget McCain's class war rhetoric in opposing the tax cuts. Oh, and finally, McCain has been in the Senate how long and what tax cuts has he actually proposed?

McCain is a sack of .... (fill in the blank)>
