WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. John McCain is refusing to consider raising taxes to reduce the ballooning deficit.
McCain was asked on ABC's "This Week" whether he would make a similar pledge as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to do whatever it takes to bring down the deficit over the long run, such as raising taxes.
The Arizona Republican said "no."

Now we should all feel better. Afterall McCain is refusing (nice strong, solid word) to consider raising taxes to reduce the deficit but yet he is in favor of a bill that will ultimately tax everyone into oblivion....no wait....we’re already into oblivion (what’s the next step here? anyone? anyone? Bueller, Bueller?)
This guy is a real piece of work.
Dear John McCain,
Go away.
No, really.
Thank you very much.
And, I voted for McCain.
Well, I guess it could’ve been worse, Obama could’ve won the election...erh, uhm...please don’t tell me.
a. Government got us into this situation.
b. Only government can get us out.
No problem is so big, so vast that it cannot be solved by thousands of pages of more government regulation.
Retire, John. Retire...while you might still retain some respect.
All seriousness aside...
2012, there’s gonna be some house cleaning, from the top on down.
And if the Republicans put up some YOOYOO RINO like McCain, the Conservative’s reaction will make the current townhall meetings look like kindergarten playtime.
McCain is and always has been part of the Hopey-Changey Crowd. He has no moral compass. I think if he had one they removed it in Hanoi. A Monday morning look at his candidacy in 2008 gives a clear picture of a shill for 0bama. The last straw was when he discovered that his “intentional blunder” to add Palin to the ticket pushed him over the top and he spent the remainder of the campaign trying to destroy his success.
**landslide - what he would have gotten in ‘08 if not for Sarah.**
If it wasn’t for SARAH, I would have stayed HOME, as my own CongressIDIOT ran Unopposed ..... again ....
IF not for SARAH, McLAME’s total vote count in ‘08 would have matched MONDALE ‘84... and I’m afraid that is what it’s going to take for the Current GOP to realize that ... RINO is NOT the WAY to GO!!
Well said.
