Rush is right. I said it myself yesterday...

The Arizona Republican Buffoon said "no." He says the government should be able to reduce the deficit without new taxes by reducing the costs of Medicare and Social Security, which make up significant portions of the federal budget.

McCain sounds like he is putting forward a conservative alternative. But all he is doing is obstructing any conservative alternative by floating an unsupported and unworkable solution. By doing so he has boxed Republicans in. To refute his nonsensical solution they have to sound like they are for tax increases or against fixing the problems in Medicare and SS. He just provided perfect cover for 0bama's plans.

McCain never fails to screw conservatives. Whenever Republicans appear to be gaining some traction McCain is there to put grease on their tires.

And Maxine Waters is all up in arms about the "Neanderthal" Democrats in the Senate.

Rep. Waters' use of this term as a pejorative is deeply disappointing after all the progress we've made in recent years, and she should immediately offer a sincere apology to the entire neanderthal community.
