"Straight Talk" Express DeRailed - McCain in his own words...

Posted by Aaron Park on February 01, 2008 at 06:01 PM

This post is dedicated to anyone thinking of supporting McCain. Please reconsider, soon!

DO YOU KNOW THE REAL MCCAIN AGENDA?
Pushing The Democrat Position On Immigration, Taxes, Energy…

“A conservative is not a man that calls tax cuts that George Bush passed that revived the economy, ‘tax cuts for the rich.’ … A conservative is not a man that teams up with Teddy Kennedy to produce a bill that is nothing short of amnesty … A conservative is not a man who says that he wants to increase taxes, maybe 50 cents per gallon on the American people… That is not a conservative. I could go on forever and ever.” – MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 1/31/08; LINK)

Sen. McCain Would Sign McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Legislation Into Law:

Sen. McCain Recently Admitted That If Elected, He Would Sign McCain-Kennedy Immigration Bill Into Law. NBC’S TIM RUSSERT: “If the Senate passed your bill, S.1433, the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill, would you as President sign it? MCCAIN: “Yeah. But look, the lesson is, it isn’t – one, it isn’t going to come. It isn’t going to come.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 1/27/08 LINK)

Sen. McCain Would Not Champion The Bush Tax Cuts He Voted Against:

In 2004, Sen. McCain Said He Was Against Making The Bush Tax Cuts “For Higher Income People” Permanent. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN: “They want to make the tax cuts for higher-income people permanent, and I don’t want that.” (NPR’s “Morning Edition,” 6/16/04)

Sen. McCain: “I Don’t Think We Should Continue To Cut Taxes.” SEN. MCCAIN: “I don’t think we should continue to cut taxes.” (Sen. John McCain, Remarks, Washington , D.C. , 5/18/04)

  • In 2001, Sen. McCain Was One Of Only Two Republicans To Vote Against The $1.35 Trillion Tax Cut. The bill lowered marginal rates, eliminated the marriage penalty, and doubled the child tax credit. (H.R. 1836, CQ Vote #170: Adopted 58-33: R 46-2; D 12-31; I 0-0, 5/26/01, McCain Voted Nay)
  • In 2003, Sen. McCain Was One Of Only Three Republicans To Twice Vote Against The $350 Billion Tax Cut. The comprehensive bill lowered taxes by $350 billion over 11 years – including increasing the child tax credit and eliminated the marriage penalty. (H.R. 2, CQ Vote #179: Passed 51-49: R 48-3; D 3-45; I 0-1, 5/15/03, McCain Voted Nay; H.R. 2, CQ Vote #196: Adopted 50-50: R 48-3; D 2-46; I 0-1, 5/23/03, McCain Voted Nay)
