McCain Speaks the Truth

Finally, McCain is speaking the truth about Obama, and on the most important issue this campaign. Obama is a socialist and wants to destroy America faster than anyone else in history.

McCain suggests Obama tax policies are socialist
By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Saturday accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of favoring a socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits McCain says would merely shuffle wealth rather than creating it.

"At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."

In a stunning show of leftist media bias, the reporter goes on to defend Obama by attacking McCain back for him. Disgusting.

McCain, though, has a health care plan girded with a similar philosophy. He proposes providing individuals with a $5,000 tax credit to buy health insurance. He would pay for his plan, in part, by considering as taxable income the money their employer spends on their health coverage.

Now, where have we ever seen a Democrat make a statement attacking the reft, and then the reporter, attacking back on behalf of the Republican with the old "pot calling the kettle black" redirect? NEVER. Only commentators do that, not "journalists."

I agree, McCain is slightly socialist as well, and to that extent, he sucks too. But no one, ever, in the history of American presidential politics, is as big or as consistent a socialist as Obama.

Obama has said his tax policies would cut payments for 95 percent of working Americans, while increasing them only for families making more than $250,000 a year. McCain has argued that 40 percent of Americans don't pay income taxes, either because they are seniors or don't meet minimum earnings thresholds, so the only way to cut their taxes is to give them various credits.

"In other words, Barack Obama's tax plan would convert the IRS into a giant welfare agency, redistributing massive amounts of wealth at the direction of politicians in Washington," McCain said in the radio address.

Well said, John McCain. Keep speaking the truth like this, and you just MIGHT win my vote back.
