McCain switched tax views to win votes ( Stage III )

Yet another great example of the political world? Ideas flow from one mind to another. Yes that right! That's what politics is all about. Politic leaders have been changing people's attitudes and their judgements through their words and promises. Fake promises? Changing Lanes? Self-interest? While the mass media being our guests and primary suppliers of entertainment. In a recent Houston Chronicle article by Charles Bibington, Sen. Barrack Obama said "Sen. John McCain reversed his position on President Bush's deep tax cuts in order to win the Republican presidential nomination." I personally do like Obama's point of views on Iraq War but here he is indirectly insisting on raising taxes to fulfill his campaign promises and keep his party going. Wouldn't that hurt our fragile economy in the long run? Now let's move over to John Mc Cain. He opposed the tax-cuts in the past because it did not come with spending cuts but that's not what he said at the time. In 2001, Mc Cain said, "President Bush's $1.35 trillion tax cuts benefited the wealthy at the expense of the middle class." In 2003, Mc Cain said "he opposed $350 billion tax-cuts because cost of the Iraq War and the aftermath were still unknown." If you noticed, in both statements not even once did he mention "spending cuts". However, in 2008 he completely changed his view points on tax-cuts. He wants to make the "Bush tax-cuts" permanent ??? Come on now... Will you please stop changing your places John?
