The brouhaha over the Sen. McCain’s confusing position that “everything is on the table,” including possible tax increases to bail out Social Security, continues. Anjeanette Damon of the Reno Gazette-Journal has posted an audio recording of a post-town hall meeting with local reporters on Tuesday in which she and Samantha Stone of KOH radio tried to pin the GOP presidential candidate down on the issue - with no luck.
You can hear McCain’s convoluted answers to their straight-talk questions HERE on Inside Nevada Politics. And listen for Sen. McCain making this statement: “I’ve always supported tax cuts.”
Au contraire, mon frere. I seem to recall that Sen. McCain famously voted against the Bush tax cuts not once, but TWICE. Now, he might be able to articulate a valid reason for voting against them due to the fact that spending remained out of control, but he can’t honestly say he’s “always supported tax cuts.” No, he hasn’t.
