McLame Lies

I just picked this up listening to Rush. So, in addition to lying about Romney supporting timetables for withdrawal from Iraq, and falsely denying he suggested Justice Sam Alito is too conservative, John McCain lied about why he opposed President Bush's proposed tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.

In a presidential debate on Wednesday, McCain said he voted against the Bush tax cuts because he wanted to rein in spending.

"I disagreed when we had tax cuts without spending restraint," the Arizona senator said.

The explanation fits with his history of railing against wasteful federal spending. But it does not fit with McCain's comments when he opposed the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.

In 2001, McCain said the tax cuts favored the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. In 2003, he said there should be no tax cuts until the Iraq war costs were known.

Bottom line, McCain sucks.
