Mr. Senator, Please Define Consistent

This is a very simple case of McCain’s camp saying one thing, and McCain’s record saying another. Watch the clip compilation below and see if you notice the huge inconsistency. Important transcript below the video…

Scott: “But Douglas, as you know, John McCain has been criticized by Mitt Romney and others for having voted against the Bush tax cuts, the first time around. Has he changed his mind on that now or is this simply because these are different times?”

McCain Advisor Holtz-Eakin: “John McCain has said consistently that the tax cuts should be made permanentâ€¦” (Fox News’ ” Happening Now,” 1/22/08)

Tim Russert: “Since the Civil War, every president who has been at war has increased taxes. Should the president consider postponing his tax cut?”

Maverick: “I would have â€“ I voted against the tax cuts because of the disproportionate amount that went to the wealthiest Americans. I would clearly support not extending those tax cuts in order to help address the deficit. But the middle-income tax credits, the families, the child tax credits, the marriage tax credits, all of those I would keep.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 4/11/04)

Oh for heaven’s sake, Justin, drop this inconsistency thing with McCain. Romney is the ultimate in inconsistency. It’s not even close. And stop with the tax cuts litmus test for conservatives, too. Each of us owes $30,000 on the debt. Every man, woman and child owes that much.

No, you can’t have your money back. It’s already been spent. If you want to get all hot and bothered about financial matters, find someone who talks about cutting spending. That’s the only thing that matters.

Just wanted to say thank you…

for reminding me how SCREWED our party is!

Seriously, all people had to do was research the records and look at the facts and nominate Fred Thompson and all would be right with the world.

But no…..

Bastards!
