McCain’s Got Some Splainin’ to do on Taxes
Posted by Andy on February 22nd, 2007
The Republican candidate (MCCAIN) who has sent out polished talking points stating he has never voted for a tax increase, has yet to put it formally in writing that he won’t raise taxes.
The two front-runners for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination — Arizona Sen. John McCain and former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani – have not signed an anti-tax-increase pledge that has been embraced by several of their rivals.
The reluctance of the party’s two leading candidates to sign the pledge, which has been signed by every Republican presidential nominee since 1988, raised concerns among conservative tax cutters about Mr. McCain’s and Mr. Giuliani’s commitment to reduce tax rates at a time when all of the Democratic presidential contenders have vowed to raise income taxes if they are elected. …
Chances are this is part of a plan by Mccain, let us unwashed conservative activists get all riled up, and swoop in at th elast second and sign the no new taxes pledge to pretend that he is responsive to the base. Which of course is just BS, but it is McCain, can we expect anything less?
