John McCain Does Not Speak for John McCain
| July 27th, 2008I find this to be utterly hilarious:
The Tax Policy Center prepared an interesting report (pdf) this week, noting the key differences between the economic policies articulated by John McCain and the economic policies presented by John McCain’s presidential campaign. There’s a bit of a gap — to the tune of $2.8 trillion (that’s “trillion,” with a “t”).
[...]
How does the McCain campaign respond to this? As it turns out, hilariously.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain’s chief economic adviser, told Slate, “[McCain] has certainly I’m sure said things in town halls” that don’t jibe perfectly with his written plan. But that doesn’t mean it’s official.”
Got that? If we want to better understand John McCain’s economic policies, we should overlook what John McCain says about his economic policies. McCain’s “official” positions don’t come from McCain.
And how could they? I mean, it’s just crazy to assume that just because John McCain says something that he actually means it! That would be insanity.
I used to have some respect for John McCain, back about eight years or so ago. Oh well.

The McCain campaign did the same thing on AA.

Not really TOO shocking - since the guy’s now campaigning against his OWN immigration bill … but still running the dial up to at least 8 to 9 on the surreal-scale … Salvador Dali would be green with envy.

Well come on. Who would you rather run against? A charismatic, hopeful figure, or some rusty old battleaxe? McCain is just behaving rationally. ;)
