The Debate Question I'd Like To Hear Asked

"Senator McCain, in 2001 you opposed Bush's plan to cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans. You opposed it again in 2003, citing the rising deficit. During your campaign, you have reversed course and endorsed the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Our deficit is now the highest it has been in our history, and Congress is debating this week a bailout proposal that will likely add a trillion dollars to that deficit. If tax cuts for the wealthiest were wrong in 2001 and 2003, when the deficit was lower, why are they right in 2009?"

Great question - right on Jen! I'm enjoying your posts, thanks for calling out McSame on a remarkably cynical and hypocritical campaign.
