		<description>John McCain is out of touch with the disabled population.  He does not care about people with disabilities at all. I am very up-set with John McCain because he voted against Community Choice, Act. 2007; (S. 799) improving lives of citizens with disabilities and Senator Tom Harking, (D)
Senator Ted Kennedy, (D) Senator Harlen Spec tor (R) has worked so hard making changes to improve lives of citizen with disabilities

I am very angry with John McCain because I have every right to be up-set and very disappointed with Senator John McCain, (R) for voting against Community Choice, Act. 2007 (S. 799) at time when People with disabilities are crying for help.

		<description>John McCain changes his story just get elected he says he is for tax cuts and he opposed against the Bush Tax cut. One if elected to the White House he will not support the tax cuts knowing John McCain is nothing but a lier anyway I do not believe him one bit. John McCain is nothing but full of baloney anyway.

I do not trust John McCain to be next President because he will make life difficult for people with disabilities to live in the community he thinks people with disabilities should be institutionalized against their will. He voted against the Community Choice, Act. 2007 (S.799); that people with disabilities cost too much to served them in the Community.

John McCain opposes against the Americans with Disabilities, Act,. 1990, He opposes against Special Education for Children with disabilities he thinks it is just too costly. John McCain is got rocks in his heard.

		<description>Well, Beth, since they deleted my prior comment, I'll just leave you with this:

&lt;blockquote&gt;"I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief."--John McCain, May 2001&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;""The tax cut is not appropriate until we find out the cost of the war and the cost of reconstruction."---John McCain, 2003&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;“They want to make the tax cuts for higher-income people permanent, and I don’t want that.”---John McCain, 2004&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;I voted against the tax cuts &lt;b&gt;because of the disproportionate amount that went to the wealthiest Americans.&lt;/b&gt; 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.”---John McCain (on Meet the Press), 2004&lt;/blockquote&gt;

(Note: McCain now says he would have supported the tax cuts if Congress had reduced spending.  McCain never mentioned spending before, &lt;em&gt;except concerning the Iraq war&lt;/em&gt;.

But let's go to the real source.  The Club For Growth on McCain in 2007:

&lt;blockquote&gt;While Senator McCain’s economic record contains a number of pro-growth positions, such as his support for school choice and free trade, and his steadfast opposition to wasteful government spending, &lt;b&gt;his overall record is tainted by a marked antipathy towards the free market and individual freedom.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, I am not sure of the meaning of "hack" but Steve Forbes is really an "interesting" character. His main asset is his last name, and the fact that at least he has not ran his grand father legacy into the ground.

Contrary to what a young capitalist might think, Steve Forbes did not make his own fortune, he was born into it, so in my personal view his accomplishments are meritless (just because he has failed to create wealth of his own). Don't ge me wrong, there are plenty of scions out there that despite (or because of) being born into wealth have managed to create their own empires, like William Gates for instance, or Warren Buffet. Those guys are true blood thirsty capitalists. Forbes is just a rich clown compared to them.

The funny thing, is that Forbes considers himself the king of capitalism (very similar to his father in that regard). 

He ran fro president a couple times, but he failed dramatically, his flat tax platform was soundly rejected at that time (in 1996 in particular the defeat was embarrasing) which gets to show us that in the US people are not really interested on the thing (which exception of rich kids like Forbes himself).
 
He suffers from the same delusion that FreedomWorks spouses, he actually believes there is such a thing like earned and non earned income, and worse yet, that there is a difference between them. Meaning that non-earned income should not be taxed at all (how convenient, in particular coming from someone that receives almost all of his compensation in non-earned income money).

So there you have it, in my personal view, clown is a better adjective for Forbes.</description>

		<description>"Steve Forbes has endorsed John McCain and joined his team."

Well, that's enough for me to know that McCain is all wrong on taxes.   :)

"Let me ask, are you a supporter of the Freedom Works agenda?"

Ummm, no...why don't you read a little here before you start trying to insult anyone here Beth?</description>

		<description>Eh, Forbes is a hack.  Brendan's McCain attack is right on, actually.  McCain was against the tax cuts before he was for them.  McCain can't even explain &lt;em&gt;why he wouldn't vote for his own immigration bill&lt;/em&gt;.

Don't get me wrong, McCain's clearly the best on the Republican side, but every time I watch those guys they sound batsh!t insane.</description>

:D

I guess Forbes knows a little more about McCain's commitment to the tax cuts than Brendan does, huh?</description>
