McCain the Flip-Flopper on Tax Cuts
John McCain claims he voted against Bush's tax cuts because it didn't reign in spending. Tim Russert correctly reminds McCain of this quote from April 11, 2004:
I hate the term "flip-flopper" because every politician changes his mind on at least one issue over his lifetime (or in the case of Hillary, over the course of a day). But if McCain throws stones, he should be careful about breaking his own glass house.
*Update*
When asked by Russert whether McCain would sign the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Bill today, he responded, "Yeah, but..."
SEN. McCAIN: I voted against the tax cuts because of the disproportional amount that went to the wealthiest Americans. I would clearly support not extending those tax cuts in order to help address the deficit.
