A McSame question...can anybody help?

[av8rdave]

Not long ago, I saw a list of McCain flip - flops that I can't seem to relocate.

I THOUGHT I saw one regarding McCain initially opposing the Bush regressive tax cuts.

Can anybody verify or debunk that for me?

It would seem to me that if McCain EVER opposed the Bush tax cuts, that seriously undercuts his attacks on Obama's tax policy. After all, Obama's plan to raise taxes on high income earners is essentially undoing Bush's tax cuts. If McCain ever opposed those, that needs to be pointed out to the electorate.

1. here's one

http://www.bi30.org/wordpress/flipflopper.htm

Flip: Opposed George Bush's proposed "tax cuts for the wealthy" during the 2000 Presidential campaign:
"I don’t believe the wealthiest 10% of Americans should get 60% of the tax breaks. I think the lowest 10% should get the breaks." - 1/5/00

again in 2001:
“I am disappointed that the Senate Finance Committee preferred instead to cut the top tax rate of 39.6% to 36%, thereby granting generous tax relief to the wealthiest individuals of our country at the expense of lower- and middle-income American taxpayers.” - 5/21/01

And again in 2003:
“But when you look at the percentage of the tax cuts that–as the previous tax cuts–that go to the wealthiest Americans, you will find that the bulk of it, again, goes to wealthiest Americans.” - 1/7/03


Flop: During an Interview on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos", McCain debated the term "wealthy"
(Making "finger-quotes in the air) "Oh, yes, sure, the wealthy, the wealthy. Always be interested in when people talk about who the, quote, “wealthy” are in America. I find it interesting."
