McCain cast self as middle-class guardian
By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer Glen Johnson, Associated Press Writer – 2 mins ago

WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Evoking "Joe the Plumber" in his pivotal home state, Republican John McCain on Sunday cast himself as the guardian of middle-class workers and small-business owners who fuel the economy.

"If I'm elected president, I won't raise taxes on small businesses, as Sen. (Barack) Obama clearly wants to do, and force them to cut jobs," McCain said of his Democratic opponent during a rally at Otterbein College. "I will keep small business taxes where they are, help them keep their costs low and let them spend their earnings to create more jobs. We need that in Ohio. We need it across America."

McCain was flying from the Columbus suburbs northward to Toledo, near where "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher lives, amid the GOP's push for this pivotal swing state and its 20 electoral votes.

snip...
"Sen. Obama is more interested in controlling who gets your piece of the pie than he is in growing the pie," McCain told a crowd of several thousand.

2. My Friends. That ship has sailed with the bush betrayal of the middle class.
McCain ended the debate saying how he would be a steward of your money. Where was he from 2002 to 2006 when the GOP dumped our national treasury into Iraq, Saudi Arabia, bridges to nowhere and every gop pig pork project in America?
