    McCain was actually against the Bush tax cuts before he was for them. Actually, he wasn't against tax cuts per se, he was against tax cuts WITHOUT CORRESPONDING SPENDING CUTS. He was right about that, of course, but as Duke Cheney said, "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter", so the Republican Party repealed "PAYGO" budgeting as soon as they came to power, and combined two big tax cuts with huge spending increases to turn the budget surplus they inherited from the Democtats into the biggest binge of deficit spending and borrowing since WWII.

    So McCain has now learned to toe the new Party line, which is that more tax cuts are always the solution to every economic problem, spending cuts are "aspirational" but not mandatory, and borrowing from foreigners to cover the resulting deficit isn't really so bad. Excuse me while I puke.

    Apparently you've learned to judge a man based on six words taken out of context.
