McCain’s liberal idea

October 8th, 2008 at 12:34am Chuck Sweeny

Is it just me, or do you think that John McCain looked like a really, really grumpy old man Tuesday night? I know he can’t stand Barack Obama, but did he have to refer to him as “that one?”

If you analyze what he said, McCain also switched from being a conservative back to being a liberal, which conservatives have suspected all along. After all, he’s been palling around with known liberals like Joe Lieberman and Russ Feingold for years.

McCain, in case you missed it, essentially offered to buy millions of  mortgages and let the cash-strapped homeowners who bought more house than they could pay for, off the hook.

 Now, I think that’s better than bailing out bad banks, but this is a liberal idea, not a conservative one. It’s so liberal that Obama didn’t even respond to McCain’s vow to do it.

That’s mavericky, I guess. “Tina” Palin would understand, you betcha.

    Lieberman is really more of a moderate. As was McCain up until around 2000.
