» John McCain and Tax Confusion

Recently (here) I had a post about the respective tax policies of Senators Obama and McCain. Slate has more on Senator McCain and taxes, here, although as the writer (Timothy Noah) makes clear, it's not easy to tell exactly what the Senator really thinks.

The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger goes even further on the subject of Senator McCain and taxes, here, in an article entitled "Is John McCain Stupid?" An excerpt:

Is John McCain losing it?

On Sunday, he said on national television that to solve Social Security "everything's on the table," which of course means raising payroll taxes. On July 7 in Denver he said: "Senator Obama will raise your taxes. I won't."

This isn't a flip-flop. It's a sex-change operation.

Mr. Henninger continues:
