Good for McCain here. His Maverickness is deciding to be a Republican today. It's an easy call, and it's also the right one. Calling it generational theft, i.e. printing money we don't have and spending it on things we don't need.
Now, if only that McCain had shown up in September of 2008 and decided to oppose the Paulson bank bailout fiasco that led to no increased bank lending, office redecorating, bonuses and learjets.
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
