More McCain

John McCain promises to cut the budget, still can't tell voters exactly what he's going to be cutting. Evidently, after 30 years in the Senate, McCain doesn't yet know what government programs are expendable. (Hint- it rhymes with the Department of Meducation.)

I can accept that a liberal Democrat will campaign on false promises of hope and equality and rainbows and sunshines. What I have more trouble stomaching is a Republican who claims to want to tell the cold hard truth, but isn't really brave enough to actually do it. And then there are McCain's three areas of immediate action if elected:

He offered incentives to encourage and protect savings and retirement accounts, promised again to buy up bad mortgages to safeguard homeowners, and advocated incentives for small businesses that he said would create millions of new jobs.
