If This Gets Out, McCain is Done. Period.

For those of us following the election, it’s become clear McCain’s final strand of hope over the last couple of weeks has been calling Obama a socialist. This tiny, tenuous foothold was given to him by Obama when he said the phrase, “spread the wealth” when talking to the now famous Joe the Plumber.
That’s it. That’s what McCain has at this point. And he’s been trying to ride it all the way to election day.
And it’s also why the following quote, if effectively communicated, equates to the end of McCain’s campaign. Quite simply, McCain was asked at a townhall meeting if it was fair for the rich to pay more in taxes. Here’s was his answer:
When you reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.
Outlandish propaganda, right?. Nope. Here’s the video:
He follows it up by saying it shouldn’t be an outrageous difference (it shouldn’t be totally out of proportion), but that’s consistent with Obama’s plan, so he gets absolutely no points there. The bottom line is that the woman accused the concept of a progressive tax policy of being socialist, and John McCain openly refuted it–on video. He essentially made, while being recorded, the exact argument of the Obama campaign.
Oh, and remember when he said he’s never flip-flopped on an issue? Well, this is just about as blatant as it gets. Pass this along so we can expose McCain for the flip-flopping career politician he really is. If enough people see this it will cut the final thread of deception-based hope their campaign has.
Note to the Obama campaign: Do an actual, professional campaign video on this. And encourage the viral spreading of said video. If you get this message out, it’s game over.
