Courting the Climate Vote in Pennsylvania
2 hours ago
News and commentary on why America needs Barack Obama at this moment in our history.
There is a scathing new article up on the conservative New Republic that unloads on John McCain for his contradictory promises over the last week. It's a must-read.
John McCain's fantastical pledge on Monday to balance the budget by 2013 through massive tax cuts and unidentified budget reductions deserved the bad reviews it received. But the most unfortunate element of his incoherent promise is that it's representative of his policy agenda these days.
While the McCain campaign is trying to paint Barack Obama as a flip-flopper, the Arizona Republican is making diametrically opposed policy promises to different audiences at the same time. The contradictions are often in the details, but their obscurity is evidence of the campaign's cynicism.
