Kimodo Dragon or Tammy Peep?

And for some strange reason, I wasn’t invited. Maybe that’s because they think I’m like that gigantic lizard that almost bit off the foot of Sharon Stone’s (now ex) husband. Or not. Morrissey at Hot Air has the details for you. Also, don’t miss the comments section. Some insightful (and snarky) commentary.

John McCain held another blogger conference call, and started off talking about his effort to reach out to “areas that haven’t been able to participate” in economic expansion. The biggest lesson to be learned from the War on Poverty is that local control and local government is the key to success. Big federal bureaucracies just get in the way. He visited the Katrina-hit areas and toured the devastated areas, and later spoke about improving the response to future disasters.

On the economy, McCain says to anyone who wants to pay higher taxes: “I’m not your guy.” Spending is the problem, not revenue, including a 940% increase in earmarks over the last 12 years. He wants to keep capital-gains tax rates low in order to maintain and increase the revenue from them. “Anyone who wants to raise taxes in tough economic times lacks a fundamental understanding of economics.” […]

McCain’s next stop will be in Arkansas, where he will make appearances with Mike Huckabee. Afterwards, he goes to Florida for some fundraising, and next week, he’ll start talking about health care and get back on the bus with the media.

Sheesh. Huckabee and a bus and ‘health care.’ The one way a bus can help us with health care is one that takes illegal aliens back to Mexico. When we stop paying for free health care for 20 million foreign nationals, then all of our health care costs will go down, ranging from your insurance policy to the cost of doctor visits, emergency room services and even prescription drugs. You don’t even need a bus to send people back–they’ll self-deport when when free medical care dries up. Somehow, though, I don;t think that’s part of McCain’s plan.
