The McCain radio ads running in Arizona are as pathetic as the candidate, they are the ‘same old pap’ by a very old sounding man.  These are some of the sorriest campaign commercials I have ever heard.

It is well known that McCain is a “Progressive”: ”American Progressives thought[think] the natural right principles of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution represented the greatest obstacle to political “progress” and “evolution.” In place of the U.S. Constitution, Progressivism proposed an administrative state whose purpose would be the unending quest of evolutionary “progress” and whose powers therefore would be unlimited.”(Woodrow Wilson, Progressivism, Liberalism)

We don’t need Progressives in the government! There are more than enough in the Demercrat Party.

“Progressive taxes do indeed spread the wealth a bit. But they do so much more modestly than government owning the means of production.

Few serious policy makers — including McCain — consider progressive taxation socialist. In fact, on the Oct. 26, 2008 edition of NBC’s Meet the Press , McCain stood by a comment he made in 2000 that “there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more” in taxes when you “reach a certain level of comfort.” ( PolitiFact

(July 26, 2008)-A week ago, Jonathan Chait, a senior editor at the liberal magazine The New Republic wrote an opinion piece called “A McCain Presidency Wouldn’t Be So Bad,” despite the lukewarm title, Chait is quite pleased with the prospect of President McCain. Remembering McCain’s record in the Senate as a “maverick” liberal Republican, he lays it out:

“[John McCain] was an opponent, on moral and fiscal grounds, of tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefited the rich. He was also a fierce opponent of the extreme elements of the religious right. He was a proponent of global-warming legislation, the Law of the Sea Treaty, a moderate immigration bill, expanded public financing of elections, a tobacco tax, and many other liberal reforms…
McCain’s most longstanding conservative principle is his aversion to wasteful spending. But this has always sprung from an aversion to waste, not a Goldwater-esque opposition to government in principle. McCain’s reformist impulses on spending are far more congenial to the progressive vision.”(http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2008/07/mccain-the-coun.html)

Senator McCain needs to loudly denounce “Progressivism”, swear to become a Conservative Republican and start being one ASAP if he expects to retain his seat.
