Hear the flip-flops of Schmuck Talk

John McCain’s latest flip-flop is far from minor. Anybody familiar with the history of the modern Republican Party in general and George H.W. Bush in particular should know better than backing off a no-new taxes pledge, but that is exactly what Schmuck Talk Express™ is doing.

And, it’s not just any tax. Schmuck Talk wants to raise FICA taxes. Given that the Grover Norquist type fiscal conservatives, and Shrub the Insignificant in the White House, want to privatize Social Security, a Republican talking about raising Social Security taxes is pretty clueless.

It’s also another Schmuck Talk Flip-Flop against his own staff:

When Obama announced his plan June 13, McCain's top economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, told reporters that as president McCain would not consider a payroll tax increase “under any imagineable circumstance.”

Why does McCain even HAVE an economics staff when he’s always going off on his own, anyway?
