McCain's Conservative Moment

Conservatives and the political crack cocaine of earmarks.

(Page 2 of 2)

The idea that America doesn't have the money to fix its "infrastructure" without heading down the financial dead-end that is raising taxes yet again is, politely put, laughable. The idea that American conservatives don't have the will to lead a new generation of Americans to an understanding of the cold hard facts of economics, history -- and raw politics -- is not only not laughable, it is a disturbing tale of addiction. A tale that has now proved fatal to a number of Minnesotans.

It is a disappointment Senator McCain knows all too well. Maybe now someone will listen.
