Some Straight Talk, My Friends: By McCain's Standards, He Voted For 477 Tax Increases

The Obama campaign continues hammering McCain on his bogus line of argument about taxes, this time with a new web video that illustrates that by the very same standard that McCain applies to Obama, McCain has voted for 477 tax increases -- far more than the 94 he accuses Obama of having supported.

Here's the new Obama web video:

The ad also points out that during the same period of time that McCain accuses Obama of 94 tax increases, he voted (by his own standards) for 105 increases.

I just have to say once again how awesome it is to have a Democratic candidate who not only fights back, but fights back hard, and fights back effectively.

McCain has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth. Use it freely.

I totally agree, from now on, Democratic candidates will be compared to their ability to institute an "Obama counterpunch". No more, "acting like Dukakis,Gore, and Kerry."
