by Roland F. Hirsch - Oct. 1, 2008

The author of this opinion piece gives away his bias when he calls McCain a "neoconservative", which everyone knows is nonesense. McCain's record is distorted in numerous places. The ideology driving this piece is evident when the author uses the code phrase "Bush's tax cuts for the rich", when they were tax rate cuts. The rich ended up with a substantial tax INCREASE. The sources quoted are from the far left and far right, and not mainstream or well informed. No Michael Barones are evident.
