McCain Preparing Economic Plan


Sam Stein obtained an email from Sen. John McCain's chief of staff that suggested the Arizona senator was putting together a major economic plan structured, in some ways, off of Newt Gingrich's famous "Contract With America."

The email asked an outside adviser for help with a "ten principles" program that the senator could use as a "definitive" platform to rescue America's economy. However, the only policy guidance given was "No Tax Increases."

The fact that McCain is going to outside consultants suggests he "is laying the groundwork for more comprehensive opposition."

Stein's article here:

9. More like "Contract on America"
:wtf: does Johnny the Kept Husband know about the economy? According to him last year on the campaign trail, he knew very little in his own words. And, why the hell does he think he's in charge of fixing the economy?! How dumb...please don't tell me he's revving up to try again?

12. The old goat thinks he's still running for president
Someone should wake him up from his pharmaceutical-induced haze and tell him the election is over--sorry, Pops, you lost, big-time.
