McCain claims ‘everything is on the table’ to fix Social Security, then quickly takes an item off the table.»


During an interview with the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) contradicted himself in a matter of minutes regarding Social Security. When asked how he would “fix Social Security,” McCain first said, “You’ve got to say look, everything is on the table.” But then, minutes later, when asked if he favored “raising the cap,” McCain said, “No.” He then criticized Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for previously saying that raising the cap is “one possible option.”

McCain’s Social Security contradiction isn’t surprising considering he regularly denies his own record of support for privatization. In fact, just yesterday, McCain called the basic structure of Social Security “an absolute disgrace.”

3. He does but the media completely ignores it.

I've been an awake critic of the media for a long time, so maybe I'm just forgetting the things that aren't recent history, but I just don't remember more lopsided election coverage in my life.

The guy is making himself look like a complete moronic inept fool. And no one but the most dedicated observers know it.
