Whose Tax Plan Benefits You The Most?
The Washington Post has analyzed the proposed tax plans from both Barack Obama and John McCain, and surprise! If you make less than $111,000 a year, you are better off with Obama’s tax plan. And double surprise! McCain’s tax plan gives the most relief to the very, very wealthy among us.

McCain’s Weakness? National Security
Listen to what former four-star General Wesley Clark has to say about John McCain. “I know he’s trying to get traction by seeking to play to what he thinks is his strong suit of national security. The truth is that, in national security terms, he’s largely untested and untried. He’s never been responsible for policy formulation. He’s never had leadership in a crisis, or in anything larger than his own element on an aircraft carrier or [in managing] his own congressional staff. It’s not clear that this is going to be the strong suit that he thinks it is.”
Here’s more, from Clark’s appearance on MSNBC.

Bush’s Third Term
Now that John McCain is running for President, he wants you to believe that he represents change from George W. Bush, but before he was running for President, he was quite proud of his support for Bush’s policies — his “active and very empassioned” support.

Flip Flop Flip Flop Flip Flop
John McCain wants you to think he never was in favor of destroying privatizing Social Security. Don’t believe him.

Bush Lied
Hundreds of thousands of people died. From a newly released report from the Senate Intelligence Committee:
--Statements and implications by the President and Secretary of State suggesting that Iraq and al-Qa'ida had a partnership, or that Iraq had provided al-Qa'ida with weapons training, were not substantiated by the intelligence.
--Statements by the President and the Vice President indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups for attacks against the United States were contradicted by available intelligence information.
--Statements by President Bush and Vice President Cheney regarding the postwar situation in Iraq, in terms of the political, security, and economic, did not reflect the concerns and uncertainties expressed in the intelligence products.
--Statements by the President and Vice President prior to the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate regarding Iraq's chemical weapons production capability and activities did not reflect the intelligence community's uncertainties as to whether such production was ongoing.
--The Secretary of Defense's statement that the Iraqi government operated underground WMD facilities that were not vulnerable to conventional airstrikes because they were underground and deeply buried was not substantiated by available intelligence information.
--The Intelligence Community did not confirm that Muhammad Atta met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001 as the Vice President repeatedly claimed.
