McCain, No Friend to the Middle Class

I don’t get it. John McCain spent 25 years in the Senate voting against government controls over business. That is part of the conservative definition; keep government out of private business. He, like other conservatives, believes that private business will do just fine on its own. He echoed those thoughts on Monday when he said that the economy was just fine.

Then the roof fell in. Lehman Bros. went bankrupt, Merrill Lynch was bought out, AIG was bailed out with money from the government (money our middle class taxes will have to pay back). Now, all of a sudden, on Wednesday McCain is for the little guy, now all of a sudden he wants the controls he so abhorred before.

How can any middle class worker fall for this? How can anyone believe a turncoat? How can any middle class person, whatever the color, gender, faith, possibly vote for him?
