Or at least the John McCain of 2008 would call the John McCain of 2000 a "socialist"

Highlights

Regarding the Bush tax cuts

Quote:

?I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief,? he wrote in a statement at the time.

On the Hardball college tour with Chris Matthews, answering a question from a doctor's daughter about why her father had to pay so much more in taxes because he was successful.

Quote:

MCCAIN: I think your question -- questioning the fundamentals of a progressive tax system where people who make more money pay more in taxes than a flat, across-the-board percentage. I think it's to some degree because we feel, obviously, that wealthy people can afford more.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I still don't see how the -- how that's fair. Isn't the definition of slavery basically where you work and all your money goes? I'm not saying this is slavery, I'm saying that isn't the defin -- are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism and stuff, when you have -- you have some people paying 60 percent overall in a year of their money to taxes. That's their money, not the government's. How is that fair? I haven't understood it.

MCCAIN: Could I point out, one of the fundamentals of a town hall meeting is, we respect the views of others, and let them speak. So, look, here's what I really believe, that when you are -- reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.

Funny that you say that. I read this on the MSNBC blog, started this thread, went downstairs and started up the recording of last night's Daily Show and said "oh shit, they see that exactly the way I did"
