A Christmas Gift from John McCain

So, Mitt Romney has decided to attack John McCain (which, I suppose, is to be expected since McCain is gaining in New Hampshire). The exchange that’s gone on between these candidates is highly entertaining. According to Foxnews.com, it goes a little something like this:
“Right now Senator McCain and I are both battling for your support and your vote. He’s a good man but we have differing views on this. He voted against the Bush tax cuts. He voted against eliminating the death tax forever, and so we’ve got some differing views here,” Romney said.
“I believe in pushing taxes down. I also believe in trade around the world and that’s a place where Senator McCain and I agree.”
McCain’s campaign didn’t take long to fire back, needling Romney on the tax issue as well as a number of the former Massachusetts governor’s recent public relations gaffes.
“Welcome to Mitt Romney’s bizarro world, in which everyone is guilty of his sins,” McCain adviser Mark Salter said.
Salter continued, saying Romney “didn’t support Ronald Reagan. He didn’t support President Bush’s tax cuts. He raised taxes in Massachusetts by $700 million. He knows John McCain is gaining on him so he does what any small varmint gun totin,’ civil rights marching, NRA endorsed fantasy candidate would do: he questions someone else’s credibility. ”
“New Hampshire is on to you, Mitt. Give it a rest. It’s Christmas.”
It is Christmas... God bless us, every one.
