Senator John McCain spoke Tuesday about the focal points of his campaign. His speech called for "calling for tax cuts, a freeze of discretionary spending for a year, higher premiums for better-off Medicare recipients and elimination of federal gas taxes this summer to reinvigorate the sagging economy." These sound like vacuous, lofty promises, especially the gas price reduction, on McCain's behalf. The damage that our economy has sustained over the past four years could potentially be irreparable, and I think it's insulting of McCain to attempt to say that the solution is as simple as the speech on Tuesday painted it.

I think you might be missing the point. I'm not sure if you've listened to his plan on cutting taxes and supporting the war, Medicare, and the gas tax cut, but it IS all quite simple.
You see, McCain is actually a wizard. Among some of his amazing abilities he has the power to spin hair into gold to support the tax cuts and the war. Also, he has an army of unicorns that are going to spread peace and democracy all over the world.
But, seriously, that dude is nuts. The economy is already taking enough damage from the war without further tax cuts. I really hope he is just spouting BS to help his bid for the White House. I think I would be a lot more scared if I actually thought he was serious about that stuff.

Every presidential candidate is going to have big promises and ideas. there is not enough time for a candidate to carry out all the ideas, but they must focus on the important ones.
