I was listening to a basically non-partisan radio show today, and a McCain supporter called in to say that the thing he was most worried about was Obama's plan to cut taxes for the middle class and lower; "after all," the reasoning went, "the middle class pays most of the taxes in this country, and he wants to cut their taxes? That's a terrible idea in this economic environment."
This Republican citing a plan to lower taxes (and misunderstanding the numbers involved) as a reason to vote against a candidate was made even more ironic by the fact that he came immediately after another caller who had eloquently and convincingly argued that most people voting for McCain are just grasping at straws to avoid voting for the black man.
