That's fine.

McCain Urges Supporters to Sign Petition Opposing Stimulus

The problem with McCain's statement is that it's misleading. He opposes the current stimulus but is happy to support a "lite" version of the current stimulus.

Furthermore, as the details of his Gang of 10's alternative proposal have come out today, the "tax cuts" are temporary, meaning that next year, Americans get hit with a de facto tax increase, just as they would be emerging from the recession.

DeMint's plan includes permanent and more extensive tax cuts, including a total and permanent repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Thanks for the clarification. It's good for everyone to note the differences, so I'll repeat.

McCain’s Temporary tax cuts got us into this, McCain would sell us out cheap. If republicans are going to help democrats bankrupt the nation, at least force rats to vote for perm tax cuts, so later they actually have to raise them if they want them raised, next year.
