This kind of stuff is red meat for conservatives -- they just hate it. In fact, it's what they hate most about John McCain. Of course, his rhetoric and tone have completely changed over the last couple of months, but here is the senator from Arizona, on April 12, 2008:
And I'm sorry to tell you that the price of oil -- as far as I can tell -- is not gonna go down anytime soon until we eliminate our dependency on it.
We can do that as a nation -- we can turn out the lights five minutes earlier, we don't have to drive the extra block.
After the backstabbing delivered to Larry Kudlow by the McCain campaign, perhaps true conservatives (not the neocons) ought to consider whether they'd be better off if McCain didn't win the presidency -- because if he does win, who knows in which direction he'll go?
