Who's the real Dr. No? (pt. 2)

Earlier today, the Obama campaign called attention to this quote from Saturday's Wall Street Journal:

“A spokesman for Sen. McCain said that while he ‘applauds the bipartisan effort,’ he wouldn't support the proposal because ‘he cannot and will not support legislation that raises taxes.’"

Just to be clear, the taxes that McCain is concerned about are windfall profits taxes on oil companies -- the same companies who have reaped the biggest corporate profits in human history.

And now John McCain is willing to sacrifice a bipartisan effort to achieve energy independence in order to protect these companies from paying their fair share in taxes.

John McCain is the real Dr. No.
