Gramm-pa McCain: Middle class tax cut is "welfare", uses "S-Word"

By GottaLaff

Middle class tax cuts are equivalent to welfare? Really, Gramm-pa? Hmm. Not so much. Actually, that word more likely describes what we'll all need if you manage to become--gulp--president:

John McCain stepped up his rhetoric against Barack Obama on taxes in his weekly radio address, comparing his plan to 'socialist' programs that would “convert the IRS into a giant welfare agency, redistributing massive amounts of wealth.”

[H]is most recent comments were the first time he directly invoked the word 'socialist.'

In the radio address that aired Saturday morning, McCain didn't directly call Obama a socialist, but he let the now-famous Joe 'the Plumber' Wurzelbacher nearly do it for him.

That must be the same Joe the Plumber who he apologized to on the Letterman show for, you know, all that needless, imposing media attention. It's good to see he's keeping shy, retiring Fake Plumber Joe out of the spotlight. Way to be consistent.

“You see, [Obama] believes in redistributing wealth, not in policies that help us all make more of it. Joe in his plainspoken way, said this sounded a lot like socialism,” McCain said.

Clearly, Gramm-pa uses Fake Joe the way he uses women... speaking or which:

Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin has used the word in speeches the last two days as well.

I have an S-word I'd like to use right now, but apparently, I have more self-control than Grammps and IWRC* Palin do.

*"In What Respect, Charlie?"
