Duplicity, thy name is McCain

Larry Kudlow, shaking his head over John McCain’s inconsistency:

Sen. John McCain delivered a nearly pluperfect supply-side tax-cut plan yesterday, one that is worthy of conservative support, and frankly a real eye-opener showing just how good he can be...

But then he goes on NBC’s Today Show this morning and gets the whole energy story wrong.

Hey Larry, it’s easy!  As soon as he faced the numbers, McCain embarked on a desperate effort to gain the support of the Republican base.  That means saying what the base wants to hear, whether he believes it or not.

But when he gets away from prepared remarks and into  less-structured situations the real McCain comes out– a John McCain who sounds very much like a Democrat.

McCain isn’t conservative, he’s just trying to play one long enough to get elected.

We went through this with Bush I and II.  Won’t be fooled again.
