Title: Did McCain spokesman mock his boss on national TV?
Post by: 240 is Back on July 30, 2008, 09:04:12 PM

Republican presidential candidate John McCain shook up his conservative supporters on Sunday when he suggested that he might be prepared to raise Social Security taxes.

By Tuesday, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds had gone on Fox News to perform damage control, insisting repeatedly, "There is no imaginable circumstance where John McCain would raise payroll taxes. It’s absolutely out of the question. ... There's no imaginable circumstance where he would raise taxes."

MSNBC's Dan Abrams asked his guests, "Did I miss something there? Or did John McCain just say it is on the table and then his campaign spokesperson almost mocked it, as if, 'Oh, don't listen to that guy. Come on. He doesn't represent the campaign.'"

I didn't even think about that, but yes.  My fear is that ends up being true of all major political candidates.  My hope is not.  Good catch.
