How Cynical Is McCain?
ByThis much:
McCain campaigned on rural broadband as a way to stimulate the entire American economy. In fact it was a centerpiece of one of his economic plans: "Broadband access needs to be a top priority." But now that he's senator, he's against it. In fact, he brought it up on FOX news last week as being the epitome of wasteful and unnecessary spending, but I've been to a campaign rally where he campaigned for it.
And he once introduced legislation supporting it. There's a helpful piece on rural broadband here. It strikes me as a classic bit of counter-cyclical spending. As for McCain? We learned what he is in the last campaign: an appalling fraud.
