Who Dropped the Box of Talking Points?

Tucker Bounds, McCain campaign spokesman issued the following statement on Mr. Obama’s speech:

"No amount of rhetoric can hide Senator Obama's clear record of embracing the liberal tax and spend, big government policies that hit hardworking American families at a time when they're most vulnerable, and are certain to move America backward."

This has all the appearance of a poem constructed from refrigerator magnets. In the dark.

I imagine the scene at Straight Talking Points Express headquarters:

Let's see. We got liberal ... check. Tax and spend ... check. Big government ... check. Hardworking American families ... check. Okay ... Wait, we forgot throw under the bus. Never mind. Just clump what we have all together and we're good to go.

How, exactly, does government spending during a recession hurt the working class? And what part of taxing the rich might they not like? And far be it from me to introduce facts when we're talking back to Republicans, but a quick look at the proposals in Obama's speech shows ... what's this? Tax cuts for lower income families:

To help low- and middle-income families, I've proposed a 10 percent mortgage interest tax credit that will allow homeowners who don't itemize their taxes to access incentives for home ownership.

[...]

To reward work and make retirement secure, we'll provide an income tax cut of up to $1000 for a working family, and eliminate income taxes altogether for any retiree making less than $50,000 per year.

The statement from Tucker "Out Of" Bounds would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that so many mouthbreathers will, as usual, mindlessly eat it up and spit it back out.
