Excerpts from McCain's Remarks in Columbus, Ohio

All: Please see excerpt from John McCain's remarks at the McCain-Palin rally today in Columbus, Ohio:

"Senator Obama is a fan of all that spending because he's always cheering for higher taxes or against tax relief.  He's voted that way 94 different times.

"Two times, on March 14, 2008 and June 4, 2008, in the Democratic budget resolution, he voted to raise taxes on people making just 42,000 dollars per year.  He even said at the time that this vote for higher taxes on the middle class was 'getting our nation's priorities back on track.'  Then something amazing happened: on Friday night, he looked the American people in the eye and said it never happened.  My friends, we need a President who will always tell the American people the truth."
