No. In layman's terms, you give large corporations and the rich massive tax cuts/breaks, they in turn spend and spend and it's believed that those benefits of them spending will stimulate the economy and it will "trickle" down to us lower scum in the forms of jobs and whatnot.
well more specifically its tax breaks for the upper class since they are the biggest investors in the stock market. this is supposed to help publicly traded businesses grow, in turn creating more jobs, etc. in other words it has NOTHING to do directly with small business.
edit: also, clinton never employed the supply-side economic theory and in fact reversed the tax policies of reagan-bush. ahhh good ol' sithsaber shooting fresh chunks of excrement out his ass again

However, the philosophies that Reagan et al. focus on do promote small businesses (I mean like Friedman and the like, unless I just read what I want into them, lol). Unfortunatly reality never works that way.
it is understandable that someone might get that confused
I didn't know of him, but yeah. Other celebrities like Kelesy Grammar and Sylvester Stallone support the Republican party, but that's only because they have money.
Guess if you want to be a Republican leader in California, you have to be a celebrity. Much like you want to be a Democrat president, you need to be from Dixieland.
On a resolution condemning the vigilante murder of a doctor who performed abortions, McCain was one of only 8 Senators who voted against it. Even current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted for the resolution.
But the point of the article is that McCain is an uncompromising anti-choice flagbearer, despite the appearance of moderation.

Geez, I didn't know that one. Murdering an abortion doctor does nothing to prevent abortions and McCain should've supported that resolution.
That said, McCain's voting record pretty much establishes his position. People's perception of him as moderate on the issue is just that...their perceptions. (his comments about not overturning Roe in the near future notwithstanding, his voting record speaks for itself)
"Murdering an abortion doctor does nothing to prevent abortions" don't conservatives usually think, killing people who disagree is the only way they'll learn? I must say sithsaber, that really shocked me.
Well then you obviously didn't even read the article, that anecdote is clearly in there. He doesn't have to say it outright, his comments that he would nominate judges to the Supreme Court "in the line of Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito" says it all: he seeks to overturn Roe
Also in the article: There were 130 reproductive health-related votes in the Senate that McCain has participated in: McCain voted with the anti-choice crowd in 125 of them.
