(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain Thursday admitted his idea of a gas tax "holiday" would not solve the problem of rising oil prices but said it would give low-income Americans "just a little break this summer."
Sen. John McCain appears at a town hall meeting in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Wednesday.
"That's all this is about," the presumptive GOP nominee told CNN. "This is not the end of western civilization. This does not solve our dependence on foreign oil. It gives low-income Americans -- who drive further with older automobiles and are bearing the brunt of this -- a little bit of a break for the summer."
McCain, as well as Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, has called for a hiatus in the 18.4 cent-a-gallon federal gas tax between Memorial Day and Labor Day -- a period when vacationing Americans spend the most time on the road.

Republican strategist and conservative writer Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, said today that the 2008 Presidential election is beginning to line up as one of the most clear-cut ideological electoral choices of modern times, and that the proven and enduring success of conservative policies can again prevail this November, ushering in a new era of policy-driven momentum for 21st century conservatism.
Michael will discuss the 2008 Presidential primary and general elections, the current state of the global war against Islamic terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere, the challenges confronting American health care and solutions to them, and why expanded American economic growth through market-driven policies, not massive federal income redistribution schemes, is the key to strengthening America at home and abroad. He says that the outcome of the 2008 Presidential election will prove a defining moment for the nation.
A New Jersey-based health care executive, Michael has over 20 years of global public policy and national political experience, having served as a White House speechwriter to former President George H. W. Bush, a senior aide to a United States Senator and Governor, and a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Michael has appeared on PBS, CNBC, C-SPAN, Fox News, and other networks and has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, National Review, Policy Review, and other publications. He currently authors one of the most widely-read conservative public policy blogs on the World Wide Web, available at:

As a conservative interested in cutting taxes and limiting government spending, Grover Norquist is largely pleased with Sen. John McCain as the probable Republican presidential nominee. The president of Americans for Tax Reform says McCain's fiscal priorities are in line with classic Reagan principles that the party has stood for.Norquist spent years helping to build the Republican coalition that dominated Congress and the White House — until it collapsed in 2006. He says President Bush's occupation with Iraq took the focus off conservative principles. read more »
