Would that be John Sidney McCain III?

Geez, I don’t know what problem conservatives have with McCain. He’s a liar, which history shows is high on the list of attributes they love, ie, bush.

We’re going to beat this mental retard’s ass like a pinada in November. What a clueless fucking dope.

ahh good ol’ McCain. Is there no flap that the media won’t gloss over or pretend didn’t really happen? I suspect he will have to eat a baby on live TV for the straight talk express to hit a bump in the road. Imagine if Kerry had said it in 2004 . . . .

If we’ve learned anything from the last seven years it should be this: Never trust a Republican with your money. It’s like letting a drug addict hold your stash.

Perhaps from The Wall Street Journal, which on Nov. 26, 2005, published this quote from an interview with McCain: “I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”

Which is pretty remarkable in of itself , considering you were a POW for 5 years and are part of the “cowboy diplomacy” mindset ; meaning you don’t know jack fucking shit about the military and/or diplomacy , you wrinkled , stupid senile old douchebag……….

The public are increasingly tuning the MSM out. They can’t save McStain’s bacon.

In a related subject. Both Reagan and Bush cut taxes and made the claim that tax revenues went up ( see it works, cutting taxes for the corporations and rich raises tax revenue ). But what isn’t said and the MSM failed to point out, as they cut taxes they both borrowed trillions of dollars and push it into the economy. Each time those trillions of dollars change hands in the economy, does it not contribute to the tax revenue? My opinion is, that is where the increase tax revenues came from. We now owe more than 8.5 trillion dollars. To use simple figures, if we are paying 5% interest on 10 trillion dollars a year, that comes out to 500 billion dollars of interest we (the tax payers) must pay a year.
My God, what are we doing? Stop the insanity. Ron Paul is correct, get rid of the FED.

Thankfully, we have advisers. I don’t expect a President to be the sole solution to governmental problems.

In a way, I’d rather people not ‘understand’ the economy if that means succumbing to the neoclassical economics line of BS (ala’ greenspan). If someone doesn’t understand a diverse array of economic thought, I’d rather them go by common sense.

It’s really quite simple. You CANNOT cut taxes and increase spending. That is insane. So, in order to stimulate the economy, there are going to be tax cuts of some kind. That money will have to be made up somewhere. Which program gets the axe? Betcha it ain’t the military. IF the economic downturn continues as it is, the next President of the US will have the shortest voter honeymoon, in the history of the US and will not survive beyond one term.

If you saw or heard of Busch’s latest budget - $3Trillion, 50-70%cuts to domestic programs, especially those that help the neediest - than you already know the answer.

Mr. McCan’t, maybe you don’t; want to meet Mr. Howard Dean but you will get to know him very well in the near future.

Yep, and if the recession is severe, that will be just a drop in the bucket for the next Prez. Hard to be popular doing that, won’t it?

Hey LA, did you read this yet?

Obama is hoping to appoint cross-party figures to his cabinet such as Chuck Hagel, the Republican senator for Nebraska and an opponent of the Iraq war, and Richard Lugar, leader of the Republicans on the Senate foreign relations committee.

Senior advisers confirmed that Hagel, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and one of McCain’s closest friends in the Senate, was considered an ideal candidate for defence secretary.

Appointing Lugar and Hagel would go a long way in healing the divide in our country without compromising any principles. As far as Republicans go, Hagel has been against the invasion of Iraq from the start and Lugar has been a critic as well. We could do worse with some DLC type Democrats.

I think it’s a great idea, especially considering his choices. Don’t think Dem supporters as a whole would be too thrilled though.

Think about this. We’re almost $9 trillion in debt and still borrowing hundreds of billions and we’re still handing out foriegn aid to foriegn countries ( payola to get support and favors ). Paying hundreds of billions in maintaining foriegn military bases. Buying very expensive military equipment and programs even when no one no one can come close to us even in the distant future. We are in a very deep hole and we are still digging. This house of cards will collapse, the question is when. Someone has to say enough, enough.

I know this is off topic, but when is the world going to grab Israel by the damn throat and say enough is enough?

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said an even broader Gaza operation was possible, aimed at crushing militant rocket squads but also to “weaken the Hamas rule, in the right circumstances, even to bring it down.”

The Palestinian death toll rose by 26, bringing the number killed to 114 since the latest bout of fighting erupted on Wednesday, according to Palestinian medical officials and militant groups.

Cuz when you think about crushing, the first thing you think of is a democratically elected government. Come on Bush you sack of shit. DO SOMETHING for once in your pathetic life. McExcuseForAPolitician? No? Obama? Hillary? *crickets*……..sad. Interfere when there’s money to be made.

here is a fact

none of the candidates will be able to get us out of this mess….none of them

but the worst thing to happen would be to elect mccain

he has lobbyests as handlers

what ever they havent taken yet…he will hand over to them in the first year

The repubs will claim the economy is fine, despite all the evidence to the contrary, they will also at the same time blame the dems for all the problems with the economy, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They will be be believed by a large percentage of the electorate.

Besides…

Was John McCain really tortured when he was a POW? Was he tortured sufficiently enough to deserve a medal of valour? I have a friend who is in Vietnam researching POWs. He spoke to a man that was the gardner at the POW camp McCain was held at. He doesn’t seem to remember McCain ever being tortured. He thinks it might have been self-inflicted torture in order to get enough medals to later run for President some day. I think this bears some thinking.
