McCain Can't Pretend To Care About the Economy

Nice article,Ken. Don't get too discouraged though when there is an avalanche of right wing posters that say that you are wrong. They don't understand that it's not about war.

Wakeup look at AIG! The government just gave another failing business a loan. If Barack Hussein Obama gets elected it means even more government control. The Governments job is not to save every one! Big corporations and people need to start accounting for their own actions and suffer the repercussions. We are not a country of children who need mommy and daddy (government) saving us because we as individual cannot make sound decisions. People grow up! Stop the greed, pay your bills, and stop asking mommy and daddy(government) to rescue you just because you cannot make be responsible. Vote McCain!

Exactly, Ken. McCain is waaaay out of touch with what's going on. But he's got a fighting chance anyway. For some reason.

You have taken McCains words out of context and twisted them to mean something he did not say.

Ken,

You are a typical lying bag of liberal crap.

Ken,

You are a typical lying bag a liberal crap.

Gee Ken, the economy did pretty well after the tech bubble burst and the shock of 9/11. But it all starting falling apart after 2006, when something CHANGED, oh yeah, the DEMOCRAT controlled CONGRESS.

Welcome to hope and change!

In the interest of truth and fairness, here is what John McCain actually said:
"Our economy, I think, is still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times,'' McCain said. "I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street."

In my opinion, John McCain is not out of touch.

Of course it's not too funny if you're one of the 605,000 people who lost a job this year, or one of the 2 million homeowners who lost their house to foreclosure in 2008, or somebody ready to retire on a 401k that lost 30% or 40% in value in the past year.

........................You can thank the democrats for that , they still sending 700 billion to foreign countries.....so thanks DEMOCRATS

Ruby, please expand on your comment. You may be right, it seems like McCain wouldn't JUST say that, but I would like to know the basis of your comment.

Ruby your dumb
mccain doesnt care about you!! unless your rich

look up THE KEATING FIVE on the internet you will better understand johns politics

........................You can thank the democrats for that , they still sending 700 billion to foreign countries.....so thanks DEMOCRATS

Hey Bob, do you honestly believe the shit that you type? What in the fuck are you even talking about?

Why is McCain doing so well in the state polls this week, with all of these economic problems surfacing? The reason for the failure of the banking industry is largely due to greed and corruption. McCain/Palin is viewed by the public as being the mavericks to stop this corruption in our government. They are the doers, not the talkers. Obama/Biden can turn up the rhetoric all they want, but they have nothing to show the voters they can produce anything to solve these problems.

Herbert Hoover was the President at the start of the great depression. Herbert Hoover said in 1931, "The economy is fundamentally sound." Going back to January 2008 John McCain has said at least 22 times, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." McCain sounds like Herbert Hoover.

Carly Fiorina, a key surrogate for John McCain on economic issues, on John McCain and experience. “I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation.”

“If John McCain’s top economic advisor doesn’t think he can run a corporation, how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world in the midst of a financial crisis?" said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor. "Apparently even the people who run his campaign agree that the economy is an issue John McCain doesn’t understand as well as he should."

Romney on McCAIN: "HUGE MISTAKE!!" False Accusation Was WRONG & REPREHENSIBLE !!

In 2008 Karl Rove says he has gone too far. Karl Rove said back in 2000 on CNN, "If you are not with McCain, he belittles you, he makes fun of you, he disparages you and that is not the mark of a leader to unite the Republican Party."

Obama claims he is not going to increase taxes on 95% of Americans. Basic math would be then that he will only increase taxes on 5% of the US. So if there is 300 million Americans divided by 5% equals 15 million. Now he wants to increase spending up to 900 Billion. So divide that by 15 million equals 600 million a year. How in the hell is he going to accomplish that? Please its simple math that a 4th grader can figure out!
Wake up people he is an empty suit and he will promise you the moon on the backs of 15 million americans. The math does not work so stop hoping for all those freebies & entitlements, cause its causing America to go broke.
Country First!
Mccain/Palin!!!!

Actually I think it is Obama who is living in some fantasyland about the economy....that's even more frightening......hope he is living it up with Barbra Streisand tonight and his Hollywood buds.....while we are here clinging to our guns and religion....Obama is OUT of touch.....

Harris:
I wish I was there with Babs and all my peeps!

f you're a Republican and you talk to America 's enemies, its diplomacy.

If you're a Democrat and you talk to America 's enemies, its appeasement.

If you're a Republican, you swear Jesus is a registered member of your party.

If you're a Democrat, you appreciate that Jesus was a community organizer.

If you're a Republican and you wind up on the cover of People magazine, it's because you're a regular American.

If you're a Democr at and you wind up on the cover of People magazine, its because you're a celebrity.

If you're a black Democratic man who can fill a stadium with 18,000 people (or worse, a German atrium with 200,000), you're a vapid celebrity. If you're a white Republican woman who can get a room full of fire breathing evangelical right wingers to holler, you're a star

If you are a Democrat, the days are counted down since the last time you have been to Iraq .

If you are a Republican, you have all the foreign policy experience you need because your state is close to Russia .

If you're a black woman, with advanced academic degrees, and you have children while married, you're a baby mama

If you're a white woman who barely graduated from college, and you get knocked up and then get married after you're pregnant, you're a "Super Mom"

If you are black and your daughter is pregnant, unmarried and has an uninvolved baby daddy, you are a statistic, but if you're a white and your daughters baby's daddy has an explicit MY Space page where, in between four-letter words, he exclaims "he don't want no kids," you get to run for Veep.

If you're a black presidential candidate that has wide appeal and the ability to motivate over two million Americans to re-engage in the political process you're an egomaniac with a messiah complex seeking the spotlight.

However, if you're a right wing conservative - you're applauded for your likeability and called a unifier for the Republican base

If you're white, win a beauty contest, attended 5-6 colleges before finally graduating, join the PTA, are voted to be mayor by 1000 people, govern a sparsely populated state for a almost two years now, and randomly get chosen at the last minute to be VP, you've lived the American dream, she's every American.

But if you're black, raised by a single mother, lived on food stamps, help the community, get into Harvard, become the first black editor of the H arvard Law Review, build a great campaign organization from scratch, and are voted to be the presidential nominee by millions of people, you are just uppity.

If you are a democratic candidate and people around you complain about the MSM vitriol toward you, you're a whiner.

If you are a republican candidate and you wont answer the questions the MSM attempts to ask about your qualifications for the second highest office in the land, you're being victimized.

If you are a white republican mom with a special-needs baby, you are suddenly the advocate of all special needs families in the US .

If you are an Alaskan democrat mom with a special-needs baby, you just saw state funding cut for programs like special-ed. You're "on your own."

If you are a black democrat homeowner that was preyed upon by mortgage companies and your house is in foreclosure, you made bad choices and don't deserve a house.

If you an older white republican who can't keep track of how many houses he has, then he deserves another one.
