McCain also lied about earmarks. He has a few at least.
Reply
But worse than the earmarks (and lies about them), is McCain tendency to give away entitlements to special interests. His stealing of private Dinah land rights to benefit one of his buddies is just one example. His unprecedented attempts to interfere with the FCC ruling over his mistress`s employer is another.
McCain voted 95% with Bush, the worst deficit spender in the history of our country. This man has no right to question anybody else`s spending.

People are to realize if Obama start calling an Older white man names it could backfire the way he has handle McCain is the only way he can. We like to think our nation is more advance in our cultural positions than it is.

As much as most of you don't want McCain as president you are not going to take kindly to your grandfather being called names by the likes of Obama!
As much as we the younger generation would love to see Obama hammer McCain we must take into consideration our parents generation, that would not sit well with them.-

Blackacereturn, you want a list on McCain, list away. I know McCain has done wrong things, hel* they all do. If anyone is looking for the word HONEST in politics, well, you are going to have a long search. My point is Obama isn't a saint, he is not the savior of the world that is going to take money from the rich and give to the poor like Robin Hood and make all things better. It's not going to happen. The economy is NOT JUST Obama's fault. The ENTIRE fault falls upon all the members of the senate and house that aren't doing their jobs starting with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
Reply
Obama has had little to do with it, he's never there. He's been a senator for 3 years, 2 of those he's spent running for President.
I live in his state, it's a mess. He has done little to bring money to Illinois. We are 14th in sending money to Washington and 48th in getting any back for our state. Sounds like a couple senators aren't doing their jobs, Durbin and Obama along with the entire democratic legislature of Illinois.
We know Obama all to well. He is a very grand speaker, he is good with and I quote him "JUST WORDS', but he is a product of the corrupt Chicago Political Machine, which makes him another politician. He cares for you NOW because you can get him elected. If he does win, you will see how fast we all become a number to Mr. Obama.
Find you list on McCain, won't both me. He isn't my Messiah, he is a politician, but he is some what better than Obama. At least he shows up for his job.-

In the meantime, when you throw Ayres, Resko, Wright, yada in the mix with Obama, why don't you stop to think of all the scum that Mc has surrounded himself with before making your comments.

Just like you know that Mc is no saint, we know Obama isn't, but he's not been around long enough to become as jaded and greedy as Mc and some of his ilk has either.-

Thanks for reminding me about Tony Rezko, Not2Needy! Greedy? How about a land deal with slum lord Tony Rezko where he got a sweetheart deal on property next door to his nice very expensive home in Chicago? He handled millions of dollars through the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that he passed to his friend William Ayers, you remember him the terrorist that bombed the pentagon? Well that money kinda disappeared into thin air because there was NO change in the educational results of the schools that he supposedly help. OH yes and let's not for get about the 900 MILLION dollars that he appropriates for his friends and pet projects. Like I said I live in his state we know him all too well.

McCain was exonerated and had nothing to do with the S scandal. Ask Special Counsel for the Ethics Committee Robert Bennett (a Dem) who investigated McCain for 1-1/2 years and tried to get the Dems to release him from the investigation. Where do you get your info? The Daily Kos or Kausfiles or MSNBC's Olberman? Repeating this lib lie over and over will never make it true.

McCain was the worst of the Keating Five, taking the most money and gifts while giving the most back in the form of taxpayer and/or consumer funded entitlements to Keating.
Reply
McCain also illegally hid those gifts and vacations from the IRS. He should have been in jail but he went on a I`m a POW so I have a Get-Out-Of-Jail -Card tour. He also paid back the IRS before they arrested his arse using his wife`s money. If it were you or me and not McElite, we would be in jail as a tax fraud and for breaking all the other laws.
McCain was the worst of the Keating Five, but he used his POW status and wife`s money to stay out of jail. Pathetic, shallow, hollow-shell of a man.

You rant about Obama spending too long, 2 years, running for President while supporting McCain who has been running for president for 20 years. McCain needs to get a job, a real job and stop living off others for the first time in his life. No wonder the guy is so out of touch and thinks money grows on trees and the rich are the only ones who matter.
Reply
I`ve lived in both Obama and McCain`s states, and McCain`s is much worse off.
Also, you cons know that Obama won against the so-called Chicago machine just like he won against the Clinton machine. He`s formidable and it scares you because you are party first, country last. He is also not part of the left-wing establishment nor the right-wing establishment (where McCain has his entire head buried), and this gives middle-class America hope!
Oh, you need to do some homework. McCain has the worst absentee record in the entire Senate! And even when he does bother to get off his elite butt his brain is still off; he votes 95% with Bush. He`s a weak capitulator who surrendered to the Far Right on everything from Taxes to Torture. He`s a hollow-shell of a man.

Thanks N2N, Blackacereturn was wanting a list on McCain, you saved me a lot of googling. I don't attach the allegiance to McCain that many seem to attach to Obama. McCain isn't perfect, he has made mistakes, he has done wrong things, but he hasn't associated with a known terrorist that actually bombed Pentagon and said he didn't do enough. Another issue with Obama that is troubling to me is Rev. Wright who preaches Black Liberation Theology, that is nothing but hate speech against whites and has a marxist socialist economic foundations. McCain is a lot of things, good and bad but you can't credit that to him.
Reply
Obama is NOT endorsed by the communist party but they speak extremely favorable toward him. That along with the associations of questionable individuals make me wonder just who is pulling his strings.
Since Obama is from my state at the beginning of the elections I thought I'd give him a look. Now that I know what I know I am glad I did.

Red something tells me that you knoe that Obama and Ayers were not friends, they sat on a board together, Ayers were there 4 years or so before Obama. It was a situation where Obama was trying to help the the less fortunate I can care less who sat there it was a good thing for those people that needed it.

Nobody has burned Vets and the military more than Exxon John.
Reply
* voted against troop funding
* voted five times against VA funding (socialized medical care is good enough for Johnie but not our new vets returning from Johnnie`s favorite political stunt-land of iraq)
* voted against armor for the troops
* was against the New GI bill saying it gave too much opportunity to the people who risk their lives for our country
* voted against equal time at home as in combat so our troops could keep up some resemblance to a family and home life
No, McCain talks one talk, and walks a completely different walk.
Obama on the other hand wants to bring our troops home in a reasonable and safe way. He wants to strengthen the New Awakening which is doing a great job of kicking AQ out of everywhere but Bagdhad where our troops are doing a great job of kicking AQ out. He also wants to give our troops the healthcare and educational opportunities they were promised and have earned.

Ever met an honest Republican? Me neither, and I sure have not seen one on TV for a few decades. McCain is a product of Keating Five and the Arizona mafia. Even before that he dumped the mother of his three children the first chance he got to upgrade his spouse.
Reply
I think McCain is just afraid of having to actually work to earn a living. He has always lived off somebody else.
Obama is a self-made man from very humble beginnings. He is living the American dream.

Obama has too many lives going with questionable friends. Perhaps he could put back some of the money he received from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Droughts, fires, Mississippi floods, many hurricanes , 911 Attack, greedy CEO"S, misjudgment on financing economc risk groups are all responsible. Think about America's future instead of the same nonsense of blame. The "bailout or loan" needs to be rewritten to stop socialist governing. Senseless bickering is childish and divisive. America needs unity.

John McCain is a former POW. This in no way marks him as ready to lead the nation. He can recite all the things he went through and I give him honor for that.
Reply
None of it has perpared him to run a nation so fouled up by his predecessor that it will be a miracle if we are not in a full fledged depression soon.
The next president has to have more going for him than following the disastrous and foolish financial plans of the Bush terrorist group. Thats right I'm calling Bush a terrorist. He has lead this country into a war that was waged on lies and greed for oil.
If McCain can't see that he needs to re-examine his sight and common sense. Bush is the reason the bill failed. The Republicans can't distance themselves from him fast enough to contain the damage he has caused their faltering party and its' once strong base.
Look in the mirror John. Your ridculous posturing and stunt has burned you again.
McCain just doesn't get it. The American people are fed up with pampering of the wealthy investors at the cost of the tax payer.
It is time for a change in Washington, a big change !!!!!!! One that boots out the old greedy bastar*s and gives some of the younger and fresher people a chance to clean up the debris.
So long McCain !!!!! Thanks for your service and your bravery while being held prisoner.
But America does not want to be held prisoner for four more years of the same old sh*t.
He has been a diaster as a Senator he is not presidential material.-

But on January 13 of this year, you pointed out here on Propeller John McCain's "abysmal record on immigration" (one of the main reasons you cons didn't want McCain to be your Presidential nominee). Now, after you and your fellow cons assembled for your thoroughly disgusting daily anti-McCain gangbangs (a scary thought no matter how you look at it) all is forgiven. Why? Is it not because you're desperate and fearful cons who want to keep anyone who calls himself a Republican in the White House, Red?I'm fairly sure that's why. And what does this say about the average con's credibility and integrity? Exactly... It's pretty much non-existent, right? ;-(

Of course you support the person. What else would you say? Puh-leeze. You despise McCain and we both know it. I don't have to be a psychic to remember what cons have been saying about McCain since Bush told them what to think in 2000. I don't need to read your tiny minds to remember that McCain's campaign flatlined last year and that wingnuts wanted to burn him at the stake for his immigration platform support alone--up until the time mainstream cons chose him as the GOP nominee, that is. Who do you think you're talking to? Do you actually think no one remembers what lying, opportunistic cons were saying about McCain before you realized he was the best your party has to offer?
And I don't believe you're disgusted with the crooks "on both sides" for one hot second. Why do cons and faux Independents always spout that lie? You don't demonstrate any such parity in your posts and I DON'T BELIEVE YOU so stop wasting your keystrokes lying (when we both know you're clearly biased).

You know what? I don't know how people who voted for Bush could have expected anything other than exactly what's happened!!! Look at his record. He bankrupted an oil company, he bankrupted the Texas Rangers, he was AWOL most of the time he was in the reserves, and he would have probably flunked out of college had it not been for his dad's money!!! He's been on drugs, and an drunk.. He's been a total screw up since he was old enough to walk, yet there are people who not only thought he was capable of running this country, SOME of them still think it!
I will give Bush credit for being shrewd. Everytime he screwed up, he came out on top, it was always other people who lost, and now it's parts of the whole world that's losing, but i would just about guarantee you that he is walking away with several billion he didn't go in with.
I will also say that in no way did Bush think this was going to happen on his watch.. OH he knew it was going to happen, but he was hoping it would happen to the next president, and he knew after the way he had screwed up it would more than likely be a Libbie.. I think this backfired on him, i think he planned to be firmly ensconced in Paraguay or some tropical isle laughing his ass off at us when the sh!t hit the fan here, but Karma came back to bite him in the ass this time.-

--Cons will look to blame everyone except THEMSELVES when it comes to our country's problems. I LOL every time I hear these people try to blame Obama or Pelosi or Barney Frank or Chris Dodd (or whichever person from the left Rush told them was responsible for all their pains and ills that day on his show) for this horror show of an administration's tragically flawed judgement.
These sad, silly, ignorant and unbelievably poorly educated people TWICE voted for Bush after he took us from a budget surplus and PLUNGED us into an abyss of debt and dishonor. Yet they still revere him. Their lying, murderous hero told his nutcase cult followers that they could have TWO wars which they didn't have to fight in or pay for AND that they could still have cheap gas and tax cuts on top of this. --And wingjobbers sat back and LAPPED all of Bush's lies and other crap up. Now they're wailing and swooning in self-pity trying to blame those on the left because cons have extremely poor judgement and critical thinking skills! Unbelievable. Cons? Don't blame others because you're shockingly poorly educated. That's no sane person's idea of accepting personal responsibility. Get serious. ;-(-

Did you know? The same night as the debate, Iran's President Admadinejad was using the New York hotel, owned by the family of' Obama'scampaign, national fundraiser finance, chairperson, Penny Pritzker. He taunted McCain, saying couldn't he do two things at the same time? Obama can, for he can play Muslims and Christians deceptively. He does in his books and friendships. Wondering if Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Arab, Obama fundraiser of 2000 was there along with former terrorist Wm. Ayers. At least they convicted another friend Tony Rezko. They tried Nihad Awad, director of the Islamic council in a conspiracy for funding Palestinian terrorism, Hamas. These guys are too clever. Admidinejad used his visit as a platform to unite Muslims , "to prepare for the great war, so as to completely wipe out the Zionist regime...." Israel. I'm not Jewish but I've witnessed their terrorism in the Tel Aviv airport. You can't compromise with evil for it will overtake you. That is what Obama is trying to do. His book , Audacity of Hope declares that when "political winds shift", he will stand with the Muslims. But he says he believes in Jesus. So do the demons but at least they tremble. Maybe Obama, advisor Criss Dodd, and Frank Fanes could give back millions received from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Wouldn't that show he cared for the middle class America?

Perhaps, Obama, his advisor Criss Dodd, and Frank Ranes could give back the millions received from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to show he really cared about America. Have you people studied this man's family history as well. His socialist cousin, trained in E. Germany but living in Kenya lost the presidency Dec. 07 causing the country much distress. Obama went to Germany but reporters said he missed the wounded soldiers. I wonder if the cousin was at the rally in New York?

i watched Fox's O Reilly last night -i'm not a regular. i watch it when i'm channel surfing maybe once a month, but he made an interesting point.
with the economy clearly tanking thanks to Wall Street, personal income will be off, so there's less rich people to rob FOR less money and capital gains have taken a whack that will provide income tax deductable losses for years, so capital gain taxes will be tiny. the economy will shrink, so there won't be any windfall profits from the oil companies
how's O gonna pay for his socialist pipe dreams? once you've tapped the rich, and Big Oil, who's left?
one guess. YOU. and its going to be higher taxes in an economy wracked by recession. its always GOOD to raise taxes during a recession. every socialist wingnut knows that!

If you want to make a comparison, why not compare actually experience. McCain has never been an executive (i.e. President or Governor) therefore at best he's upper management, not a CEO. And his stint in upper management is much longer (26 years without a promotion) compared to the new and up-and-coming opponent who is ALSO in upper management, and has only been there for 3 years, but in that time has managed to impress a lot of people.
Reply
So, to compare apples to apples, who do you want to run the company, the Upper Manager who has been in his position for 26 years, and angered a lot of his fellow Upper Managers (and employees) while in the position, or the up-and-coming Upper Manager who has impressed many in a very short time?
As for Palin, you can rightly use her as a CEO in your comparison. But make sure you acknowledge that she's like the CEO of a mom-and-pop shop vs. the Upper Management experience of BOTH presidential candidates in a multi-national corporation with 500 times as many employees. -

You can't possibly be serious. McCain is a weasel. After he loses in November, he and his fellow burrow mates Bush, Cheney, Joe Lieberman and Karl Rove all should go find the nearest hole in the ground and climb all over one another and sweat and squeal in delight like the farm animals they are. I can't believe cons are actually still allowed to vote. ;-(

McCain was referred to as honorable as it relates to his service during the war as a POW. Since that time and especially during the champaign, he has been anything but. It is clear that some damage has been done because of it and it's getting worse with age. McCain thinks the world owes him something. He is not the only American POW. We honor all our veterans including those who have loss their lives. Do you think some of them would like to have been President. Now unfortunately all they could ever be are dead Presidents, if this was possible. McCain is for McCain because if he was truely about country he would have accepted the fact that he is too old to handle the stress of the Oval office and he would have selected a better running mate to assist him in running the country if he were to be elected.

Look, people have put Obama in an impossible situation. Obama has been the most adult of them all. He has focused on the ISSUES; remember them? It's not about blame here you 12 year olds. It's about repairing the damage that has been done. Then putting the laws back in place that keep corporate America/Wall Street from screwing all of us. Now grow up people.
