While the Dow Plunges, McCain Accuses Obama of Distracting Voters »
Posted By capj71 8 months, 4 weeks ago in NewsAs the Dow dropped another 369 points today, the reaction of John McCain was to continue to attack Obama’s character. It is laughable that McCain accused Obama of not talking about his record, and trying to distract the voters, when the McCain strategy is to ignore the economic crisis, and his own record.

What else can they do?

They're behind in the polls, they can't talk about the economy, Ms Palin is not considered as strong as she was a month ago, they're pulling up stakes in states where they once were slightly ahead or tied (and are now behind)...
All they can do now is skirt the issues and attack negatively...sad...

Negative character attacks is all McBush has. His economic positions were part of the reasons for our financial meltdown and he wants to stay off that issue. America is tired of hearing about his POW experience which is not a qualification to being president. His position on the Iraq War is untenable. America does not want or need another republican administration. Isn't our country in enough of a mess? Do we really want to sink our nation further into the quagmire we're in now?

McSAme has nothing to offer the American people...only the same failed Bush policies....Mr. Deregulator, free marketeer. Mccain is the guy who helped set the house on fire and now wants to be the hero and put the fire out!! He's a liar and so is palin and his erratic accusation and behavior speaks volumes. Thanks but no thanks John and Sara we do not need 2 more unqualified liars in the white house, we have had 8 years of that already and we need a change....

I'll give up everything for Obama and Biden if you can prove to me and the American people that they are not liars. If they win the election, how sure are you we are not changing for the worse? Let's think very seriously about this particular election for this is like a bridge of no return.

Obama hangs out with and does business with terrorists, America haters, thugs and thieves. What else do we need to know about that creep. How do we know FOR SURE that Obama isn't some kind of radical terrorists himself. WE DON'T KNOW DO WE? As the ole saying goes..."you are who you hang out with." Well look at who Obama hangs out with.
Obama's claims that he had no idea about these creeps, that's PURE BS! How could he not know. When ever anyone brings up the name William Ayres, the very first thing that comes to anyone's mind is....Domestic TERRORIST. Ayres is Infamous for his bombings and radical hate America agenda, but yet, Messiah Obama claims he had no idea. Hey Obama, F-U, we are not that stupid.
Are you people really dumb enough, not to see that Obama may be the absolutely worst choice we could ever make for president? We don't know what he's REALLY all about, do we. -

Changing for the worse? ROFLAMO!!! The U.S. has hit rock bottom. 1. The economy is in shambles. 2. The Dollar tanked to record lows. 3. The National Debt is at a point of no return. 4. The Iraq debacle is a Black Hole. 5. Gas prices through the roof. 6. Credit crisis and record foreclosures.

We want Obama to step up to the plate and make it clear to us, on exactly what his involvements were with these terrorists and creeps he hangs out with. Obama's simply solution is to deny he knew they are bad people. That's about the biggest F*cking lie we have ever heard. He knew who he was hanging with, he knew what kind of people they are. SO WHY does he make up such stupid lies that only morons will beleive? We want some honesty from that creepy liar. Problem is, I doubt we will ever get any honesty out of Osama Obama. NONE!

We want McCain to step up to the plate and tell us exactly how his plans will help the economy, our foreign policy and the uninsured.
Reply
I doubt we will ever get honest answers to those questions, since McCain's campaign manager said the election would not be about issues, but personalities.
Unfortunately for you, Republicans' character assassination will not work this time. If you think Obama's a terrorist, then you'd better make plans to leave the country before he gets you.

With the mess that we are currently in, for McCain to focus on these inane attacks shows how pathetic his offerings are.
Reply
It seems as if McCain, looking at the situation that the past seven-plus years of Republican control has delivered, just does not want the job. -

The big problem McCain and the Republican Party have is the "Trickle Down" economic theory, while the Democratic Party, belive that "Bottom Up" offers a stronger economy. Currently, Bush's Trickle Down policy isn't working, and this is evident by the fact that to much wealth is being accumulated by to few people, while the middle class wages, buying power, is declining even though productivity is up. This, to me, is the basic issue regarding economic policies, and the role of the next president to explain to the citizens. Can McCain explain the current problem, why Tickle Down is stalled and what if anything he can do about it, and can Obama explain the problem as unsolvable, and introduce in an understadable way, introducing and implementing a whole new policy will improve our economy. And what would it take make a complete change in direction.

its not theory. its plain old macroeconomics.
Reply
i'm not sure what kind of eonomics the democrats believe in, because economics aren't a religion. you can believe what you want, but human nature is such that macroeconomics is a tried and true system to understand how we spend our money.
bottom up is nonsense. there is no such thing.
example. a poor person starts a business. bully for her! where does she get her money from? a bank. where does the bank get its money from? a wealthier person that deposits their cash in a bank account.. the bank lends it to the poor person to get started.
fast forward. that once poor person is now a success. her business has made her wealthy. what does she do with her profits? goes out and buys stuff and/or peuts cash in the bank for the bank to laon out to someone else to buy a house, start a business, send a kid to college.
the democrat plan would take money from that loop and penalize wealth and/or success. that makes it harder to start a business, get a home loan or send a kid to college.
the dem plan is absolutely DISeconomic.
'trickle down' isn't stalled. bank to bank loans have screeched to ahalt because a bunch of Wall Street traders gamed the loan system to cause a bubble in credit. the bubble burst and here we are. if no one (banks) loans to each the system becomes unstable.
you talk about a change in direction? Os plan will grind the economy to a differnt halt than what we are facing today. actually, its not very different than what FDR during the depression. when capital formation needed a boost, he tore its heart out.
if O had one idea that promoted capital formation, i'd feel a whole lot better about him. every one, EVERY SINGLE ONE of his tax and fiscal policies requires him to take money from the rich (like Robin Hood) to give to the poor.
i always thought america was predicated on success, not on predatory fiscal and tax policy. call me a nut.
its not like McC has a whole pile of capital foramation ideas himself, but its nowhere the confiscatory plan that defines Obama.
for everyones benefit, vote McCain.

Oh, they have a clue, alright. They know that the trick is to baffle working class America with your bullsh!t while doing the bidding of the wealthy and the corporations. Its amazing, some poor schmucks still hold out hope for the composite entity called ObamaCain despite the fact that it voted to screw us on the bailout.

The next president is going to have to come clean and then clean house. And than he needs to have the BALLS to stop the war,ten billion dollars a month is insane. We need that money here to rebuild this nation.both political parties have got to be held accountable. CORRUPTION EQUALS DEREGULATION EQUALS US THE LOSERS !

Unless a plummeting asteroid takes out both Obama and McCain, there is no fscking chance that our next president will stop the war or fix the economy. McCain and Obama are both the enthusiastic b!tches of the ruling class. Ain't no change comin' ain't no "mavericks" moving into the white house.

Since the Dow dropped another 508 points today, will he continue to blame Senator Obama, or does he have another strategy in mind to prevent the Dow from hitting below 9,000?

To be fair it is not really McSame who is throwing all the mud. Evidently Palin has been given that task, as well as all the right wing posters on blogs and boards like this one.

He's back home attending the funeral of his wife's mother if I'm not mistaken, maybe that's where it is.

PALIN RUINED HER POST-DEBATE PERFORMANCE TWO DAYS LATER. SHE HAS DONE THAT BEFORE. MCBUSH PICKED A VERY UNPREDICTABLE VP. WHAT IS REALLY DISTRACTING HIM, I THINK, IS HOW TO SPIN HER MESSES AND RESCUE HER. HE WAS THE ONE WHO SUSPENDED HIS CAMPAIGN TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON. HE HIMSELF SAID HIS RETURN WAS CAUSED BY SEVERAL REASONS. SO DEALING WITH THE ECONOMIC CRISIS WAS ONLY ONE MOTIVE.
Reply
OBAMA LATER COMPLIED AND MCCAIN GAVE A DRAMATIC SPEECH ABOUT RECONCILIATION AMONG ALL PARTIES. THEN PALIN PUT ON THE BOXING GLOVES AND EVERY SO SWEETLY RUTHLESSLY ATTACKED OBAMA FOR THINGS HILLARY HAD ALREADY USED. SO BORING!
THAT PALIN KNOWS HOW TO HIT BELOW THE BELT WITH HER MECANICAL SMILE. VERY GROSS SPECTACLE. -

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL HER PEOPLE WHO ARE SO CONSERNED OF THE HURTING THATS BEEN PUT ON US,I REALLY DONT KNOW FOR SURE IF THE ONE I AM VOTING FOR IS THE ONE OR THE OTHER MANIS THE ONE WHO CAN GET US OUT OF THIS MESS, I'M JUST NOT SURE EITHER MAN CAN HELP US AT THIS POINT. BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO PICK AMERICA BACK UP AND WIPE HER TEARS. I DO KNOW THE REPUBLICANS GOT US WHERE WE ARE TODAY, I JUST HOPE WE GET THE RIGHT MAN TO DO THE JOB. LITTLE MISS PALIN HAS CAUSED McCAIN TO DROP IN THE POLES, MCcAIN IS ANGERY BECAUSE HE HAS TIES IN THE DOW AND HE HAS NOT REASURED THE PEOPLE ON HIS POLICY ON ECONMY HEALTH CARE OR THE MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE. WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS FOREIGN POLICYS. WE HAVE TWO MEN FIGHTING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST THAT WE GET THE RIGHT MAN OR WE ARE GOING TO FALL HARDER THEN BEFOE.
