McCain has demonstrated his instability in public. Flying off the handle into a rage at the least provokation, singing a little ditty about Bombing Iran (way to go with foreign relations - THAT'll make the Iranians want to listen).

And then he compares him to the President of the USA. Shouldn't that be a good thing? Isn't that a man who was voted into office twice? Whose father was also a US President? If you ask me, people shouldn't be upset that McCain is being compared to Bush, because the comparison, quite frankly, is extremely flattering to McCain.
Bush never demonstrated the recklessness, disregard for his colleagues, or insane temper that McCain does regularly. -

I do wish you would get your facts straight. It was Romney who called McCain 'unstable'. Yes, Obama has said a McCain administration would be 4 more years of Bush policies, because McCain has yet to differentiate himself from Bush, other than claiming he's a 'maverick'.

In recent statements, Obama has referred to McCain's plan to buy bad mortgages as 'risky' and referred to McCain as 'erratic' and 'uncertain'. But this hasn't been going on 'from day one'.-

Tangent - Thanks for bringing up McCain's plan for the government to buy up bad mortgages. That is one of the stupidest suggestions I have ever heard.

What that means is that we, the taxpayers, will have to buy up bad mortgages at full price to prop up failing banks and mortgage brokers. We will then own a bunch of devalued homes that will have to be sold. That means we will be able to sell these over-valued homes only for pennies on the dollar.
Who are the only people who can afford to buy this large number of inventory of excess homes? Why, the very same overpaid CEO's and the same banks that got propped up by us buying these worthless homes. These ultrarich executives and now cash-loaded banks just have to hang on to the properties for a few months to a couple of years and then sell the houses at a huge profit.
The CEO of Lehman Brothers for the last 10 years who drove that company into the ground got $300 million in salary and bonuses during his tenure. Is he hurting? Is he worried about his retirement? Is he cutting grocery coupons to save pennies?
No. He is praying for McCain to get elected and waiting for McCain to push thru the idea of the government buying up those bad mortgages. McCain is dangerous for America.

MTig - You are either lying or in a permanent state of denial.

Barack Obama has never engaged in the hateful name-calling that McCain & Palin have embarked on.
Obama has talked about McCain's age and his being out of touch with modern society.
But remember, McCain himself has said he is "older than dirt and has more scars than Frankenstein." And McCain always uses his age as the proof of his "greater experience."
Further, McCain has openly acknowledged he knows nothing about computers. His wife, Cindy, has to do his email for him.
I used to like the old McCain. He was a maverick from the Republican party. Kerry even considered him for running mate until Mccain turned him down.
I am thoroughly disappointed about the person McCain has devoved into now. He has had to tow the neoconservative/arch-Christian line. He was besmirched by Bush whose campaign falsely accused McCain of fathering a black child. In reality the McCains had simply adopted a Sri Lankan child. I repeat, I liked the old McCain.
It seems that McCain learned the wrong lesson from his past campaigns. He has learned that dirty politics is the way to win elections. Rather than elevating elections into a noble and necessary civic responsibility, he has turned into a cow-chip throwing contest.
From a maverick politician, he has turned into a smirky, sleazy, and mob-pandering demagogue. Years from now, if they make a movie of McCain's life, it will be a story of a political Greek tragedy of a good man succumbing to the lures of power, a hero being seduced by the dark side. -
