Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Very clever ad, but McCain has given a valid justification (whether or not it was his real reason is a different matter), which is that Bush was cutting taxes without first balancing the budget, which lead to more deficit spending. That’s actually true, but the political reality is that tax cuts are much easier to pass than balanced budgets. And until we get a constitutional amendment, Congress is under no obligation to balance it.
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:24 amGod Bless John McCain for his service to this country, but if it’s the economy stupid, Romney is the man. Let’s just remember McCain’s campaign early on, mis-managed to where it was broke and he apologized. Well, do we really want someone like that at the helm of our economy. The terrorists are going to try to destroy us through our economy cause they clearly get their ass kicked by our military. People need to think long and hard…
February 3rd, 2008 at 6:26 amMcCain may have mismanaged his early campaign but Mitt Romney mismanaged an entire state.
February 3rd, 2008 at 8:06 amIf McCain can’t manage his campaign, which is the only thing he has run that I can tell, how the hell will he manage the largest economy in the world. As for Romney, that’s a broad statement that I would like some backup for. As far as I can tell, Massachusetts was $1 billion in the whole when he took over and were $3 billion to the good when he left, not to mention he saved the bankrupt Olympics in Seattle. I’m just asking for some tangible economic things McCain has done and I just don’t see any.
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:13 amWhen McCain voted against the first Bush tax cuts there is video out there of his speeches on the Senate floor - HE VOTED AGAINST THE TAX CUTS BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO DIRECTED TOWARDS THE RICH IN HIS OPINION - Now does that sound like something a conservative would say? NOW THAT HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, he says: “that Bush was cutting taxes without first balancing the budget, which lead to more deficit spending.” That is another McCain lie.
So David, instead of falling for McCain lies look into what he has really said in the past.

“And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.”
I can find it and post it in lots of other places if you need me too. You could find it also if you look places other than the main stream media reports or the McCain website . . .
February 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 pmTax cuts are not for the rich, the rich don’t need them.
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 pmYes - Irish girl - This is what the Democrats say.
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 pmTexas Mom, I think Irish Gal’s point is any tax cut is to benefit the middle class, not the rich.
Tax breaks to businesses empower the owners to trickle down, expand, hire more people, grow, produce.

February 3rd, 2008 at 7:39 pmCheck out this NEWSWEEK article about McCain: http://www.newsweek.com/id/107581
How can anyone read this article and feel good about John McCain as president? He doesn’t like CRITICISM? What the HECK is he running for president for? There’s probably NO ONE in the world who attracts more criticism than the President of the US.
Do we want a president who’s going to look for revenge against every person, in and outside the US, who offends his “honor”? That’s FRIGHTENING!!
Let me just grab a few quotes from this article and you tell me if this is a man you really want running our country…
“…he can seem prickly, impetuous, vindictive—the sort of military martinet whose finger is supposed to be kept far from the button.”
“There are a number of U.S. senators who can attest to McCain’s repentance with handwritten apologies for his intemperance.”
NOTE: I’m sure a handwritten note of apology after a yelling, profanity-filled rant, to Putin or Almadinejad or al-Maliki will do wonders for US relations.
“As an angry toddler, he would hold his breath until he passed out (his parents’ cure was to drop him fully clothed into a bathtub of icy water).”
NOTE: So, this behavior is ingrained from birth.
“At Annapolis, he was, he writes, “a slob.” He looked for authorities to subvert, settling on a bullying, second-year midshipman he and his friends dubbed “Sh–––y Witty the Middy,” and making life miserable for a by-the-book captain who was supposed to discipline him.”
“…he was at best an average pilot, a daredevil, “kick-the-tires and light-the-fire” type who sacrificed careful preparation for more time at the O Club bar.”
“He writes that he should have jinked to evade the missile, but out of stubbornness, or a mad kind of bravery, he flew straight on and toggled the bomb switch—just as the missile blew off the right wing of his plane.”
NOTE: Think of the power the President holds. Do we want this kind of “stubborness”?
“…a number of senators and former lawmakers are still licking their wounds from run-ins with McCain.”
“”It’s sad, really,” says former senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire. “John McCain can tell a good joke and we can laugh, and I’ve had my share of good times with him.” That is the side of McCain, says Smith, that the press sees. But behind the scenes lurks a less amiable McCain. “You can disagree without being disagreeable,” says Smith. “And I don’t think John is able to do that. If he disagrees with you, he does it in a way that is disagreeable.”"
“The lore of “Senator Hothead,” as McCain has been dubbed over the years, is considerable. McCain is widely reported to have yelled profanities at senators and even shoved one or two (including the late Strom Thurmond, a feisty nonagenarian at the time of the alleged incident). After McCain used an obscenity to describe Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa to his face in 1992, Grassley did not speak to McCain for more than a year.”
“McCain snapped, “This is chickens–––.” Cornyn shot back that McCain shouldn’t come parachuting in off the presidential-campaign trail at the last minute and start making demands. “F––– you,” said McCain, in front of about 30 witnesses.”
“”I was surprised to find so many senators who’d had a personal experience when he’d lost his temper,” says Cochran. ”
“”I certainly know no other president since I’ve been here who’s had a temperament like that. There’s some who were capable of getting angry, of course. Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter both. But this …” His voice trailed away. “You like to think your president would be cool, calm and collected. He’s commander in chief.”"
“”McCain reacts poorly when criticized,” says Norquist. “When the NRA and the right-to-life and right-to-work groups criticized him, he reacted like they were personal attacks, and then he supported some gun-control legislation to get back at the NRA.”"
“McCain wound up in the office of the then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, yelling at the top of his lungs, say a Pentagon official and an adviser to Rumsfeld who declined to be identified”
“McCain may have a bit of a vindictive streak. “John has an enemies list longer than Nixon’s,” says a former Pentagon official who did not want to get on it. “And, unlike Nixon, McCain really does try to get you.”"
“[McCain] snapped, “Don’t try to change my mind,” says a former aide who wished to avoid McCain’s wrath by remaining anonymous.”
“McCain’s leadership skills are called into question by the near meltdown of his campaign. “Nobody knew who the boss was,” says one of McCain’s longtime friends and advisers”
I TELL YOU… THE MAN DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE SCARES ME!
