He showed excellent judgment on the Iraq war. McCain still thinks it was a good idea.
He shows an ability to see shades of gray. McCain is black and white.
But it is the Dems in Congress who want high gas prices. I don''t like them. - Reply to this comment

- *****they are lazy, demanding, complaining Democrats with a poor work ethic.Posted by SharnCedar at 08:38 AM : Sep 06, 2008****
SharnCedar says the above, and yet the article says the below:
"I send out typically 50 resumes a week and I get maybe one or two responses," he said. "I have had many interviews. I have had no offers."
According to SharnCedar this is the epitome of laziness.
And people wonder who is going to win the election -- the Democrates who have a record of improving the economy or the Republicans who have a history of destroying the economy - Reply to this comment

- SharnCedar - I%u2019m not sure how you get a %u201Cglobal unemployment rate of maybe 20%%u201D. While the government is spending too much, it will probably help the economy (more jobs) if they spend less. The Republicans and the democrats are spending too much.
Also, I don%u2019t think Bill Clinton really helped Walmart. - Reply to this comment

I think the Democrats in Congress are a fine example for our country.
Soaring gas prices? Vote for a five week vacation while EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN votes to stay in session. - Reply to this comment
- In a global economy, Americans are competing for jobs with all people all over the world. and basically, about half of Americans are unemployable by world standards - they are lazy, demanding, complaining Democrats with a poor work ethic.
The only reason we have 5% unemployment, instead of 50%, is because Bush and the Republicans are borrowing huge sums of cash and giving it out to stimulate artificial American businesses and retail. When that ends, as it must, we will see a more realistic global unemployment rate of maybe 20% or something like that.
and if you want to thank somebody, than Bill clinton the guy who created China''s boom to help Walmart. - Reply to this comment
- A8151947 - The unemployment number does not count the lazy people. It only accounts for people that are actively looking for a job. The president cannot make Congress stay...

Bush said making them stay wouldn''t do any good.
When they were in session they played parliamentary games to avoid votes. - Reply to this comment

Its amazing how that Democratic Majority in Congress got the oil prices back down from $140 a barrel to $105.
The Dems are very successful at making things better.

Prices started going down when Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling.
Plus, people are so broke they can''t afford energy.
Tell pollsters you support Reps in Congress. Light a big fat ugly enormous fire under Pelosi''s sorry backside. - Reply to this comment
