The New Republic: Ariz. Senator Has Contradictory Ambitions

[bmadeline-2009]

Dear vranger:
Are you de-ranged? The dems have had congress for two years. Bush and his cohorts had blown the money long before that. Oil was $28.00 per barrel until Bush started helping his oil buddies.
You are correct about one thing. Since 2006, the dems should have put bush and cheney in chains and carted them off to trial as war criminals. I surely don''t know what that is off the table.

Hence the complete economic mess that our country is in,

this is a mess created by greed driven conservative

republicons, there is only so much money to go around and the republicon are keeping it for their wealthy friends

[vranger]

An earlier poster was correct, our government does have some influence on the economic problems currently manifesting themselves in the USA.

All these problems started since a DEMOCRAT run Congress was elected. The truth is that the President has little influence over the economy, other than to propose programs and legislation to the Congress.

Reagan''s success in his economic impact (lowered unemployment by half, the prime by 75%, inflation by 90%, and mortgate rates by 2/3rds) was that he was able to get Congress to enact his programs.

This Congress has done nothing but the ''cake icing'' rebate stimulus, and things are fraying a bit at the edges as they sit on their hands and blame an office that has no power to unilaterally act on any domestic programs.

The White House has had a widely approved energy package before the Democrat run Congres for more than EIGHTEEN MONTHS now. Where is it? In a Democrat controlled committee, cooling its heels. They are hoping for a Democrat to be elected to the White House so they can lay it at his feet and take credit for the whole thing.

While the Democrats play politics, Americans suffer.

However, they don''t CARE.

I''m glad someone in the MSM finally brought to light just some of the many contradictions of McFlipFlopper''s campaign. The difference between Sen. Obama and McSame is vast, i.e., Sen. Obama presents a "common sense" approach to resolving issues and solving problems, while McSame relies on the same tired, old lies of Karl Rove designed to trick voters into believing that McSame is something that he is not -- a reformer. However, that''s okay because this coming November McSame will be placed where he belongs - out to pasture.

There is something amiss with Senator McCain.

I wonder if the Senator is still searching for the missing WMDs.

Oops - they blocked me!!

I meant to say that Bushit is a R*E*T*A*R*D

[mswolfestock]

This is absolutely terrifying -

Bush is a total ***, but they want to replace him with McSame, who appears to be in the first stage of Altzheimer''s on top of being totally out of touch with reality.

McCain has some SERIOUS mental problems - he obviously did not receive adequate counseling after being a POW. He is mentally unstable - he does not see the world as it is - he is hallucinating.

I''m not surprised that his campaign staff can''t even keep his website updated - they''re probably all dinosaurs like him. They are applying a 20th century typewriter mentality to the reality of 21st century IT technology. Go ahead, ask McSame about blogging or something - ask him when was the last time he looked at his own website. He''s got one foot in the grave - I wouldn''t be surprised if he didn''t know how to turn on a computer much less get anything out of it.

I''m totally scared that there are still too many idiots who will vote for him anyway.

I have to wonder how good president Obama will be without his pair! At least McCain still has his.

In all the interviews I have seen with McCain,it''s not only the inconsistency of his answers from day to day, but, also what he says when does talk. On July 9th on CBS news he stated that Irans economy is not strong because of its POOR government. Put the question to him, sounds like the U S situation to me. Our poor government has put our economy in a poor state. Explain that to me Mr. McCain. How will "exploiting" the America coastlines and other resources help me in a year? Sure other countries are pissed at us. Look what we have "NOT" accomplished in the seven years we have been over there. I support everytroop over there but I will fight to not have a continuation of the Bushtatership we have had for the last 7+ years.Our troops dying to feed BUsh and then McCains Low self esteem issue is just plain wrong.

Typical republican liar.

Why is ANYONE surprised by his BS?
