An expensive suit doesn''t make the man better. Nor does outspending equate to being a better candidate.

All the Detroit automakers have to do is get with McCain''''s lobbyi$t$...

I know you meant that as a dig, but lobbying is perfectly legal. Like lawyers, there are "good" lobbyists, and "bad" lobbyists. I don''''t know which McCain has, or what their intentions are.

Honestly, I don''''t have a problem with that at all. I''''d like him to cozy up with the automakers in Detroit, too.

But I wonder how wise it is to be seen as cozying up to rich oil companies on their rigs in the gulf.

I will save my $1,000 tax rebate from Barack until I have enough to put down on my first Tesla. Role of OIL is changing.

Double Talk Express

%u2013 McCain has said waterboarding "should never be condoned in the U.S." but voted against a bill banning the CIA from using torture, specifically including waterboarding.

%u2013 McCain says he is "a consistent supporter of educational benefits" for the military but has indicated he will not support the bipartisan 21st Century GI Bill.

%u2013 On at least three occasions, McCain baselessly claimed Iran is training Al Qaeda in Iraq but argued the error was an isolated slip of the tongue.

%u2013 McCain falsely suggested that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a "sect of ******."

%u2013 McCain falsely claimed Moktada al-Sadr "declared the cease-fire" after recent fighting in Basra and has said he is both a "major player" in Iraq and that his influence "has been on the wane for a long time."

%u2013 Economists and nonpartisan analysts have said recently that the numbers in McCain''s economic plan simply "don''t add up."

- McCain has made the elimination of earmarks a cornerstone of his presidential campaign but he can''t name any he would eliminate.

- In a matter of one day, McCain said Americans are both "better off" and "not better off" than they were before President Bush took office.

Brilliant stragety by his handlers putting him out there in that Navy hat. But I wonder how wise it is to be seen as cozying up to rich oil companies on their rigs in the gulf.

McCain: The Appeaser
######
In 1999, the "moderate" version of John McCain said that overturning Roe v. Wade would be dangerous for women and he would not support it, even in "the long term." Here''s McCain in the San Francisco Chronicle:

I''d love to see a point where it is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.

Tawpdawg111, McCain is a republican and is macho and would grunt "Cindy, money, now!" and like a good woman Cindy would fork it over.

I wonder then why he signed her pre-nup. Maybe there is a provision in there for him to get an allowance if he does his "chores".

Of course we can choose to ignore the facts and instead focus on which candidate is wearing a flag pin....you ever notice that McCain doesn''''t wear them

The latest Dela Katessen poll just out directly contradicts this Zoggy poll.

" Poll results show Obama favored by 64% of Americans followed in second place by the write-in candidate Balomey Sandwich with McCane a far distant third taking up the rear."

OBAMA VS McCAIN


1)Over 70% of our National Debt was created by just 3 Republican presidents.

2) Real middle class wage growth is double when a Democrat is president compared to when a Republican is president.

3)90% of Americans would pay less taxes under Obama''s proposed tax plan compared to McCain''s.

Countless millions of Americans vote Republican because they believe they''ll pay less taxes and that they''ll have their money spent more responsibly. As you can see, those beliefs are directly contradicted by the facts. Of course we can choose to ignore the facts and instead focus on which candidate is wearing a flag pin....you ever notice that McCain doesn''t wear them?
