The strings are still being pulled by the right wing of the party who finally conceded to McCain. The Cheney replacement for VP only shows his compromise to the neocons right wingers. She is more inline with the party than McCain. I am not expecting too much ''change'' from McCain if he is elected.

Joe was wrong about the SURGE.

Wanted to DIVIDE Iraq into 1/3 s. Bad idea.

Did not support liberation of Kuwaitt. voted against it.

Television Lynching leader of Justice Thomas.
He double crossed everyone.

Talk about experience.... change we don''''t need.

And... Backed and sponsored the Forever Credit CARD DEBT BILL - thank you Sen Biden....
CBS 60 MINUTES ALERT _____????????????
His sons need a close look at - Each earns over 1 million each year, as Bank Consultant, and "hedge fund" guy, in a sleezy deal set up with legal firm, even though neither have any EXPERIECE ! Is this the type of CHANGE we want ????

Appropriating Barack Obama%u2019s own message may seem like a brazen political ploy, but for McCain, it%u2019s less of a stretch than it would be for most other Republicans.
----------------------------
McCain can-t even come up with his own Campaign theme let alone NEW, FRESH ideas.

God I hope the -real- people come out to vote this year instead of the Republicans who apparently LIKE to get LIED to!

I would''nt mind it so much if it was that McCain/Palin just didn''t have any ideas.

It-s the freakin bold face lies.
Obama is going to tax middle income folks more.
Democrats stopping big oil from drilling.

Lies..just plains lies.

If they-ll lie on these things they-ll lie on other.
REALLY! It-s more of same.

Reagan Tax Cut
Republican Tax cuts results

National debt before Reagan tax Cut $900 Billion
National debt after Reagan Tax Cut $4.5 trillion

Bush tax cuts

National debt before Bush tax cuts $5 trillion
National debt after Bush tax cuts $10 trillion

Mccain/bush tax cuts will add $4.3 trillion to the national debt according to one Mccain economic adviser. Mccain says he does not know much about economics.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different results. Trickle down economics DOES NOT WORK! McCain is nuts to continue the same failed policies. No McCain in "08"!

What was McSame trying to change the last 8 years when he voted with McBush 95% of the time? He was critical of Obama''s message of change we need and now ALL OF A SUDDEN he is using the same message. The only difference is that McSame is a lying scoundrel.

Thanks to Republicans, there''s a $10 trillion debt out there, poised to enslave our children, who would be paying for Reagans administration, among others.

Servicing the debts interest payments is now the SECOND LARGEST CASH OUTLAY the Feds make, after defense spending: $300 billion a year basically to convince the rest of the world that we aren''t bankrupt.

And McCain wants those tax cuts to be permanent??? To my mind, thats a permanent enslavement of an entire generation of young Americans. And all because, at the end of the day, ''small government'' Republicans don''t mean it. They''ve bought into a lie that they want small government, but even with EVERY BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT UNDER THEIR CONTROL for 6 years, they don''t cut spending, cuz they know that would cut in to peoples gov''t services and livelihoods, and would cost them votes. So they KEEP ON CHARGING IT to the children.

Deeply, horribly, unethical.

If McCain wants change, he should join the rest of us and vote for Obama.
