Comments on: McCain Pledges Break With Bush On Economy

Republican Seeks To Prove He Is Different From President And From Obama

[brianbwb-2009]

"I will create millions of jobs through tax cuts that spur economic growth," McCain said."

Trickle down advocates since Reagan have been telling that same lie for decades, it hasn''t worked yet.

"Break from Bush"? Right, in name only.

Seriously? No really, seriously? McCain is going to break from Bush? After 8 years he chooses the week before the election to pledge his economic break from Bush? Oh and this from the guy who PROMISES THAT HE WILL "Veto every pork-barrel bill that crosses my desk! I will make them famous! You will know their names!" Not two weeks later he votes for a bailout package LOADED with pork! Pardon? Seriously?

NEEDERBAUR, has too much time on his hands he keeps posting this same lie to every other post on this site. all lies.

The only Break, McCain is sanctioning is the big corporate tax breaks to the wealthiest Fortune 500 companies; that''s why he is advised by their lobbyists.

It would be a laugh if it were not so serious, some of the people here will be raising tomorrows minds. God help us all if we can''t get along and agree to disagree. I believe McCain is bad for the Presidency, he''s is an admirable senator but would make an untenable executive.

If Obama wanted to emulate McCain''s attack ads, we would hear robocalls in the Heartland informing America''s patriots that McCain:

a) was in the pocket of former Lincoln Savings & Loan president and convicted criminal Charles Keating;

b) was buddies with fellow convicted criminal Republicans Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Scooter Libby, Bob Allen, Trent Lott, Jack Abramoff, Don Young, Larry Craig, Randy %u201CDuke%u201D Cunningham, Tom Feeney, Alberto Gonzoles, Bob Ney, Rick Renzi, Richard Curtis, Steven Griles, Mark Foley...etc;

c) accepted political donations from the Watergate convicted criminal G. Gordon Liddy;

d) picked a runningmate mired in scandal (Troopergate) and has acted "unethical" according to her own people - - and doctored expense reports to bilk her taxpayers;

e) gave up information to his communist captors in North Vietnam, whereas other American prisoners did NOT;

You can%u2019t call yourself a patriot while voting for criminals.

McCain''s past record shows that he is the lobbyist''s best friend, why else would they have helped Resurrect him from the dead? His campaign was tanking then all of the sudden it was flush with funds and he was able to continue campaigning. McCain will get the money flowing allright...right into the hands of corporate America. Big McCain said he''d stop all the porkbarrel buffets, he said he''d veto any bill packed with pork, and that we''d know the names of the people. Well that big corporate buyout/bailout/rescue bill he signed was loaded with pork. So when is big McCain going to give us his name????

YOu people keep looking at McCain''s silly ideas and you keep missing the point. Independent economists have reviewed the so called McCain plan and it will add at least $5 Trillion to the national debt. And it will do nothing to stimulate the finances of the "middle class" you remember the "middle class", they are the ones who when faced with foreclosure were told by McCain to take a hike. Then all of the sudden when the cameras are rolling McCain is the middle classes best friend. McCain and Palin could care less about the middle class; they have their mouthes so tight around the assess of corporate America that they can taste their bile. McCain keeps spouting that Obama will tax, sure he will tax the upper rich those making well over $250,000 and I am sure none of the people blogging fall into that category. Wake the "F" up people!!!!

Or is he breaking with the latest Bush/Paulson socialism?

I just don''t get it.

[nearl4511]

McCain is going to drastically break with Bush by cutting all big oil and big Pharma taxes to zero?

Seriously. John used to stand up for things early in the Bush administration. But he moved closer to Bush the last 2 years in all things: tax cuts to the wealthy, torture, the works. What happened to this man?
