If McCain wants to CUT MORE TAXES on the WEALTHY and Widen the WEALTH GAP

- WHAT ELSE WILL HE CUT FROM THE POOR and MIDDLE CLASS to LOWER THE DEBT???

Social Security?
Education?
What little Health Care there is out there?
Veteran Pensions?
VA Hospitals?
Military Benefits?
Military Pay?
Military Equipment?
Disaster Recovery?
Collapsing Roads and Bridges?
Clean Water?
Border Security?......

Or Does he thing we can just INCREASE NATIONAL DEBT FOREVER???

Yes, about 20 MILLION Golden Parachute (A true GOP term) for driving her stock price down and company to the edge of the cliff, outsourcing jobs while throwing expensive parties while flying around in her HP Exec corporate jet.

Sounds like the Democratic way. Look at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Democrats couldn''t run a lemonaid stand and get a profit.

Why doesn''''t McSame just have Bush come out and vouch for his economic plan.

After all it''s identical to Bush''s failed economic plan.

I think in order to make Carly stop talking (nobody is listening anyhow) - she needs to have something in her mouth.

Once again, Carly Florina has been allowed to talk to the press after her comments that none of the candidates, including McCain and Palin could run a company, but could run the country!

This from a woman who nearly drove HP into bankruptcy and was thrown out of her job by the HP board of directors for making STUPID decisions!

Can''t John McBush McCain find ANYONE who is competent enough to know what they are doing? If this is the staff he has "advising" him, God help us if he gets elected!!!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, THE ECONOMIC WHIZ KID, McCain!!!!
sig heil, HILIARY WHO???, Palin!!!!

Fiorina. Wasn''''t she fired from Hewlett Packard after outsourcing thousands of jobs? I bet she got a nice severance package and wants to make sure that all other executives get nicely rewarded for crippling the U.S. economy.

John McCain has that "deer in the headlights" look. He''s running back and forth across the road trying to decide with direction to take as the Mack truck approaches at 70MPH.

The KEATING 5 Financial Crisis was the DRESS REHEARSAL.

The developing NEO-DEPRESSION hitting NOW is OPENING NIGHT for their Financial "Harvest".

The best chance left now is International Outrage as the financial collapse of the US PULLS their nations down with it.

Carly Fiorina is the proverbial pig with lip stick.
Still a pig, no matter how you look at it.

The problem IS NOT some "POOR GUYS BUYING WHAT THEY COULD NOT AFFORD".

Typical that the CONS that SET UP this CRISIS would "BLAME THE VICTIM".

At least with KEATING 5 and ENRON we STILL had the NERVE, OUTRAGE and ABILITY to INVESTIGATE,BRING CHARGES and PROSECUTE some of the TOP MANIPULATORS that destroyed so many ordinary citizen''s lives!

As it looks NOW the FAT CATS that used LOBBYISTS to push through SUCH DIRTY DEALINGS will "GET AWAY WITH IT" this time.

Guess "Financial Crisis Fatigue" has set in.

So many of the American people are acting like a BEATEN HOUSEWIFE who STAYS WITH the MONSTER that beats and abuses her!

It''s been a long and convoluted CON JOB based on SELFISHNESS and GREED by people who ALREADY had MORE THAN THEIR SHARE of the Nation''s WEALTH yet in their BOTTOMLESS PIT OF GREED - Wanted MORE!

They wanted it ALL AT ANY COST even up to and Including the DESTRUCTION of the American People and their way of life!

So, this TINY SLICE of people AT THE TOP a"worked" over decades to STEAL the ENTIRE WEALTH of our great Nation slowly inserting laws that FAVORED them, buying politicians, destroying leaders they could not buy and through careful media control and education "mismanagement" -DUMBING DOWN millions.

It''s funny that this woman would pop her head up again after the "McCain couldn''t run a corporation" comment! Mr. Magoo must be thinking, "what do I have to do to shut this moron up, shoot her???"

LMAO!!!

I guess after getting fired from her mismanagement of HP, it has been hard for her to find a job.
I guess if she continues to make up stories for the McCain/Palin campaign, she hopes they will owe her and will give her something cushy in the their administation if she helps them win.

If we know anything about the Republicons Party, they aren''t keen on competence as long as you are loyal and willing to regurgitate the daily talking points, you can be put into any position at all.

Oh please, Fiorina vouches for mcsame! She''s a real piece of work, got fired from HP and she''s just as bad as mcsame is! Who really cares what "she" thinks, stop wasting time and space with this woman! mcsame has proven in many ways how unfit and out of touch he is, he will continue driving this country into the ground!

To have Fiorina vouch for your economic skills is laughable when HP was almost run into the ground under her watch, just as GW/Cheney/McSame has now run the US economy into the ground under their watch! How can you trust these fellas and gal when almost everything they "touched" turned into "salt". To have McPalin just a heartbeat away should be a real nightmare to all of us. Think of this scenerio and you would be motivated to just say NO to McSame NOW, rather than when it''s too late and you and us have nothing left, but the clothes on our backs!

And why wouldn''t she approve of McCain''s position ~ it is her position. After all, she is his economic advisor, so her opinion on his opinion is really her opinion.
Her opinion on Hillary is strictly a campaign talking point. Doubtful if she really cares about that part ~ a bit like Palin, trying to use Hillary to promote Palin. The differences are glaring.

McCain has been a leader to deregulate Wall Street and the banks. His 26 years provide evidence.

Our economic crisis is directly caused by Senator McCain''s irresponsible actions. I pray the media talks about this fact.
