McCain, Obama clash on cause, cure for econ crisis

Unfortunately, I don't think McCain will help their cause.
Guess this year I side with the Democrats.
MaCain will win
Now I've never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I'll watch the debate and see what both of these guys have to say. Neither of them are squeaky clean, but for all that they have to put up with, we're lucky anyone is willing to run.
Let's give them a listen.
OOPs, I forgot, I bought a home I could afford and paid it off early! Maybe I should go and buy another home I CANNOT afford and see if I can get the government to help me pay for that one!
SWEET DEAL if you can get it, and have no moral principles whatsoever!
For that matter, does Global Warming even exist? From the Oregon Coast, north to Alaska, 2008 has been the coldest summer on record. Where exactly is this warming taking place??
Voting for a 3rd party in any sort of numbers (5-10 percent) at least makes the major parties notice that they're being watched!
If McCain would have opposed the bailout he would have shown that he's not another Bush instead of just saying it.
The Obama vs. McCain poll numbers would probably be reversed.
It is funny to see the CNN focus group responses. Each time McCain attacks and goies negative, so does the line. I have yet to see the lines go negative during Obama's talk time.
Catch a LIAR by the toe,
If it hollers just vote NO!
Eenie Minnie minie moe.
Neither candidate was very impressive...
but I don't trust Obama more.
And I have to say it was the most boring debate I ever saw.
I didn't know they had debate reruns.
1. He pulls the troops out of Iraq, the MID East will turn into a firestrom - How many dead Jews?
2. He will socialize medicine, get ready for the biggest tax increase in history.
3. He will appoint a liberal supreme court. There goes the 2nd amendment.
4. He will gather all guns except law enforcement
5. We will go green, get use to riding a bus or a scooter to work and one piece of toilet paper per event.
Life will get worse as we know it.
AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE !!!
This should be a good debate?~~
I wish The Beverly Hillbilly's had been on another channel.
At least Mr.Drysdale the banker had some creditability.
Old Jed's a millionaire.
Everybody sing!
McCain just went over the voters head with a Chinese lead balloon.
Now I wished I would have voted for Romney.
Sorry, pal. I'm not an Obama campaign worker from out of state. I live and work in Utah County, I'm LDS, I was born and raised in Utah. I know, it blows some peoples' minds to discover there are LDS Utahns that are democrats... And the number of Utahn Obama supporters is growing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's turned Utah blue in four years' time.
MaCain fan:
I honestly can't tell if you are sincere or if you are making fun of ignernt republicans. Either way it's hilarious.
Getting rid of earmarks, especially when you're signing bills with earmarks, will be difficult. I'm just sorry I didn't buy a bigger house, I can use the space, but I always thought you were supposed to buy what you could pay for. Silly me, if McCain's idea goes through at least someone who couldn't afford my dream house will get it.
Sarah Palin adds zero economic credibility to the ticket, and I just can't imagine Palin as president. (OK, before I am accused of sexism: I can easily imagine Condi Rice or even Hillary Clinton as president.)
The more I think about it, the more think that choosing Palin over Mitt tells me something is not right with McCain's judgment.
Besides, McCain is corrupt and stupid, and by now we all know what that combo in the oval office amounts to...
That doesn't mean we don't need to take better care of the planet, but the scare tactics of the left are not needed. Anyone that can't see that Al Gore's mission is nothing more than a money/power grab ought to look into that bridge up in Ketchikan.
For Gore's part, he's still flying around in his buddy's 757, driving an SUV, and living with his family of 4 in a 10,000 square foot mansion. Ditto Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, Streisand, Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, et al.
See, to the liberal elites, making real changes to help the environment (and paying more taxes, etc) is for the "commoners."
Our recent summers have nothing on 1954, which rates by far the "worst" summer ever. That year was the coldest summer -- with just an average high temperature of 70.13 degrees through the summer. It was also the second-most frequently rainy with rain on 32 of the 92 days (behind 1964's rain on 35 days.) It gets a very low Summer Sanity Index of "5".
The best summer? 1967. That was the warmest summer on record -- 82.76 degrees and good for "100" on the index, and the driest with just 4 rainy days that summer -- all in June -- to give it a perfect Summer Sanity Index of 100.
So what about this summer (2008)? For Portland, it wasn't too shabby, rating a 50.5 -- just about the most normal summer you can expect. The average temperature was 77.55 degrees -- slightly above average and good for a score of 59.
As for rain, it was just a little wetter than average, with 22 rainy days compared to the average of 19, scoring 42 on the Index.
Who's lying?
"Maybe it happened because Obama really IS ahead, and he's going to beat those old white republican dudes back into obscurity for awhile."
Pointing out someone's skin color is unnecessary. If you do that, you think that skin color is important, but it's not. It's not any more important than the person's eye color, or hair color, or their gender.
If you bring up a person skin color, whether you seem to be for that skin color or against that skin color, that makes you a racist.
I don't think so, you have to look at the whole picture and quit leaving out the elderly, disabled, and the poor who do'nt have a house, who are working their but's off trying to live from paycheck to paycheck.
How about it? People are getting about the same as they were in 1993 on social security disability so actually were getting about 1/3 less than then.
Obama seems to be in the driver's seat overall. But, that's why we hold the election. The polls don't decide it, real votes will. Time will tell.
Whoever wins, they have a mess to clean up. Not to mention a very divided country.
