And I don’t know sh** about economics either, but I saved a bundle on car insurance.

HAAAA!!!HAAAA!!!

Kinda dumb. When I say it’s a “Ron Paul ad,” I mean it’s in support of Ron Paul, not a real campaign ad. You know, created by his various twit supporters. Although McCain here obviously has absolutely no idea what……

But really, who is it that has the power to turn economics anyway…nt the POTUS. No matter what, Congress ultimately has the power for that. But yeah, McCain’s been in Washington long enough to where he really can’t say “I don’t know much” about that…

In any event: McCain 08!

Baloney. The Prez has much power over regulations. He can eliminate so much waste and restrictions that the economy would explode. He doesn’t, but we all know why: Power and pandering.

McCain is unfit for the office. Bill Richardson’s more qualified.

John McCain and Miss Teen SC on economics.

Dude, both you and McCain must be realizing right about now that its impossible to sell McAmnesty to conservatives.

He’s posting this on the others too.

For great insight into “Why McCain?”….please read THIS from RedState.

Dude, both you and McCain must be realizing right about now that its impossible to sell McAmnesty to conservatives.

“I just thought it was too tilted to the wealthy and I still do. I want to cut the taxes on the middle class.” Even when I confront him with emphatic evidence that those tax cuts have been an economic triumph and have increased revenues, he is unrepentant and defends his “no” vote by falling back on class-warfare type thinking: “We have a wealth gap in this country, and that worries me.”

This is the John Mc. we’ve grown to know and NOT love in AZ. He sounds like Edwards in this quote. Listen up Conservatives; McCain is not your friend, he’s entirely too interested in the opinion of the Liberal elite and NYTimes, and he’s just old enough to be a bit looney and eccentric. I don’t care if you pick Mitt or Rudy, but McCain is not an option for a fiscal conservative.

The DhimmiNannyFeatocrats should take the full rap for the country’s ineluctible slide into Nannydhimmifeatitude.

The hideous muddy RINOs have bogged us down enough, starting with the current RINO-in-Chief!

What’s so wrong with controlling spending? Eh…Like I said, McCain did eventually vote for the Bush tax cuts.

(Am I the only former FredHead in the McCain camp ’round here?) So ronery…

Nothing wrong with controlling spending, but a conservative would have voted for tax cuts, period. By the way, I am a Fredhead as well.

Oh yeah, it’s McCain, who voted against Bush’s tax cuts.
Perhaps…but remember, he did end up voting for the tax cuts…and the main realon he voted against them first, was because they weren’t “permanent”. Which makes sense…

Wrong JetBoy, McCain tried to cover all the bases on this one. But if you go back and listen to/read the statements he made during the tax cut debate you will find a whole lot of dem talking points coming out of McAmnesty’s mouth (as usual). For starters:

“I cannot in good concience, support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief.” -John McCain, in 2001

That quote could have easily come out of the mouth of Teddy Kennedy or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or John Kerry or John Edwards or Hillary Clinton. It probably has come out of each of their mouths at one time or another – word for word.

“The issue
of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” McCain said. “I’ve got Greenspan’s book.”
-John McCain

How true.

Let us hope that the lesson is: second-time presidential loser.
