He is absolutely right in teh second video. However, I know people like him would never care to acknowledge that the 12-20million uninvited guests he is so keen to allow to flow in unfettered who all have sub-minimum wage jobs kinda throw off the average a bit.

The economy is suffering because of inflated oil prices & deflated home prices.
Is either Bush’s fault?

Obama quotes McCain: “John McCain thinks our economy has made great progress under George W. Bush,” he told an audience at Penn State Erie, referencing an interview McCain had Thursday with Bloomberg Television.
But Obam…

How will McCain handle the question that Ronald Reagan asked when debating Jimmy Carter, “Are You Better Off”?

The price of gasoline in 2001 was $1.39 per gallon. Now, it’s $4. The number of Americans lacking health insurance was 38 million; now, it’s 47 million. The national debt was $5.7 trillion in 2001; now, it’s $9.2 trillion. The dollar was worth 1.07 euro; now, it’s .68.

Democrats will do the same to McCain, and he’d better get ready with answers. Although polls now show him running virtually even with both of his Democratic rivals, Democrats think that the 2008 update on Ronald Reagan’s famous question from 1980 – when he trounced Jimmy Carter – eventually will prove devastating to McCain, too.

Team Maverick is irate because McCain is still undecided whether to concede the presidency to Hussein now or to wait until November.

If McCain wins, you buy me a drink, and we’ll talk about your world travels, and mine.

Hm. So does McCain think we are better off because of Bush’s economic policies or not?

Spirit of 1776 on April 18, 2008 at 3:53 PM

I have the same question. It seems McCain is playing it both ways, but overall, he seems to say the economy is doing great. Plus, he doesn’t answer the question that was asked (at least not in this clip).

After the 100 years ‘misquote’, Team McCain charges that Obama is distorting McCain once again…
Via Conservative Punk. For a change, this one has nothing to do with spending 100 years in Iraq. Team Maverick is irate, for good reason a…

you know what’s scary, who are the people cheering him on?

These are the same people who populate the studio audience at “The View” and cheer at every anti-Bush, anti-Republican screed that comes out of any pie hole but Elisabeth’s.

Heh. “My friends…”

As I was musing the answer to your question, it occurred to me if McCain was Mr. Principled, we could stop any amnesty bill in his administration simply by loading it up with pork.

Moreover, why is he in favor of eliminating gas taxes from Memorial Day – Labor Day, but in favor of the Carbon tax, which could last forever?

In the immortal words of Mr. T…. FOOL!
Apparently the old saw about ’sauce for the goose being also sauce for the gander’ means nothing to you, eh?

Oh no, I’m in complete agreement with you. Let’s not talk about Obama here on the Obama page with the Obama story. Let’s talk about what Jimnospin want’s to talk about. That’s McCain and Mitt, right? You keep talking about McCain and Mitt. Have at it.

If we’re in a world of hurt why does he want to impose a hurtful carbon tax on Americans?

Hm. Excellent question.

While Barry is taking Mac out of context, call me unimpressed by Mac’s words since he sounds more like Barry than Ronnie.

If we’re in a world of hurt why does he want to impose a hurtful carbon tax on Americans?

Sen. Obama usually calls this sort of thing, “Playing Politics”. But apparently, that’s only applies when someone says things like this about him. (see the last democratic debate).
Here’s the prequel to this distortion.
……

Good luck with that Mr. “Change”.

By all means, let’s not talk about Obama here, but what McCain said to Mitt months ago. You rock Jimnospin, YOU ROCK!!!!

Team Maverick is irate

Are you sure about that?

Team Maverick is irate because McCain is still undecided whether to concede the presidency to Hussein now or to wait until November.
