The real shame of the upcoming elections is that not only does McCain have no clue about the economy apparently neither do Americans in general. With economic disaster on the horizon and polls stating that the economy is the main issue- people consistently and overwhelmingly vote for economic illiterates. Just goes to show that the vast majority of Americans are living in lala land.

THE 5% GUY IS STILL IN THE RACE!
How is it that nobody notices that?

Thank you so much for pointing out Ron Paul is still in the race! No one else in the media seems to want to acknowledge that.

I agree with most of the opinion here; it's very funny clip. I don't hate McCain--I think he has integrity and will say what he believes; I just think that his skills and his beliefs would lead the country in the wrong direction.

I think it highlights the way the campaign would play out in the two competing scenarios:

Clinton v. McCain: the memes of "character" and "trustworthiness" become big issues. The real issues are relegated to the backburner, and the election is far closer than it should be--perhaps even a McCain victory. We get Mr. Teen South Carolina as our president.

Obama v. McCain: the "character" memes are relegated to the fringe (the B HUSSAIN O IS A MUSLIMIST EXTREMEIST fringes). The real issues are allowed to take center stage. Obama wins in a landslide because people agree with his positions.

Campaigns are about big, powerful themes. If Clinton runs, the themes are about trust and character. If Obama runs, the themes are about change and competence v. the status quo and a lack of curiosity. The Democrats should clean up in this election. Support Barack Obama!

heck, these two give carbon molecules a bad name.

But there you have it. That is the future of mankind and we are doomed. We aren't being dumbed down. We are dumb. We have seen the future and its right here on the west coast of South Carolina, just across the boarder from Spain.

"R" is for "Stupid"

Don't pick on Lauren, she's smarter than McCain.

The video fails to make the point, even though it tries to confuse McCain's answer (who does not compare to Miss Teen) by some horrible editing.

One wonders if people then are saying "crazy uncle" Paul is the right man for the economy. The irony!

This is great, shows that you don't have to worry too much about McCain being a strong opponent.

Obama should bring Dr.Paul into the mix as the head, our a major shapper of his finance team.

Hoover, Harding, Reagan. Those three stooges didn't understand economics either.

This. Was. HILARIOUS.

A message that needs to be heard: MCCAIN FAILED ECONOMICS. His "strength" will be keeping us in Iraq for a hundred years.

In fairness to John McCain, he has admitted that he doesn't understand economics

( excuse me, BWWWHHHHAA­AAAAAHHHHH­AAA HHHHAAAA )

at all.

So, John, in fairness to the people of the US, would you kindly admit all the other things that you don't understand, things like The Constitution, History, Foreign Policy, Domestic Policy, Government, etc. ?

this is a stupid video, doesn't make a point at all

When all the republican men were running for the white house it was like the keystone kops with them running into each other then bouncing another direction. Now Huck and McCain have dialed down the energy level to where you goota really have serious coffee or energy drinks with a bunch of cafeine to keep you awake. If you try to pay attention to McCain he will confuse you or spend so long explaining something until you forget what he was talking about. The rest of the time he's talking you ave to keep a score card to know how many times he changes positions and on what. I wonder if someone should check to see if he wants to be like reagan so much he already (?) has the disease that Ronnie got and his mind and reality are going rapidly.

The saddest part is you can plug in any of the last three candidates repuke or dumb into that role and come up with the same thing. None of them have a clue. They're all too busy promising the sky and kissing their parties fringe kooks butts on both ends to give a crap about anything else. Shake 'em up, reach into the box and grab one because they are all the same but make sure you wash your hands afterwards to get the stench of BS and greed off.
