"My friends" is how FDR began his fireside chats back in the Great Depression. It is indeed creepy to hear McCain trying to channel FDR.

McCain feels no one's pain as he travels between his 7 houses in his private jet.

McCain was involved in the Keating Five and Americans paid billions to cover the losses.

McCain was very silent about the banking scandal that his closer to home - Silver State Bank

Not a single person in the main stream media has bothered to look at the McCain family investments and the McCain family foundations that were vested in Silver State Bank.

Somehow the McCain's interests were protected and the American taxpayer has been left with billions of dollars of debt.

"Regulators on Friday shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development. "

I"t was the 11th failure this year of a federally insured bank. "

"Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nev. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30. "

"Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp"

McCain's son allowed the same greedy lending practices that contributed the the chaos on Wall Street

McCain's new found economic populism (since this past Monday) gives new meaning to the term "running away from your record."

Had enough yet?

[westreal]

Very informative. We can't have a crook in the White House.

Is it any wonder?

There's nothing worse than a man who hides behind the facade of military honor while cheating and lying to the American people. Obviously, McCain has said even this year that he's for deregulation. He can't run from it now, like all the Republicans are trying to run from their party.

Like Chris Matthews said, "you guys are taking off your uniforms"

McCain is beating the drum of patriotism against Senator Obama...while the horrifying fruits of the REPUBLICAN PARTY rule of the last 8 years is taking its final grab of Billions from the American Taxpayer. There is no other choice, vote Democrat.

oh snap

"Fool me once, shame on the pet goat, fool me again, um, you sure fooled me."

Well, I'm not as eloquent as Mr. Bush, but you get the gist.

Hey, at least last time around somebody ended up in jail. Doubt that'll happen this go 'round.

JOHN MCCAIN AND KEATING FIVE MY GRANDPARENTS WANT THEIR MONEY BACK!
GIVE MY FAMILY AND THE TAX'S PAYER BACK THEIR MONEY MCCAIN/KEATING

[valleygent]

Hey D...shout it from the mountain tops of Arizona!!

I suggested these ads a few days ago.

Different crisis same John McCain
Voice over: In 1992 Senator John McCain was faced with another banking crisis in the savings and loan industry. Investigators of the S&L market collapse concluded: John McCain exercised poor judgment in his dealings with the industry.
Now John McCain wants you to trust his judgment with today’s banking crisis on Wall Street.
We can’t afford four more years of George Bush and John McCain.

Social Insecurity

Voice over: In 2004 George Bush and John McCain tried to have your Social Security invested by Wall Street and Senator Barrack Obama and Congressional Democrats stopped them.
With the recent Wall Street collapse what would have happened to your Social Security had Senator Obama and the Democrats not stopped George Bush and John McCain?
Barrack Obama, ready to lead, John McCain more of the same.

[TrooAmerican]

Sounds good to me, cept i'd be harder on McCain with harsher tone and words.
And i'd throw in his "Mentor" Phil Whiner Gramm and his Mortgage Deregulation Legislation that went through McCain while he was Chairman.

[Punkynsnow]

I heartily second both these motions!

Vic from Ohio, send the Obama camp and email...

[yvonne61]

NAIL HIIS A@@

[JamesInDenver]

McCain certainly has a taste for high living. A $100 million dollar wife, ten family homes, and a private jet. But it seems even that's not enough.

How more many Bank scandals can American's afford? Do we really want McCain and Gramm creating bank regulations?

[Housewife]

My name is Elmer Fudd. I own a mansion and a yacht.

[rocky786]

None of that matters in the Here After...
