A Fake Headline That's Actually True

A friend of mine said that with McCain's new lines of attacks, he's basically giving up on the economy.

I think that pretty much sums up the state of John McCain's campaign, so while I won't expect to see this headline in The Washington Post, I wouldn't disagree with it one bit:

Fake headline... yes

Reality - the GOP are out for blood & the next 30 days will test our good common sense. The attacks will be nasty (check - already began). The campaign speeches will revert to old lies (check - you can repackage an old, tired, already proven to be false issue in old newspwaper.....)


I want the OBAMA/BIDEN ticket to remain above the crap. The McCain camp already said that they are taking the gloves off.... let them get their hands dirty - clealy playing in dirt suits them fine...


McCain has turned his back on MANY issues - he has no answers for America & that is scary.

He needs no halloween costume...

Change really does mean to bring something different.. I am voting for change because I can't take four more years of the same.

When the mass mailing for people 401K statement arrives in the mail this next two weeks.. people are going to see a dramatic drop in their nest egg...... They will have less money to rely on for retirement or future investments for example kids college funds..


This will be another turning point for America...

Americans will vote for change..

America will vote for Barack Obama and his excellent judgment to lead us through this Republican mess.

YES WE CAN...........

Obama/Biden... 2008, 2012

ps- I get to early vote on Monday.. I am ECSTATIC...!!

I remember his "town hall" speech during the primaries (I think) when he jokingly stated that the economy wasn't his strong suit, and it has REALLY come back to bite him on the ass!

Vote for Obama and go after all of the profiteers. If found guilty,charge them with treason. We can get back ALOT of money that way which can go towards better uses than some traitors bank account.
I think if mccain goes negative,(like he hasn't already)it's going to end up like everything else his campaign has done. It's going to backfire.

GOP.....R.I.P

the Dems should send a little note over to the GOP. "You stop the negative ads, or we start bringing up Keating 5, AIP, your health, Palin's tax forgetfulness, your gambling, etc."

This should be in an Obama AD.

[Cherlesq]

It will be. Wait for it.

How Johnny's campaign thinks that they can just turn the page on the economy shows how out of touch they are. The bailout bill will not save our economy in the long run. Just a band-aid for a major bleeder. Let's ask how we have gotten to this place...the GOP.

[Shellly]

John McCain should take some of his own advice from the last debate... he does not know a tactic from a strategy, and revealing your game plan ahead of time to the Washington Post is just plain dumb.. John 'you can't say that out loud!'

[DaOne]

Hi economic plan is to roll the dice......that's also his plan with everything else.

[edwarvir]

He likes to Gamble, He doesn't know very much about
financial affairs. He turns and runs when the going gets
tough, and he wants us to take a chance on him, and
Gamble away our lives.. NOPE ! DON'T THINK SO. by golly



OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[Plowboy]

It is taking America a long time to see through this McKeating.
But if he can't change the focus, those eyesights will gradually improve.

[KeithMayass]

mcannot . you re leaving in ether. stop the j.u.i.c.e

[Icantbelieveher]

Two words: Keating 5.

Glass houses and all that!

[Frenchy9]

This should make a very funy ad, and true also!:

"...Greg Strimple, one of McCain's top advisers. "We are looking forward to turning a page on this financial crisis and getting back to discussing Mr. Obama's aggressively liberal record and how he will be too risky for Americans."

THIS IS A GOLD MINE, and it's true. What a confession!

[Mugzi]

Well, he did admit he doesn't know much about economics!!!! Wow, that's not exactly an endorsement for MY vote! Statistics and economists have all shown that Democrats are better for the economy and producing jobs...that is an endorsement for MY vote!

[bitemeredstate]

Hey Greg, the funny thing is that the $850Billion band aid is not going to stop our current economic free fall by tomorrow morning.

[bellabella]

I find all of these tactics the Repubs are using the last 30 days are INEXCUSABLE!!! Seriously People WAKE UP, this is the worst Economic Disaster since 1929 and McCain wants to just ignore it and get past it so he can tell the WORLD what a SCARY BAD man Barak Obama is????? McCain thinks we are a nation of kindergarden children "whining" and don't pay any attention when we go fill up our tanks at the gas station, heck, some of us don't even get the LUXURY of "Filling" up the tank, just getting enough to get us to work and back. My Single Daughter can't raise her daughter right now because she is working 3 jobs, so I am raising her. This Crisis WILL hit all of America at some point, we are all in this together, we may not like the way we got into it, but it's here and the only person I see that even wants to try and make it better for ALL of us is Obama. Please get out and VOTE on Nov 4th, it could be the most important thing you do. IGNORE THE SMEARS, NOT THIS YEAR NOT THIS TIME.!!!
