McCain: Obama Lying About My Economic Record

McCain lobbed attacks on Obama today as the markets were in freefall.

Republican John McCain is calling Democratic rival Barack Obama a liar.

The GOP presidential candidate told a campaign rally: "Sen. Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed."

Read more about the turmoil in the markets today.

It has been another extraordinary and traumatic day on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones industrials plunging as much as 800 points before closing with a loss of about 350.

The catalyst for the frantic selling was investors' growing realization that the credit crisis is likely to take a heavy toll around the world. And while the Bush administration is starting to implement its $700 billion financial rescue plan, that and steps taken by other governments won't be enough to stop the global spread of credit troubles.

The latest polls consistently suggest that 80% of the country think, overall, that things are going in the wrong direction. OK.......1­2%, however, think that things are heading in the {{{right}}} direction!­!!!...... Are there that many members of Al-Qaeda in the public? lol.....
.....Guess there are just that many lobotomized Rethug lemmings and tr0lls willing to follow their Dear Leader and his old and senescent doppelganger McSame over the cliff.

[Horus45]

That would be the "Moonie" faction of the Republican base who thinks that.

[HypnoToad]

It looks like the trol) SarahPalinRulez is more than willing to deny Americans the right to vote because of circumstane, illnesses, and skin color.

[breakingnews]

I do love the smell of troII stew this early in the morning. Gives us an example of how the lambs will be screaming tomorrow morning.

[SarahPalinRulez]

Wrong. I want everyone to vote ONCE and LEGALLY without people telling drunken bums WHO TO VOTE FOR.

[Heavy]

No one is telling you how to vote.

[breakingnews]

Guess what asshat, many of those "drunken bums" are homeless Vets that John McStain votes against time and time again!

[Kalima]

Drunken bums, what colour are they, white?

[U R 1 2]

Absolutely correct! The Rethugs can't win legitimately and truthfully and so they try to steal, divert, obfuscate.­.....any and all means to deny the vote to any group they deem likely to vote against them. They are unAmerican and unpatriotic. They wear their little flag pins and wave the flag, but truly don't care anything about the Constitution; they are about 'show' and winning at all costs! Nothing more.

[SarahPalinRulez]

Do you remeber this?

Obama was leading in the polls before McCain announced Palin. Liberals were all over the place quoting polls.

Then McCain announced Palin, and the polls switched to favor McCain. Liberals were FLIPPING OUT and a lot of them here were demanding David Axelrod be fired and Obama's entire campaign be shaken up.

Now that Obama is leading in the polls again, Liberals are back to their poll-quoting and loving Obama's campaign staff.

Do you know now why people call Liberals "knee-jerk"?

[35Echo]

I get the last part but not the 'knee' part.

[Heavy]

Because insults are all they have?

[theplaintrutho1]

Uh huh, I agree.

The real trouble is, that Liberals support the very people that have cause all their problems, the MSM. The Liberals continue to watch, listen and read the very same "brainwashing" people that brought us the war in the wrong country.

They even listen to the bill of goods being sold about our so-called "free-economy" without over-site. We now know there are many racist in that group as well. African-Americans have been easily fooled by this group throughout the years. Starting with JFK through LBJ's token welfare programs, designed to keep them as second-class citizens. These Liberals also brought them the F erraro's, Hill's and "hill-raisers" etc.
These people dumped Dean for Kerry's my wife makes ketchup, to change the taste.

Trouble is:
The polls were lying then, and lying now. O is probably so far out in front, they hire their own liers, like C. Todd to make them up.

Us Conservatives only liked Mac while He opposed the lies of Bus h, Che ney & the destructive part of the GOP. His outright lies and pick of Gov.-Muthe­e-Babe for VP, all while using gimmicks to sell the people on himself, is over.

[U R 1 2]

You can bet that bottom-feeding tr0ll will never admit its mistakes. Cudos to you HypnoToad!

[U R 1 2]

Stop feeding the tr0lls!! The poor nasty things only leave more 'droppings­'.....scra­pe those 'droppings' off and walk on......po­st outside their posts or you give the poor things a quarter with each of your responsible 'feeds' (responses)! tsk tsk

[SarahPalinRulez]

Typical Liberal who only wants to preach to the choir and not debate.

[U R 1 2]

Typical greedy tr0ll who wants its quarters! ewwwwwwwww!

[Heavy]

Ironic. That is the first post I have seen you actually defend. Why do you hate the middle class?

[scandals&skeletons]

debate this:

Sarah Palin now attacking Barack Obama for knowing William Ayers a 60's radical who engaged in horrible anti-American acts when Obama was 8 years old.On the other hand the press has not made much of a more troubling association of Sarah & Todd Palins. Joe Vogler is the head of the Alaskan Independence Party. This is a quote from him.
"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," He said this in an interview in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession from the United States, the key goal of the AIP.

Todd Palin, VP nominee Sarah Palin's husband, was a member of this radical group from Oct. 1995 through July 2002. 7 years! Sarah Palin herself has courted this fringe group, in fact she gave a speech to the AIP in March of 2008.


Senator John McCain has always been a champion for the deregulation of Wall street. He was a leading supporter of the 1999 Phil Gramm sponsored legislation that repealed the Glass-Steagell act of 1933, an FDR measure that created walls between banking, investment, and insurance businesses so that problems in one arena could not bleed over into others-the major source of our current dilemma.
We would be remiss to overlook the fact that the same Phil Gramm is John McCain's head economic advisor and the man many say Senator McCain would put in charge of our economy if elected President.

You mistake cents for sense.

[RobertaInCT]

I agree, they are not worth the attention.

[gladys46]

They believe they "debate" Haaaa! They shaddow box void of a factual issues based word!

[HypnoToad]

I try my hardest to warn others. I think we are having some affect. I keep seeing long time l_iars finally get b@nned.

[theplaintrutho1]

I'm not so sure about that. What you say has merritt, but if only one undecided believes in that persons out-right lies & BS, it's worth calling them on it.

[SarahPalinRulez]

HypnoToad, you lambasted me and said "felons can't vote."

Were you right or were you wrong? Will you be man enough to admit you were wrong?

[scandals&skeletons]

You never posted proof of Obama campaign signing up felons etc....
You first tr0ll

[SarahPalinRulez]

It in the NY Post today. Look it up.

[gladys46]

Many states have given the right to vote to many non-violent ex-offenders who have served their incarceration periods ... the basis is because of the desparate numbers of minorities arrested and convicted as opposed to those non minorities never arrested for same offenses!!

[HypnoToad]

Well from what I read, I was wrong. It seems some states do allow people who have served time as a felon vote. But apparently you believe it is OK to deny people of their legal right to vote. Am I right or am I wrong?

[SarahPalinRulez]

You are wrong. I want everyone to cast a LEGAL vote. No funny business. And I don't trust these Obama drivers picking up homeless alcoholics, drug addicts and felons from shelters and registering them to vote and telling them to vote for Obama.

[scandals&skeletons]

woops, my bad.

I meant to post:

You never provided proof of the oBama campaign "signin" up felons etc...

[grizhead63]

Felons vote all the time. How else would cons get elected?

[scandals&skeletons]

In honor of the apperantly illiterate Vp choice of John McCain, I suggest we all refrain from using G's at the end of words ending in "ing".

[U R 1 2]

By a 21 point margin, 50%-29%, voters said the Democrats had the debate edge over rival Republican running mates John McCain and Sarah Palin, while 10% of respondents said the two tickets were equally as good and 4% said neither was good.
Guess old, old, old McSame will come out squawking tonight in a panic! rotfl

[TakingBackTheUSA]

Wow, Republicans have really advanced the application of projection of their own actions and guilt onto others.

"if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed." - John McCain, from the Karl Rove play book

This is also something that the Republicans have used extensively, yet they cry foul if it starts to feel like it is being used against them. Republicans in general, SarahPalinRulez being a great example, love to be the bearer of double standards. It's fine as long as they are the only ones committing the act. When someone else returns the favor, it's an aggregious and unpatriotic act.

Personally I'm getting sick of republican's beating everyone over the head with the American Flag and the Crucifix, insinuating that they alone decide who is a patriot and or a Christian.

[larazon]

Believe it or not, Sarah Palin has something in common with Hil-lary. She mobilizes Democrats and even Indies to un-ite, like Hill mobilizes Repubs. Sweet.

[gladys46]

So true!!!

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Repubes are trying all the Hillary tactics that failed.

They are so lacking in ideas, that they have to draw from a failed campaign.

The latest CNN survey found Obama now leads McCain 53 to 45 percent, doubling the 4-point lead Obama held in the last CNN poll in mid-September.

The Gallup daily tracking poll also show Obama leads by 8 percent, with 50 percent of the respondents supporting him and 42 percent supporting McCain.

In all other national polls, Obama's leading margins range from6 to 8 percent.
The Straight Jacket Express has derailed and is desperate. Good riddance.

CBS Poll - Presidential Race Tightens

(CBS) In a sign that the race for president has returned to about where it was before the first presidential debate, the Obama-Biden ticket leads the McCain-Palin ticket 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters in a new CBS News poll.

The Obama-Biden ticket led by a wider margin, nine percentage points, in a CBS News poll released last Wednesday, before Joe Biden and Sarah Palin faced off in the vice presidential debate. Obama-Biden led by five percentage points on Sept. 25.

In the new poll, the Democratic ticket leads by 3 percentage points, 48 percent to 45 percent, among likely voters.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

This is uninteresting and irrelevant. The sample size of that poll is only 616.

"I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed."

Hasn't this been the core Republican strategy for at least 2 decades now?

[U R 1 2]

The remarkably hypocritical, pandering and craven transformation the "Straight Talker" has undergone since 2000 is itself an unsettling reflection of the depths he will sink to try to win. Consider that Tucker Eskew, who helped craft a tremendously devastating smear campaign against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary, is NOW a McCain campaign adviser. The old cowardly lion can't sink any lower....o­r can he? Time will tell.

[gladys46]

His very own "least common denominator" ... Mc speaks to who HE is!! Obama has inspired a happy, hopeful America ... a more perfect union!!! Who can honestly say that of those clearly incited to hatred by a McSame/Palin smear "based" campaign!?
