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.

This piece of artwork, "the mad tea party", sums it all up. We can't take another minute of it, let alone four years.

IraqWarVet you are no vet. Otherwise you would not support the many, many times Mccain has voted against the troops.
==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­=====

Put it this way, Palin has been abroad more often than Iraq War Vet!!!!

[dentuso]

Saying Palin was abroad will probably be seen as se xist by the tr0lls.

[HypnoToad]

Bot posts are very funny, DaOne and dentuso.

[HypnoToad]

Just to save others the trouble, RightandYouknowit is only eleven hours old. 'nuff said.

[RightandYouknowit]

Just to save you the trouble, the only ones who care are you, VulvainBir­kenstocks, and ClaptrapOldMan.

[ThunderclapNewman]

Ah, a new Neo sock.

That explains everything.

Flag and report as abusive.

[MPCarr]

Why doesn't the press just interview William Ayers and settle once and for all what the relationship is between him and Obama.

The Keating Five was investigated extensively. John McCain and John Glenn were exonerated from any wrongdoing.

[dentuso]

As was Ayers, you idi ot!

You want to talk about the economy now?

[ThunderclapNewman]

McCain was NOT exonerated.

He was formally reprimanded by the Senate Ethics Committee for "poor judgment."

There is no connection between Obama and Ayers other than that which was detailed in the NYT.

Bush talked about this being the "house of cards". For the most part, each of us worked meticulously to keep our house in order, knowing that the option was foreclosure and bankruptcy. Little did we know that our home, whether it be brick or stone, would not be able to stand big bad wolf. Bush and the greedy GOP huffed and puffed and blew our homes and our savings right out from under us. In the story, the wolf is made to pay. How will it end in this real world?

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Bush will hide in Paraguay. A safe place for a war criminal and proven Iiar.

FINISH HIM


OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

[RightandYouknowit]

Dems are about to get a lesson in pacing.

Anyone can lead a four lap race by a wide margin if they misuse their finishing kick and spend it in the third lap instead of saving it for the fourth.

All the sweeter when Obama fades in the home stretch like he did in the primaries. Too bad his current lead doesn't include amassed delegates that will accrue towards a total count like they did with Hillary.

[ThunderclapNewman]

The lesson is for McMaverick.

Obama is schooling him in how to properly pace and win an election.

You're backing a loser.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

They only relate to losers.

[DaOne]

You change you name to RightandIs­eriouslyNe­edHelp!

[COPerez]

So... all the pollsters, pundits and anchors are wrong about Obama's lead "gelling?"

Please.

As Obama maintains the steady, presidential tone and pace, McCain has become increasingly "erratic" and irrational. This has all the hallmarks of a blow-out.

[returnofthejedi]

It seems to me that desperation is setting in when Mcain/Palin can only depend on a bunch of lies rather than truth. On top of that actually making the statement:

If we continue to talk about the Economy, we will lose.



Obama/Biden 08!

[dentuso]

Did you check out intrade.com yet, tr0ll?

Again... just in case you don't follow politics (which is becoming clear very quickly), Intrade.com has an accuracy rate, including down to the state, of 100%.

Go educate yourself.

And then come back and tell us about the economy, okay?

Great New Ad by Obama

“If we keep talking about the Economy - We’re going to Lose”
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/thesubject_ad/

This is Great!

[dentuso]

Terrific commercial.

[DaOne]

It's time for a President who will change the economy, not the subject.

I LOVE IT!

[HypnoToad]

Great ad. I love the voice of the narrator. It really reminded me of this great song...

Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5NAPZp2w-o&search=Wear%20Sunscreen

[Heavy]

Most poignant ad to date. Love it.

[uclafan]

Mississippi and Indiana are now in play. McCain's lead cut in half!

[dentuso]

Believe it or not, GA and TX are now in play as well. Intrade already has it as a 353-185 win for Obama. We could get up to 400 if we keep pushing.

Do NOT stop! Turn an election win into a very clear message.

Keep canvassing, volunteering and contributing.

Close this contest, and CLOSE THIS ERA!

[08Voter]

Bwahahahaha!

The only connection ACORN has to vote fraud is the specious accusations by far-right extremists like you.

No trials, no convictions, no nothing---except your paranoia.

Ha ha ha ha, right . . . .

Could you close your eyes any tighter to reality?

Nearly every search of ACORN comes up with fraud!

ACORN Indicted for Voter Fraud "Activist group lacks credibility with voters"
http://www.missouricri.org/



Do we really need any more proof of what this organization is all about?

[RightandYouknowit]

Jonathan Goldberg suggested that McCain needs to tell voters watching the debate to Google "Obama and Acorn" and decide for themselves.

[dentuso]

Unfortunately for you, most voters will be Googling "Where the fvck did all the money from my 401(k) go?" instead.

[scandals&skeletons]

I love the smell of desperation in the mornin!!

[ThunderclapNewman]

All those links are to very suspect far-right extremist groups.

Thanks for proving my point.

ACORN has NEVER been convicted of any crime related to voter fraud.

[DaOne]

One of the reasons the deficit is getting so large at the state/federal levels is that many people aren't paying their taxes.

You know, like the Governor of Alaska who isn't paying taxes on those per diems.

How can you be a reformer when you don't even honor our basic societal norms?

Several tax experts said they believe Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is required to pay federal taxes on $25,000 in reimbursements from the state of Alaska for her children's travel expenses.

While several tax experts have raised serious questions about whether the payments to Gov. Palin are taxable income, they said the case was clearer cut for treating the reimbursements for the children's expenses as taxable income. "The kids are a slam dunk problem," said Robert Spierer, a partner with the accounting firm Perelson Weiner LLP in New York City. "The husband you could make an argument that he had to be there because it was required for spouses to be there."

88.5 %win percentage for Obama

[grf67]

Say goodbye to the republican party. McCain is finishing the job that bush started. Both have been a disgrace and an embarrassment to the country. This is probably not good for the country, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

[dentuso]

Truth is, with 62% of sub-40 voters being Dems, it probably IS the end of the Republican Party, honestly. I think they're now starting to grasp the fact that it might be 20 years before we see another "High and Righty" in the White House.
