Last time I checked it’s not McCain proposing $860 billion in new spending.

Well, here's the thing. They bring in Sarah Palin to shore up the conservative base and the theory is that that frees up McCain to work on winning over the independents. We just had a fantastically unpopular bailout of ... how many billions are we up to? ... and McCain essentially said he's going to ADD to that. Is this going to win over the independents? I'm thinking it's not.
But yes, in theory, it's all about keeping Obama and his thugs out of power.

Carla Fiorina is on Fox right now supporting this Socialism and is proud of the idea that Gov’t should be doing this.

Is it just me or do we have to chose between two very bad candidates?No it's not just you. "Vote for me because I suck a little less than the other guy" is hardly inspiring.

I’m so incredibly angry about this that I can’t see straight.

I am sick to my stomach over it. Carly Fiorina is on Fox now saying we have to stop falling house prices! Government can now set the value of houses? What happened to the free market? It’s called a bubble for a reason!!!!!!!
Somebody pinch me.

NOBAMA can spend all night flatulating out of his mount and the RATS won't give a RATSASS, just as long as he wins.

She is.

No, he’s only proposed trillions in spending/economic cuts via global warming. No need to get worked up over that, of course. Because McCain’s socialism is good, right?

Memo to Michelle Malkin: try attacking the other side. I have become so tired of this woman. Yeah, she stands up for conservatism and following the law.
The guy you idolize stands for socialism and breaking the law.
I can see where you tire.
We may have to vote for this tired old hump named McCain just to keep the Marxist out, but if Mc gets in, it isn't exactly a victory.

don’t complain about Mccain or you will be labeled a troll

to think that on FR in 2008 one cannot criticize John McCain without being called a troll is so frigging hysterical
whatever happened to history here...gang of 12 and so forth..
all you newbies have no clue do ya?
ok ok...i get it...Obama is worse and yes I agree and yes I’m doing my part
but it’s like choosing tween a fat girl and one with bad teeth

To: jddqr
I understand how you feel, but these morons like Malkin need to stand back and take a careful look at the man they are helping to get into office, Barack Obama. McCain's desire to spend $300 billion pales in comparison to any of a number of Obama’s proposals, such as the $775 billion World Poverty Relief bill. Add to that all the lost freedom, which is nearly impossible to get back, that Obama wants to see legislated, and people like Michelle Malkin need to just shut the hell up and quit preening in front of their blogging mirrors.
No offense to anyone other than Michelle intended.

I think when you stabilize some homes values you stabilize the price of every house on that street.Since Mccain’s plan seems to be aimed only at valid mortgages ie not ninja loans then it can make sense. Some borrowers were conned into arm mortgages and now they can’t make the payments but if they abandon their house every house on that street takes a beating in value.

Check out the charts for the Asia-Pacific equity markets for this evening. The markets opened before the debate, but tanked DURING the debate.

Hard not to when our candidate just poked us in the eye like that.
To: The Bronze Titan
Exactly and this plan though not a good thing only apply to a fraction of home mortgages and has a cap on mortgages that it applies to. It would not help house flippers or others who bought lots of mortgages. It is like a student loan program for houses and most of the loans would be repaid with interest so it isn’t a give away. It still is not a good idea in the long run because of the precedence it establishes.

Can’t - the socialists have taken over this thread. I’ve said it before, FR needs a socialist enema.

amen!
its already in the damn bill (acorn) in the hope housing or some crap like that. obama is popular, media is covering his arse and without some liberal code words in atleast mccains speeches, we would lose and lose big. Americans are dumbed down, dont know why, but they are. let it ride, ignore what mccain says and focus on palin. they are doing red meat/chicken, good cop/bad cop. it will be OK.
To: jddqr
Chill. McCain is playing to the PUMAs. He's got the GOP base locked by choosing Palin as VP.
Now he's got to get the Hitlery Dems to cross over.

McCain answered that question correctly. It is a responsibility not a right.
