We had a bull that, even in his chains, excreted more useful data.
McCain..STFU and GO HOME......you are so “I-Me_Mine” that just your image disgusts me....Now get otta he-ar boy!
I just...don’t...know...what to say about this man. What drug is he on?
Argh! Someone please tell me we take McCain out in 2010 Primary!
What part of “shut up and go away” does McChurian not understand?
Juan McCain is an evil idiot. He needs to be defeated in the primaries.
It’s like the political equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.
RINO man
That’s totally opposite to the way that I read Saturday WSJ article!
MaCain said that the porkulas bill was a waste of time and money; that congress continues to lard up all bills, that the horrifying deficits could sink this ship; that the cap and tax bill was passed in the middle of the night without anyone knowing what’s in it.
I hope that McCain lets the Seattle paper better understand the terrifying road that these Socialists are taking this country!
Guess that Greenspan book didn’t help, nor borrowing Romney’s economic plan for his own, at this rate, it may be too late to teach a new trick, the simple economics of tax cuts for the rich
Y
Y
Why?
RINO feces
Agree. Shut McCain up and no more press conferences. This ‘K*ss *ss’ state of affairs and making nicey niecy has got to stop.
It seems like no politicians (at least those being heard and printed in the paper) talk truth any more.
STFU, John.
The goal of community organizing is to arouse the underclass to action, make them aware of as many government benefits as possible, until the system is over loaded and collapses.
I credit Obama for this fiasco as well.
This jackass is just as responsible as OBAMA for the state of affairs of this country. If he really tried to win the election HE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS DAMN BIRTHCERTIFICATE.
PEOPLE you really cannot be stupid to think he really TRIED.
Well, John, I think the best that can be said about ZerO and the economy is that the further his policies flounder the better the economy.
If you were a liar.
And I'll be glad to give him credit for that
If you were an idiot. McCain appears to be both.
Ah, McCain the old fool ranting on again. Would someone please tell me why I should vote Repub again when the GOP fronts idiots such as these?
We have not even SEEN a recession yet...just wait till the effects of Stimulus and Health Care Sham comes home to roost. THEN you’ll see a recession. Oh wait..I meant DEPRESSION.
There can't be another Franken debacle.
Mad RINO ping!
My FReinds...
Obama owns deserves the credit for this turd
American citizens need to wake up to the counterfeit ideas and false "hopes" offered by politicians who use "promises," just as the rest of us use "currency."
They buy votes with "promises" in order to gain power to themselves and their ilk. Then, when "hopes" are dashed, "the people" they have promised to help (the naive, the poor, the ignorant--even the "educated" who are ignorant of liberty vs. tyranny) find themselves enslaved, working for those who have purchased their power in the most despicable manner--by offering "hope and change." Thus it has ever been.
The people who founded America were not so "dumbed down." Hear two of them:
"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle [usurpation of power] and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much . . . to forget it." - James Madison
" . . . nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the penshioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, lusury, foppery, selfishness, meanness and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams
Further, it was not just the founding leaders who were well-informed about their constitution and approaching threats to its protections. By the Year 1830, when the French jurist Tocqueville traveled America, he wrote admiringly of the citizenry, observing that even the backwoodsman was far more well-read and informed than those in other parts of the world, and that they understood their Constitution, and had with them a Bible and a newspaper. Sadly, beginning in the mid-20th Century, our "government" schools removed the ideas of liberty from the nation's textbooks, largely under the guise of a counterfeit idea of "separation of church and state," and the citizenry is uninformed as to the difference between tyranny and liberty.
Today, with all modern means of communication, Americans possess little understanding of threats to their liberty and, thus, risk losing it to charlatans whose only goal is power.
McCain is even dumber than I could have imagined.
Sure dumbass, I'm sure that millions unemployed agree.
It was personally this man’s stance on the OPEN BORDERS way back when Rudy the transvestite was in the lead for the Republican nomination.
He wanted his birth citizens to obtain citizenship instead of guarding the borders and here we were in a war over there so they wouldn’t be over here. Since he wasn’t worried about the open borders then I started my reseach and found that yea, maybe this guy KNEW more than he’s letting you believe.
For the mess we are in I fault the media, McCain, our corrupt legislators that had the power to do something and didn’t. Then I fault Obama, he did what he did because he COULD and those that we really put our trust in FAILED us.
Yes, McLame should go home and he should take his plus-size annoying daughter Meghan with him.
McCain gets MSM coverage for a hangnail...... I hope the people of Arizona send this loser home...in the primaries.
Actually he owned the economy to Zero, and after the spending spree is over and the depression hits, Obama will own this (more like it will PWN him)
Flashbacks...
Her 15 minutes of shame are over....yo time be up girl!
The title completely takes McCain's words out of context.
"And I'll be glad to give him credit for that. But the question that I think we should be asking are the long term consequences of this unprecedented debts and deficits — are they beneficial to the country? And I think the answer is no."
This is another example of what something McCain said is being taken out of context.
Then why did McCain suspend his campaign last autumn to go vote for the bailouts?
All this goes to show is that McCain is a naïve moron and a loose cannon for the GOP.
Gotta' love the patronizing baby talk of one who considers himself a fellow elitist don't ya'?
Not me!
McCain is just proving why he was a horrible choice to be president. 1) Giving credit to an unprecedented philosophical shift toward Socialism in the United States. 2) Giving credit for an economic lift that is non-existent and therefore a strange lie.
I agree. That said, McCain did give the headline writer the ammunition with his meaningless comment about the short term economy.
“McCain gives Obama credit on economy”
If McCain isn’t careful, he’s going to wear the black off of Obama’s a$$.
"Just keep printing more dollars BO, and have the Fed keep buying US treasury Bills," says McCain.
Such J Offs.
The USD is finished as the world trade currency for oil.
{Watch OPEC , the Russians and Chinese designate a substitute currency in the months to come, as all US located oil companies move their head offices off shore, thanks to BO Tox's tax on US Corp'ns.}
John just can’t break the butt sniffing habit!
McCain was never in it to win. He is a POS who was picked to lose. There is no way the spineless repub party would have challenged a half black man. McCain is a coward, and the real story of what happened in that POW camp, would make you cringe.
