Just when you think McCain is getting a clue and starting to fight the enemy, he goes and frags his own party again.

How bad off are we after four years? Let's see, the war in Iraq is just about all won; no international terror attacks on the U.S. homeland since the fall of 2001; the economy is still growing; unemployment is still low; illegal immigrants are starting to leave of their own volition.

Yep, there a few major things that have gone wrong, but overall we're in pretty good shape.

Probably the worst thing that happened during President Bush's second term is that the nation is stuck with McCain and Obama as the dominant presidential nominees.

McCain Ad: 'Worse off Than We Were Four Years Ago' (McCain Throws GOP Under Bus - Again)

For those of us who have been watching him for the last twenty years, this comes as no surprise at all.

Every time I think I’ll send McCain a few bucks and get a bumper sticker, he comes out with this kind of crap.

I’m also tired of the CinC getting fragged.

George Bush is a brave decent leader. I think he could beat both McCain and Obama in a 3 way race. I KNOW he would beat Obama.

McCain must have the most stupid out-of-touch campaign staff ever. All that red meat to go after in the Obama camp, yet they spend precious time and campaign money gnawing on the President.

No thanks to Juan "Amnesty" McCain.

Yep, there a few major things that have gone wrong...

How did we get stuck with a boob like McCain as the GOP presidential nominee and supposed standard bearer of conservatism?

For a guy who has been in the House or the Senate since 1982, I find it interesting that McCain would herald how much Washington, D.C. is broken. Whether he knows it or not, the body of which he is a member, has an approval rating of 9%.

John, 91% of the public don’t approve of the job you and your fellow members of Congress have been doing.

Don’t try to tell us what is broken. We’re way ahead of you reverse ace.

I will not vote for McCain. If Obama wins my state (heavily blue, by the way) by one vote then blame me for it. Otherwise, blame McCain, for not EARNING the votes of conservatives.

Flame away, if you like. I'm disgusted.

McCain couldn’t stand being slightly ahead in two polls. He had to take affirmative steps to assure that he remained the “underdog.” sarc/

Perhaps the ad is referring to the dysfunctional Congress, and not to the Bush Administration. After all, just two years of SanFranNan’s and Dingy Harry’s “leadership” took Congress’ approval rating down to 9%.

I’m in Ohio, and I am a Corvette hobbyist.

In my neck of the woods, people are quite uneasy about the economy. The housing/mortgage crisis happened on GWB’s watch, in case you didn’t notice. The consumer economy here is very slow.

I contact lots of people from all over in the Corvette hobby, via online forums. Used Corvette sales are in the dumper. VERY slow. Energy costs are only part of it. I hear it over and over again, the economy is bad.

Imagine you’re running for president. Do you:

A: Tell people they don’t know what they’re talking about, the economy is fine. Elect me and I’ll keep things how they are!

B: Empathize, throw the current administration under the bus, (since they’re done anyway), and try to get elected?

The McCain spot, in which a narrator is referring to the Arizona senator as “the original maverick,” makes a special point of saying that McCain “has taken on Big Tobacco, drug companies, fought corruption in both parties.”

McCain needs to stop being coy and just come out of the closet and admit that he's a Democrat.

I’m much better off than I was 4 years ago. My income went up over 30%..have nice house to live in, etc.

Of course, I don’t credit or blame any President for my successes (or failures). They are mine alone.

He should have said we were worse off than we were 2 years ago.

We are worse off now than we were 4 years ago, because the Democrats took over Congress.

Democrats got THEIR "change" in Election 2006. Are WE better off now?

I’m not convinced McCain really wants to win. What other serious contender would over and over again spit in the face of his allies?

Bush has been far from perfect, but McCain would do better pointing a “worse off” finger at Democrats and libs in the Republican Party.

But then, he’s probably counting on THEM to get him elected. (won’t he be surprised)
