What an idiot. I wish we could dump him and let Palin have the top slot.

I’m not sure that matters. What might hurt him is his anit-spending stance. We like big spenders in Government, and we won’t elect somebody who says he won’t be one. The trick is to convince the voters that you’ll spend but won’t tax.

Typical of a shameless RINO. Criticize Bush when McCain is AT LEAST as liberal. Juan, like Bush, would have had 100 million Mexicans in the US enjoying free health care by now had the American public not raised such holy he**. The Messiah and contribution fraud? Thank McCain once again. Only RINOs and democrats are such shameless hypocrites. But as usual, John is playing it smart. Lets see...endorse Obama and attack Bush. Yep, that’s certain to impress those geniuses who just can’t make up their minds. The undecideds...go get ‘em. Screw those conservatives in the republican base. The MSM doesn’t like them so they must be evil.

McCain is old. That’s all that comes to mind when he constantly goes on these pointless asides and goes off message. It only paints him as erratic.

If he trashed Pelosi, Reid and company as much, he would get even more votes.

“It’s always fun to watch one Rino attack another Rino.”

Except when the ultimate beneficiary may be a race Marxist, and the resultant major step downward for the US Republic.

Maybe, but to be honest, he should recognize that eight years of systematized, daily, Bush bashing by the media and Democrat politicians have had an accumulative effect that no human could ever overcome. I believe this DNC program was designed to sweep in a total Democrat control of WDC in 08, which they appear to have succeeded in doing. Dean may be a political genius after all. And, we on the right have done very little to counter their successes.

Pure stupidity.....McCain will lose this election because Obama won the arguement that we don't want 4 more years of Bush/McCain failed policies. McCain NEVER responded until the last debate when he declared he was not Bush. Three things McCain should have pointed out.

1. Bush's tax cuts were not for the rich. They were across the board evenly distributed across all income brackets, eliminating income taxes completely for millions of lower income people.

2. Despite the Iraq War, 9-11, Katrina, the economy grew strongly under Bush. It was not until the credit crunch things started to get bad, which was the result of decades of bad policies by Dems and Reps, not Bush.

3. Obama is not proposing change, Obama is proposing the same policies which failed miserably under Carter. There is no difference between Carter's economic philosophy and Obama's.

blame republicans for nominating a lousy candidate. Or maybe blame democrats for voting for McCain in the primary to elevate him?

Regardless, it’s the republican party leaders that went astray and they are the one’s to blame if Obama gets elected.

But Tax cuts don’t reduce the deficit though. They actually increase it.

You are absolutely correct! I second your post and anyone that thinks otherwise about this President needs a reality check.

Have little respect left for this Administration especially after the bailout when he sided with Paulson/Obama/RATs against Boehner and McCain. He allowed Obama to take over the meeting which should be a sign to everyone which side he has been on especially since 2006.

Spend, spend, spend and no vetoes to speak of makes him a fiscal liberal IMHO. He grew Government and Government interference in local education, he started the prescription healthcare for all seniors, and NEVER pushed drill here, drill now!

...We just let things get completely out of hand,"...

Yep, like campaign finance reform, gang of 12, amnesty for illegals, voting against ANWR drilling, voting against Bush's tax cuts, voting for $900 billion for the bailout - Yep, thing got out of hand!

Absolutely! imho, the Republicans lost the 2006 Congress cause they catered to the Dems vs fighting back against them. The Dems don’t respect ‘fairness’ or compromise....they’ll walk on you.

McCain is a backbiting SOB. Perhaps the only favor he has ever done the GOP (and did so almost assuredly in ignorance of the consequence), was to bring the new Ronald Reagan in a skirt out of obscurity. Should he win he will certainly try to relegate her to obscurity. He would then soon learn from the “people” that he should have been on the bottom of the ticket, not the top.

Would it kill him to put a great emphasis on “the last TWO years” and try to hang this around the neck of Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid?
