MCCAIN: 'AMERICANS ARE ANGRY"
MSNBC ^

Posted on 10/11/2008 11:39:36 AM PDT by Chet 99

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy and Carrie Dann DAVENPORT, Iowa -- After several days of news coverage about rowdy and impassioned Obama opponents voicing their opinions at McCain rallies, John McCain steered away from character issues and emphasized to an Iowa crowd today that Americans are angry about the economy.

"I've traveled all over this great country and one thing I hear from Americans at every stop is that they're angry." Repeating "they are angry," twice, he added, "they're angry about the mess in Washington and Wall Street. They're angry about the failure of leadership at this hour of national crisis. They are angry that our leaders are more interested in pointing fingers at each other and advancing their own political interest than in coming together, Democrats and Republicans to solve the big problems we face."

McCain, who has in the past used questions about his temper to highlight his passion for reform, said that he understands Americans' frustration. "You're angry and I'm angry too and when Sarah Palin and I get to the White House we'll turn Washington upside down. And we'll change this culture of greed, corruption and incompetence," he said.

McCain has proven to be everything I thought he was, and wasn’t.

Ny freind said that McCain needs to come out and say some variation of “People are going to go to jail for this.”

Obama’s pals and ex-Execs at Fannie and Freddie would be the first place to start. Charge - securities fraud and other applicable charges.

Yosemite McSam couldn't see partisanship if you led him to it. Sarah has to do what he can't.

His campaign is more inept than Dole’s, and the results will reflect this on Nov. 4th

we are angry at you John, for reaching across the aisle and poking us in the eye instead of fighting for us.

Yes, he is not cowtowing to the MSM and negating the anger seen at his rallies.

He is validating it.

Gives him cover so the MSM can't be as effective in attacking him for a "dirty" campaign.

LISTEN, the only way to make the media pay for it's injustices is to hire private detectives to dig into the closets of the medias talking heads and owners. All legally, and turn the skeletons they find over to the legal authorities and if they don't do anything then shout it to the public! Detectives can only work in states where they are licensed so we would have to hire detectives from New York, and Illinois, and California, and D.C., where the networks have offices, and studios. So let's pool our money and send some to New York as a start to dig up dirt on the so called "journalists", like what they tried to do to Governor Sarah Palin. Sort of a "what is goods for the goose...." kind of thing.LET'S GO NOW, NO EXCUSES! NOW IS THE TIME! I heard somewhere ,that they are already investigating MSNBC talking heads! Good for them!

Why in the hell is THIS the standard reply to EVERYTHING McCain says?

I’d swear half the people here must walk out of a football game at halftime!

We’re also angry at the MSM that has become the Fifth Column in support of a Marxist/fascist candidacy.

We’re also angry that our candidate endorsed the character of a very disreputable opponent.

We’re angry at the hatred the leftist nuts have heaped on Palin.

we’re angry that YOU, John, voted for the bailout and missed a grand opportunity to be the maverick you say you are.

we’re angry that the slimebag running against you lies and you havent called him on it.

Your list is far from exhaustive, Senator Mccain.

Starting with arresting every politician in Washington that supported anything contrary to the powers enumerated to them by the Constitution and causing this mess in the first place - Republicans and Demonrats alike! We got in this mess by Congress meddling in the economy and now they want to fix it by meddling more. I am disgusted at all of them (with the exception of a few in the House of Representatives)!
