I hope I am not the only one who thinks the good Senator has brain damage. Sit down and shut up, John.

McCain said he was adhering to the best GOP principles. "Everybody knows that Republicans are supposed to be fiscal conservatives."

So tell us, Senator McCain't, how much government spending have you cut lately?

This is the same Sen. McCain who claims that our military is not properly trained to protect our borders.

He hasn't been right about very many things.

I'm amazed anyone still listens to him.

Tax cuts would help right now and what the President has asked for he should get. No taxes would help even more.

I'll give him credit, he does try to cut spending and attacks added pork on bills, however, he is a delusional madman and an idiot, and as far as not cutting taxes due to war, somone should give him some lessons to be learned on JFK, the real father of supply side economics, we wouldn't have another president until Reagan who followed and preached those same beliefs. McCain is a fool with delusions of stardom.

Are you out of your mind? The supply side works fine, the problem under Reagan, was that they never cut spending. That did not cost George H.W. Bush his job, raising taxes did. In fact, during a recession, you never ever raise taxes.

To give you a proper analogy, If you have a store, and you sell whatever, and revenues are down, you don't raise prices, you cut prices and reduce overhead and non-essential spending, and give rebates, coupons and or specials. Its the same concept, any store that raises prices when revenues are down, does worse, stores that slashes prices, do better. Same concept with government, revenues are down, slash taxes, increase revenue, reduce spending on non-essentials, and things will work out.

Exactly, the military can guard the North Korean and Western European borders. We can guard the Mexican. It will just take the vaporization of one of our cities to do it. Then we will wake up!

McCain is the Nixon of this era. All for the expediancy of gaining attention.

True we have some war debt. What would you suggest? Reversal and then inaction?

No, I think you have to "dance with the one that brung you," and for conservatives, that means cutting the blood loss to the vastly inflated, blood-sucking, federal government an giving the citizenry a permenant share of freedom from a portion of government theft.

No, McCain is a self promoter....little more these days...such a shame.

I really hope that someone primaries him. He's 66, that skin cancer looks awful, doesn't he have some grand kids to spend more time with?

Hey Dan, after Bush's speach today do you think Michigan is in play for 2004?

Anyway the fed gov is not a business, if it was a business it would have sold off it's biggest money drain, the military.

Actually, a better analogy might a shopping mall which wants to attract *BUSINESSES*. Businesses like to be provided with some level of services, including *SECURITY* (think military), but if the rents go too high businesses will move elsewhere.

This country is losing businesses. It must win them back.
