Why McCain Won

economic policy

Obama: Give a man a fish. Feed him for the day
McCain: Teach a man to fish, give him a job, and feed him for a lifetime.

Enough said.

So wait a sec, if Sen. McCain wins, then I as a supporter of him am to feel guilty? Then I do not have common sense nor decency? Then I am a racist? Because that is what this article implies. Newsweek, just another example of the death of unbiased reporting.

Four Horse, great point - however, this inconvenient truth will not see the light of day in the mainstream liberal media.

And Newsweek, et. al. wonder why their subscriber numbers keep declining: with 'reporting' like this, it's a wonder they have any subscribers at all.

Obama economic policy: Give a man a fish. Feed him for a day.

McCain economic policy: Teach a man to fish, give him a job, feed him for a lifetime.

Obama's race is helping not hurting him. A poll in The Columbus ( Ohio ) Dispatch shows that 34 % of Whites are leaning toward Obama but 0 % of Blacks are leaning toward McCain. 0 % ? Now where is the racial benefit in that ?

Well, the Low Information Voters really always show up on this site. I am disgusted at how conservatives throw around the word "Socialist" like the words "***," or "***." It is intended to hurt. It is also intended to inspire hatred. How ugly.

The conservative politicians are much smarter that all of you LIVs. They get you to vote against your best interest every year. How has this fantastic, business rules everything plan been going so far? How have giant tax cuts for the wealth helped you? Do you really think the mass of well to do, creepy religious millionaires really care about you? Not only do they not care about you, they look at you as if you were prey. They get your money and they get your vote. They're not going to overturn Roe V Waid. Are you kidding? They get more votes out of that than they can count. Conservatives just keep being disengenous and you keep buying it. Genius.

Moving right along...If you make 100,000 and someone else makes 1,000,000, you BOTH PAY THE SAME SOCIAL SECRITY TAX! Even though the other person makes 10 times as much money. That is the kind of stuff you are really voting for when you think you are keeping God in pledge, or banning gay marriage or flag buring or some other foolish social wedge issue.

As far as the socialism goes, we just had the biggest government bail out EVER. Privatize the profits, but socialize the losses.

This conservative mess is going to end. Get used to it.

Reality has a liberal bias.

Most people think that Obama will win the election; even the folks up in Canada. God help us, God help America.!! If McCain wins it will not necessarily be because Obama is black. Perhaps the anti Obama crowed will have paid attention to how Obama got where he is today. He catered to the most corrupt political machine in the U.S: Daly Chicago. He knows that corruption is widespread in the sorry city, but has never spoken out against it, in fact he went along with it. Why? Because they were his ticket to where he is today; you guys in the media have given Obama a free ride. His empty rhetoric you have extolled as proof of policy. When he commits a gaff, you ignore it. Everything he says is "divinely inspired" He gives you tingles up your collective legs with every word he utters. You guys have sold your souls to a great con artist, you have not searched into his past. You have not investigated his past and present association with a terrorist, a convicted felon, a grossly bigoted, anti-American pastor, a corrupt ridden political machine. We hear nothing about these things from the mainstream media. Contrast that with the hatchet job you have done on Sara Palin: armies of reporters rushing to Alaska to find any dirt, real or imagined, to pull down the governor. Why haven't you dredged Obama's past with equal enthusiasm? You people disgust me. One day the people of your great country will wake up and belatedly discover its the lift wing liberal media and the brainless clowns in Hollywood and in TV land who are pulling your great country down. It is my fond hope that that day will arrive soon!
God help us if Obama wins.

GOP: We federalized credit. Nationalized the banks. Grew the National Debt and the size of government to their biggest size ever. Now emagine what that Socialist Obama will do!!

If McCain wins it will be that he sold out to the lobbyists and the RNC right wing propaganda machine. I you want to see an LIV, just look at blogs like this. Give them a mantra and waive a Palin at them.

The links below to legitimate news sources that show that Fannie and Freddie paid many millions of dollars while the Rs were in control of the executive and legislative branches, lobbying Rs only, to prevent regulation of the financial practices that caused the global financial crisis.

One of the biggest recipients of those millions is Rick Davis, McC's campaign manager, who has been recieving up to $35k/mo. since '00 right up to the present. Freddie continued to pay Davis while Davis managed McC's campaign.

And Freddie donated $250k to the R convention.

These facts are everywhere in the legitimate news. You can start at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1 There's much more legitimate news on this.

But "Nowforthetruth" wants us to believe that it was the Dems' fault, and that we must fear "that one".

I was a solid McC supporter and voter until I found out about who paid whom millions to be allowed to loot trillions from our economy, and until I realized how McC sold out to the the most extensive and virulent propaganda machine I have ever seen.
