"The fundamentals of our economy are strong"

[dalakhani]

Yes, as Wall St. was losing 504 points McCain uttered these words. While our entire banking system is imploding, McCain uttered these words. Should we start calling him "nero"? And then his idiot running mate has the nerve to call out the opposition for unfairly attacking his "verbiage". yes, she said that.

Check out his economic team. It is a who's who in why we are in the mess we are in today. One guy was on AIG's board. The other is Thain of Merrill Lynch fame.

The funniest is Phil Gramm who said the nation is in a "mental recession" and called us a "nation of whiners". This is the same Phil Gramm that fought tooth and nail against the SEC in the 90's-against regulation.

And the crown jewel is Carly Fiorina. Fiorina, when asked, said that neither McCain nor Palin could run a US corporation.

Hmmmmm. When your chief economic advisor doesnt see you as being fit to run a company, how can you run the biggest company in the world?

How about Mr. Bidens dumbass comment today.

"Wealthy Americans MUST pay more taxes to show patriotism"

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09...ow-patriotism/

That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard!

"YOu have worked SO hard, had a great education, made yourself successful, so I'm (dem) going to steal more money from you and tell you that you are unpatriotic to want to not pay more taxes"

Fin idiot.

How 'bout "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"
That should suffice.

I like how you put in all caps the one word that he never said. Come on Lori, that isn't what he said, and considering he'll be one of those people paying more taxes he's hardly being hypocritical.

Who's that? Did Pallin pick a running mate?

[nebrady]

You should know your facts. ABC news last night said that Phil Graham was no longer part of Mccains economic team. Also running the us is not like a company. In a company the boss decides how to run the company. America doesn't work like that. We have checks and balances, that assure the president will not get out of control. Also you have to deal with partisan politics. That is the biggest problem in america, we need a party that actually represents the common folk. Not a congress made up of mostly lawyers who have no idea whats its like be the common person in america.

NO..John was busy..I just stumble on...did you read it or are you just a "kibitzer"?

McCains comments were directed at the American workers, whom McCain says are the backbone of the economy, and that the American workers are productive and resilient. McCain knows there are huge problems on Wall Street (which if anyone says is GW's fault I think I'd have to put you on Permanent IGGY cause cant let you people dumb me down).

Dala is twisting his words just as ArlJim twisted Obama's "my Muslim faith" words. and how people twisted Obama's Lipstick on Pig reference.

Now what Biden says.. comparing paying more taxes to being patriotic. I cant give an excuse on that its just plain dumb.

Or a signer to the DOI!

McCain and Biden's comments were both foolish. I just find Biden's comments the funniest of the two. I'm imagining Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hulk Hogan on the campaign trail getting the crowd fired up for higher taxes for the rich. Now that is funny and believable.

"There's tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and on Wall Street," McCain said. "People are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But these are very, very difficult times."

That is what John McCain said... if you go back to my previous post about what he meant by "fundamentals of our economy", how is he wrong?

Fundamentals equal the very basics of economics.

What he fails to mention is how the lack of regulation has helped cause these problems. And to find the douchebag who deregulated just about everything...




Like I have said numerous times before...

This country is f.ucked with either candidate.
