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?

He's not wrong..it's just the "screechers" making noise!

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.

There is no threat to any of our borders. Our military needs a complete revamping. What we're doing in Iraq with paying off Sunni militias is embarrassing. We could've paid them off without invading and supplied them with weapons and training to overthrow Saddam. Would've been much cheaper.

I will post a response when time allows...life is interrupting!
I know this is a setup,but I will answer you later.

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.

Antitrust, McCain sure as hell was not referring to the American workers when he asserted that the fundamentals of the U.S. economy were strong. That was his so-so attempt to explain away his gaffe. Don't you hate it when pols fall back on the ole' "U.S. workers are the hardest working and most ingenius" crap when they're scrambling for cover

You certainly couldnt win a battle of policies or substance.

Dont you find it interesting that McCain is suddenly touted as the regulation king. Do you believe this?

dalakhani this is what I find interesting...

No one and I mean no wants to take responsibility for this mess on either side and to me this is the true crime in all of this...

If we actually had some leadership anywhere we would see it and know it..blaming each other isn't leadership...

Believe it or not George W is at this moment in time showing more leadership than anybody - and he ain't doing sh^t!

Shame on all of us for putting up with this crap - I say we have a resolution that throws them all out and we start from scratch...

No one is twisting anything. You are just falling for spin. Here is another speech about "fundamentals" and you tell me if that is what he meant. And if he did indeed mean the "working people" then it would be the first usage of that phrase in that context EVER:

Stop walking the party line. Whether he meant it or not, it was a dumb thing to say.
