Wow, regurgitated failed Bush economic policies, bookmarked by his heroism?
He doesn't work for a party? His voting record tells a radically different tale. His record would classify him as a Bush protege, not a maverick in any sense.
So you have an anti-union, anti-choice, 90% loyal Bush Republican claiming he's gonna change Washington?
The borrow and squander Republicans have had their shot. Eight years of failed policies and failed leadership. Two wars, a stumbling economy, struggling to mend the failed foreign policies of Bush/Cheney...
McCain is more of the same.
nancebot9000 has malfunctioned.
nancebot9000 keeps writing same thing.
can someone fix the nancebot9000?
You go, kid!

LOL, extreme obsession?
We don't want another fiscal disaster in the white house!!!
By the way, 8 to 10 million is what the Obama campaign has brought in since Sarah PolicyfreePalin spoke last night.
She threw a fluffy gauntlet. We threw it back.
"Other polls have failed to show the same tightening of the race found by CBS. Neither the Gallup or Rasmussen daily tracking polls have registered a significant drop in Obama’s support from his post-convention bounce numbers. The Gallup tracking poll, for example, still has Obama ahead of McCain 49 percent to 42 percent."
" In a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corp. survey out Wednesday afternoon, 55 percent of Iowa registered voters who were questioned said that Obama, D-Illinois, is their choice for president, with 40 percent backing McCain, R-Arizona. That's more than double the lead Obama had in a University of Iowa poll taken early last month."
"Obama is winning in all regions of the state, even in the western counties, where George W. Bush beat John Kerry by 17 points," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Obama is winning rural voters in Iowa, not something you see in many other states."
"It appears to be a similar story in Minnesota, where the Republicans are holding their national convention this week."
"The poll indicates that Obama has a 12-point lead over McCain, 53 percent to 41 percent."
"That's up slightly from a 10-point lead Obama held in a Humphrey Institute survey taken last month."
You've been told before, national polls aren't important. Look at the battleground states.
Obama is KILLING McCain, even with PolicyfreePalin on the ticket!!!
Peter, if drug use is the vice you think should keep a ticket from the Presidency, you might want to do a little more research into your beloved hockey mom.
"In 2003, the Alaska Court of Appeals legalized the possession of small amounts — four ounces or less — of marijuana in the home, making it the only state in America to allow it. In 2006, then-governor Frank Murkowski outlawed the ruling; the Superior Court, in turn, struck down some of his restrictions (now Alaskans can possess only one ounce). The battle over marijuana became a minor issue during the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial race (which Palin won), with Murkowski claiming he had never smoked pot and PALIN ADMITTING SHE HAD TRIED IT."
"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled," she said at the time."
Guess she fails your test, huh?
Wow, now that's an agenda for America, Future2012.
Finally, a little hope for the future.
"But when it comes to promises, it's worth pointing out that, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of both candidates' proposed plans, Obama would cut taxes for those making in the range of $38,000 to $66,000 three to almost eight times more than McCain would."
"Under Obama's plan, according to the center, by 2009, those making $37,595 would see an average increase in their income of 3.6%, or a tax cut of $892; those making an average of $66,354 would see an increase in their income of 2.4%, or a tax cut of $1,042."
"On the other hand, Under McCain's plan, those making $37,595 would see an increase in their income of only about 0.5%, or $113 tax cut; those making $66,354 would see only an increase of 0.7% in their income, or a tax break of $319."
So what's going to reinvigorate Nevada's economy? Using Obama's plan to put money into the hands of the middle class, who are currently suffering with higher food, energy and recreation burdens... allowing them to buy that couch, that laptop, or paying for another 200 gallons of gas.
Or to cut John McCain's taxes? And Sheldon Adelson's taxes? And Steve Wynn's taxes?
Simultaneously, Obama's national debt, when he leaves office, will be 24% LOWER than the projected national debt under John McCain and Sarah Palin's "borrow and squander" economic plan.
McCain's economic plan calls for a $5 TRILLION national debt when he goes up for re-election in 2012.
You think we should borrow money against our kids futures to fund McCain's failed economic policy?
You're right, Dawg. She felt she didn't have to say "middle class." She felt that mentioning the backbone of our economy, the plight of the everyday mom and dad wasn't worth even a mention.
She apparently cares more about oil than education. This, coming from someone who wants to campaign on her motherhood? She doesn't bother to mention education in her introduction as the Republican's pick for Veep? She spoke for more than 30 minutes.
So we know her priority is oil, that she doesn't really 'bother' with the middle class, and education and health care aren't even on her radar.
And it's laughable that you think she's middle class. Todd and Sarah Palin have owned 26 vehicles since 1994... 23 have been registered after 1999.
I'm sure can she can sympathize with the rest of us. Don't you have a fleet of 23 vehicles?
Oh, you tolerant, moral Republicans. You'd never say or do anything that could even slightly be tinged with racism.

Never mind!

Good to see McCain and Co. can still take a tragedy that killed 3000 innocent Americans and twist it into something for political gain:

To reference the memory of the dead is sacred and nonpartisan.
To show video of the attack and collapse of the towers is disgusting.
McCain knows no shame.
