McCain: U.S. Troops Home by 2013

is he serious, there are his hopes of becoming president

Note to McCain: The “war” was over when we discovered that there were no WMD’s and brought Saddam to justice. Stop enabling Bush’s lies and bring our soldiers home NOW. We’ve already lost over 4,000 men and women, not to mention the thousands that have been wounded and permanently disabled in the first 5 years of this “war.” We cannot afford, physically and financially, to stay in Iraq for another 5 years.

Wake up McCain! The Iraq war is a conventional strategy against a guerrilla threat.

Five years is better than 100, but it’s still a long time.

And just exactly how many lives of our dear servicemen and women do you want to lose for the sake of Halliburton and EXXON – which then of course equates to lord knows how much for Cheney/Bush, et al?
And why should be believe you anyhow? Please, dear old Grandpa McCoy. If you have any pride left and can still tell you left hand from your right – which is debatable at best – go climb in that big comfy recliner, get a tall cool one, and watch “Lost” or something.

Here’s some more realistic promises for McCain:
Oil will be #250 a barrel.
Gas will be $10 a gallon.
The world will be in full economic depression.
America will be at war on at least three fronts.

Grandpa Simpson time to take your medicine.

The liberal media is the problem. They take something like McCain’s “100 year war” reference completely out of context just to make themselves feel better about themselves. They attack even the slightest Republican or conservative remark and blow it out of proportion, yet when a governor uses state taxes to obtain a call girl the media fails to mention his affiliation as a Democrat. The same thing happened with McGreivy in New Jersey and the media only skims over the Deomocratic problems. They use no sense at all and liberal bias is strewn throughout the media

is this old ass out dated fool for real. well i guess can get ise to saying president OBAMA. he is saying thing that should have been done 5 years ago. all republicans do is LIE. i voted for you guys once but never ever again . stop the lying

Can’t you just see the big “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner flying high. We do NOT need another 4 years of bush policies. Obama 2008!!!

Nixon did this… promised to bring home soldiers from Vietnam in the 1968 campaign… and again in 1972. He had no intention of doing so in his first term… neither does McCain. Hey, John… ask Georgie if you can play with his “Mission Accomplished” sign.

I’m confused Mr.McCain…Didn’t you just say that you didn’t care if the war lasted 100 years? ugh. you change your mind just as much as hillary.

Mr. McCain: The only answer is tax cuts. Let’s just do away with all taxes, charge tuition at schools, convert all roads to toll roads, insist that citizens pay for services, require all citizens to “volunteer” for public service, no more bureaucrats just good honest public servants, no subsidized public transit, farmers fend for yourself, you and welfore cheats get off the public dole, convert all those weapons the generals and admirals love so much to plowshares. LET’S HAVE A REAL GENUINE REPUBLICAN FREE MARKET ECONOMY. (Oh! And who needs automobiles? Our country got along just fine with horses and buggies. It is healthy to walk or ride a bicycle and all the doctors can retire)

Another 5 years before he’ll bring em home. He really must NOT want to become the next President. Talk about taking the slow road. I guess it’s an improvement over his 100 year war but he needs to do better. The Military is broken and our government is so out of touch. John McCain is off his rocker!

In the words of Pogo: “We have met the enemey, and he is us.” Excuse me, but Iraq was a disfunctional country when the British cobbled it together after WWI, and it has been disfunctional ever since. What makes any sane person think we can make a functional country (let alone a functional, stable democracy) out of Iraq by 2013 (or 2031, for that matter).

What have been the TANGIBLE BENEFITS to Americans of the Bush war in Iraq?
What have been the COST to Americans of the Bush war in Iraq?
Have the BENEFITS of the Iraq Bush war to Americans outweigh the COSTS?
When wise and practical minds recognize that COSTS outweigh BENEFITS, they would seek to CUT THEIR LOSSES; and bring the Americans home.
Afghanistan-Pakistan is where we need to be, to drive out every last foreign maniac muslim from the region, and disarm every last Taleban! That is the mission in Afghanistan-Pakistan.,

Lets take a quick look at Obama’s first term…
He pulls the troops out of Iraq to appease the liberal peace-seekers. Iraq is not stable at a national level. Our absence lets rival factions fight in the streets for control. Countries like Iran and Syria get involved and before you know it the entire region is in conflict. Iran attacks Israel which retaliates with massive force and before we know it the supply of oil from the Middle East is cut off and we have a gas shortage like the country has never seen.
Back home Obama has raised taxes to an astronomical level to pay for a bunch of programs that don’t work and now people can’t buy gas but still have bills to pay but can’t get to work. And the money they do make isn’t enough to pay the bills but ol’ Obama wants their tax dollars. The country is still divided between parties and race because Obama could not bring people together because we discover after all his speeches he really has no idea what he is doing and is completely lost.
America is now under a greater risk b/c the fighting that was in the middle east has now spread abroad and our service men and women are called into battle again b/c Obama did not allow them to do their job the first time. All the men and women who gave their life in the first Iraq war were lost for nothing and now more must die to defend the US and her allies.
And while all of this is happening Obama is having tea with the president of Iran who is filling Obama with visions of peace while planning our destruction the whole time.
I am not saying it was right to go to Iraq and that mistakes have not been made there. But tucking our tails and running will only bring more conflict. The GOP and McCain are not using scare tactics…they are trying to paint an accurate picture of what will happen. Obama and the democrats have everyone fooled. Pulling the troops out of Iraq will not solve all of our problems majically. Wake up and look at the world as it is. Not some utopia Obama promises. His lack of experience and actual plans will destroy this country.

Its an interesting tactic this. If he did want to run for re-election it could come back to haunt him. And it could in the end be seen as presumptuous and arrogant.

Yeah, here’s another one, ” The Birds are on the Way” People are tired, and sick of this damn war with Islam, Besides Your lady is no first lady, To my knowledge Laura Bush is the first one and your lady would be second to have crimnal records, since when is
having a rap sheet go with being a Lady? Great choice Gop you must really want to lose to the Democrats

These are well founded predictions. You do know we’ve had Osama Bin Ladin hidden at Guantanamo for over a year now – waiting to parade him out that we just captured him sometime in late October – just before the elections. We also have a deal with the Iraqi Clerics to leave before 2013 if they stop all violence and pretend to surrender all arms and say thanks to America – also scripted for late October. And this is known by both parties – as really they are all best buds and the whole election process is just a skit put on to make us think we have a say in the government. Letting the Republicans win again will keep us focussed on hating a few Republican politicians. Meanwhile, the real power is safely in the hands of a few Wall Street bankers where it belongs.

McCain never said the war would last for 100 years. He said he could see us having soldiers in Iraq for 100 years as long as none of them are hurt or killed being there (like we have bases in Germany and other strategic locations). Anyway the exact recording between McCain and voter is on web and you can see for yourself if you care to. The 100 year thing has been taken out of context by the Dems. Typical politics.

Paul M. said “Shouldnt the welfare of the citizens on US soil come first?”
Paul, look who is on mccain staff and supports him Jerry Perenchio.G Soros,Jaun Hernadez, Can you say OPEN BORDERS

Out by 2013? 2013??? I thought the sentiment of Americans was that we want the troops out NOW! Not 2009, 2010 or whenever. More McCain rehash of the failed Bush plan.

Oh by the end of his term the troops will be coming home in 2013. So he’ll promise to bring them home, look like a good guy and they’ll come home during someone else adminstration (most likely). So when things go haywire and Iraq is falling apart it’s blamed on the next president…?

There aren’t nearly enough flags behind McCain. As a freightened American I insist that every candidate wear a lapel/blouse pin and at least 100 hundred flags behind them.

INSANE MCCAIN has lost his bearings and marbles. We must not allow INSANE MCCAIN near the Presidency.

As for the idea of a League of Democracies in the Middle East, remember what Chris Matthews said on Jay Leno earlier this year: Why would we want to export the kind of democracy we have, where an election can be bought?
Think about it.

See this is what happens when you let a senile old coot speak his mind, and this guy is the best the repukes have to offer? come november I’ll be voting for Obama, grandpa Simpson can go back to bed.

How can he possibly be serious? We’re in a war started under false pretenses, in a country that doesn’t want us, causing huges losses of civilian lives, losing unconsionable numbers of American killed and injured in action, we’re bankrupting our country and saddling generations to come with debt payments to China. We should do as the English did – declare victory and get out!

The country will not let INSANE MCCAIN anywhere near the White House. He has flip flopped on Iraq ALREADY, five months before the election. First he wanted to stay there 100 years, now it’s out in 2013. INSANE MCCAIN has not only lost his marbles, he’s also not a very good liar.

I may have some reservations about Obama but they pale into comparison to how I feel about this old coot.

Maybe he should define what he means be “win”? Why not just declare victory now and bring them home NOW!

Why do George Bush and INSANE MCCAIN push policies that harm Israel? Aggression towards Iran will cause the region to erupt in so much violence that Israel would be lucky if they survived out the decade. Why do Bush and INSANE MCCAIN hate Israel so much that they would rather see the region, including Israel, in flames?

To all those who don’t want to see McCain in the Whitehouse. You should have thought about that before you nominated an inexperienced bigot to run for the job.

2013? That’s after the next president’s term. So – John – it sounds like you get to continue Bush’s war if you win the election and leave it to the next president that comes into office to clean up your mess. No way. The American people are fed up with it and the cost. GET THE TROOPS OUT NOW GEORGE!

This sounds an awful lot like a Republican from the 30s, “A chicken in every pot.”

He didn’t say what he will have done about the deficit in his pipe dream.

So all you who said you vote for this guy if Hillary is not the nominee, what do you think now?

Frank — Concerned may be a lying lib, but he’s right about McCain having a serious form of skin cancer. I looked it up. I think that is definitely something to consider. Do we want a President in office that’s in dire health?

I think the fact that McCain has a serious form of skin cancer is a game changer. Do we want a President in the White House who’s in dire health? I don’t think most people do.

We read the post the first time there Billy – who in the heck said he’s in dire health?

Hi MJ. Yes, I do think McCain’s skin cancer is a serious issue to consider. I agree with you. Can the country afford to have a President who is in dire health? I think the answer is no. I think McCain’s skin cancer is going to be a game changer, unfortunately

This is a question for Paul M. and everyone who thinks like him. Are you not suffering enough now? You must be rich or well off to make comments like that. Do the math !! It’s surprising how many die hard Republicans can’t count. Even if we wanted to stay in Iraq for another 4 years, we simply can’t afford it. Please wake up and get smart.

FrankyT I am certainly smart enough to know that electing a democrat of any type would be madness. I am not endorsing McCain or his 100 years war policies. I am certain come election time most intelligent actual VOTERS are going to elect Ron Paul. Forget all this primary crap. Its a media circus. 65% of the country thinks the war was a mistake. Ron Paul is a Republican by the way McCain is not the only one.

McBush/Clinton;Two of a kind.

aaron…
Thats not nice. I personally don’t have a problem with his age. My problem is the fact that I feel that he’ll stick with the status quo. And the status quo is not good for America. If there are people out there that think it is, then by all means vote for him. I believe that majority of America doesn’t like the America that we see today but, will vote for him out of spite.

I don’t think people have that unreal vision. And for you to think that people actually think that makes you look republican. What people think however, is that Dems will actually work to bring the troops home rather than use them as tools like this administration has done. This administration has used the troops for its own personal gains, not to make our country safer.

The reason McSame didn’t say 2012 is because he wants to run for a second term before breaking this campaign promise.

They’re scared and they should be!
President Cheney has made his friends rich at our expense.
Exxon and Halbuton have shown record profits year after year during this adminstration. Meanwhile, our jobs are shipped overseas to slave labor counties and our sons and daughters are dying for a useless war started under false pretences.
I don’t care what they promise, no way are we going to let these people run our country any longer!

Now that Hillary is out, McCain for President!!

McWar said the troops will be home by
2013??? McWar will die of old age by then.
How could this idiot promise this?? I’m
voting for RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT. He is
the only candidate who wants to END the
Iraq war and the phony “war on terror.”
MC CAIN is a MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McCain must be sprinkling some “magic” sugar on his bowl of Wheaties if he believes in that fairy tale world. “Build model airplanes”, says the fairy. But what if the fairy is a crazy glue sniffer? Pretty soon money is missing from your dresser and your daughter’s knocked up. I’ve seen it a thousand times before..

I am wondering when is everybody going to realize that the politicans do not run this country.

mccain is not in touch with reality, instead of guessing about the future, he needs to addressing concerns like high gas prices, the escalating debt, and the weak dollar.

WE COULD STAY FOR A HUNDRED YEARS! and then withdraw and Iraq will have a complete civil war.
It was a MISTAKE to INVADE and now it is a MISTAKE TO STAY. Let Bush and cheney and Rice and there friends and families strap on guns and go finish the job when they finally leave office!

I really think this man has been smokin’ something.Same ole no thank you——-

If you look at the majority of posts..the belief is this guy is nuts..and if there’s truth in this peception of McNuts..do you think with time as he get’s even older he’s going to become smarter? God help us if he gets elected!

Get the hook..somebody get him off the stage now!

McCain is just continuing the Big Lie propaganda tactics employed by Hitler’s Nazi propaganda minister-Joseph Goebbels. Tell the Big Lie and keep repeating it over and over and people will believe you. Just Google–’the 14 points of Fascism’, ‘right wing manipulation of religion’, and read “The 12 Year Reich” by Richard Grunberger’ and compare to the R party and what they have said and done. We must say no to the political and religious demagogues that have led the USA to ruin.

Look, if people want change, then the only option is to vote in a democrat. Anyone who knows anything about how our system works will agree that a republican president will have a difficult time doing anything because the house and the senate is controlled by the democrats. They should really offer a course to voters and make it mandatory before voting because ignorant people make important decisions that affects us all.
I hope we voters are suffering financially enough this time, so that we don’t make the same mistake we made in 2004 with voting for a C student like Bush. No matter what, I will be ok because I have a nice degree and a nice job, what about you?

One 150 billion dollars a YEAR, and no repayment for IRAQ selling us $150 a bbl oil! Bush 3 is also as good as “W” !

Senator McCain, get a pencil – 52 wks X 5 years = 260 wks X $50,000,000 is a lot of money! Of course you would have to figure in inflation, gas prices and of course you will need more troops, Maybe another “surge”.. I may have misplaced a zero but it looks like 13 trillion dollars to me, you think China is good for it? This administration is like a bunch of crack heads knocking over old ladies for their social security checks because that is exactly what you are spending! You are all CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“There have been no terrorist attacks since 2001.” I disagree. Secret drugs have been put in the water supply of most of the Republican politicians and Fox newscasters and viewers leaving them dishonest, corrupt, ignorant, and brutal.

Let me try again. I’m trying to work and post at the same time.
Should have read, “Does not, however, begin to come close to losing our precious service men and women in a useless, needless war.”
And you still can’t put lipstick on a pig or elephant.

Goodbye Republicans – you haven’t got a snowballs chance in hell if you think we are going to sign up for another 5 years of war in Iraq and 4 more years of lies, recession, inflation and BS! How can you face the American people with this crap? You are totally delusional!

Victory in 2013: This is just the same “Stay the Course” crap that Bush peddled, but now super-sized. Why can’t McCain offer something quicker? The US defeated Germany and Japan at the same time in less than 4 years. Why doesn’t he call a draft and see what the American people think about that?

Steven James “most of the people of this country are uneducated” and “American’s don’t know whats best for them” and how many billions of our hard earned tax dollars are you in it for? American’s aren’t stupid, however we are represented by stupid people from time to time. This will be fixed shortly, so if you are a pig at the Bush trough you might start looking elsewhere for a handout!

Barak is incapable of fixing this. Only Hillary could’ve fixed it seeing as how she is on a first name basis with every leader in every country. And they all like her. Barak will make it worse but that’s what black America wants so let’s go for it!

Another reason why we need stem cell research!Grampy is suffering from dementia.The FDA should research deeply on the side effects of the bladder control meds he takes as it is causing him to hallucinate.

Why is it that we always look out only for ourselves? You know, everyone is said and depressed because of the war but yet we complain about gas prices. Do you honestly think they are going to go down if we leave Iraq? Gas will coninue to rise either way. Also, I guarantee a lot of you wouldnt be complaining if the war saved us a $1.50 on a gallon of gas. You would bing up all these things like importance of freedom and blah blah blah. The bottom line is that even though we are losing men and women, we are protecting thousands more. Are you telling me an American’s life is more important than an Iraq’s life? Life is a life. We should value all of them. I love and apprecaite our men and women in service and am graeful for there service, but dont pretend that it is life you are just worried about, you are only woried about YOUR loved one, not anyone elses.

Senator McCain, ‘the Maverick’, saw the polls and witnessed the three in a row loss of House seats in deep Republican territory, decided to bring the troops home in five years – better than 100.
Nice try! and thanks for the new game you started for us – to see if there is any worthy issue left where the ‘maverick’ has not yet flip-flopped on! All invited to play.

“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery.” –Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774. (*) ME 1:193, Papers 1:125

McCain is a freakin idiot… Greg

Just what we need … another warmongering empire builder:
“Other accomplishments he hopes to achieve include the formation of a League of Democracies to bring to bear pressure on governments that do not share democratic values.”

Notice its not until the END of his term. He wants a piece of the military industrial lobby too.

At least he has a plan. Obama has YET to give anything specific. what the heck does “we’ll bring the troops home as soon as strategically feasible” or “we’ll be as cautious in our withdrawal as we were careless in our entry”???
Emptiness. Obama has no plans people, wake up!

AAA…I would just like to point out that everytime a Democrat gets in trouble, creats scandal etc, it is usually involving sex, or sexual relations outside the family. Not sending our armed forces into an illegal war, or lying about the cause of that war to not only the American people, but the entire world. I would also like to point out that those democrats have seen their futures destroyed (rightfully so). So stop blaming the media. My point is, why is when a Democrat does something wrong, they should be talking to their families, while when a Republican does something wrong, people die?

The “Global War on Terror” is not a convential war. It is a guerrilla conflict akin to the VC in Vietnam and it is far from over. He didn’t learn a #### thing.

if he wants this war so bad let him pay for it and his family fight in it!! let all the rest of our men and women come home NOW.

What a joker. Predicting victory five years in advance, longer than WWII. How did he come up with 2013, out of thin air? Is 2013 when we’re gong to “turn a corner”? Nothing about how he’s going to achieve this. All platitude and “hope”. Nothing more than B.S.

Yes, and here are some more predictions at the end of McCain’s first term: gas will be $50 per gallon, a loaf of bread will be $15, we will be working for Chinese corporations, Mexico will take back the Southwest and you will be wishing you voted for Ron Paul back in ’08.

Come on guys read in between the lines.. What Mcsane is saying is that all the American serviceman in Iraq will either be maimed or dead by 2013.

I’m smarter than Obama, and most democrats apparently, in the economic sense. You guys blame the economic problems on Republicans and the defecit on Republicans. Congress has been under Democratic control for a few years and they’ve done nothing but spend more money.
There is no transparency whatsoever with Obama. Other than the policies on his website (which aren’t bad, I like them, save for the socialist/fascist policies in regards to redistributing the wealth of America, socialized programs), we know NOTHING about him. We hear about all these negative, anti-white/anti-American people that are aquaintances, criminals as aquaintences, and we don’t know how close they are, and how they’ve influenced him. We don’t know how he is to pay for all this (taxing the wealthy and corporations will only drive companies and tax dollars and jobs away), realistically, and as a leader, I don’t see it: his forays into foreign policy are naive and idealistic, and I can understand why a group like Hamas would be jumping for joy with the prospect of electing a green politician who thinks he can unite the world.
He is no JFK. JFK is no JFK – if he hadn’t been assassinated, he wouldn’t be considered a great president. Although, to tell you the truth, if Obama is elected, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if that didn’t happen again (I don’t want this to happen…the election or the assassination).
I hope he picks a good running mate.
Oh, one last question: who’s behind the curtain for Obama?

Tell me McSlug, HOW has America “secured her freedom” by killings hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq and thousands of our own (oh yeah, we never EVER mention to the wounded inn Iraq or here)…. so please… tell us… WHAT is it that we were fighting for? Tell us HOW invading a country and destroying it has “secured our freedom”…. we’ll wait.

Who’s crystal ball is McCain using, Rove’s or that Alfred E Neuman character with the crack pipe?

McCain will change his position on any issue at the drop of a hat if McCain thought that new position will get him elected. McCain Flip-Flops on every issue. Do not trust McCain. The man will lie just to get elected.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM METHUSALLAH?

Give Mccain credit….he knocked 95 years off his planned troop withdrawl. Maybe, as he continues to develop his strategy closer and November gets closer he will knock another 4-5 years off…It would be smart political move…

I love how the debt is blamed solely on Bush and the Iraq war…if you guys looked into what laws have been passed, you would have been dumbfounded that so much money was wasted. I prefer spending money on a war than giving subsidies to rich farmers and people who raise race horses. What? You don’t know about the $300 billion farm bill that does about $100 billion worth of good and $200 billion worth of crap? How it give subsidies to horse ranchers and farmers who make $1.5 million and up? This is a DEMOCRAT back bill, people, and Bush wants to veto it…
If you go through and look at all the bills that the democrats have passed, and you look at the social security borrowing and spending, and the new social programs that are out there, you’ll see that the democrats and republicans have effectively emptied our coiffers in the last couple of years on bogus items filled with pork barrell spending.
Social security needs to be done away with, private colleges should not receive government funds (Harvard and Yale get government grants for research,and then extra money to offset the cost of that research…oh, and Harvard owns a lumber company in Wyoming or some place like that, look it up), and the government needs to PULL OUT OF OUR LIVES MORE. By shrinking the government, allowing oil companies to bid and drill in the arctic circle (which won’t happen, as apparently polar bears are now endangered because of “global warming”), and pushing for a full on technology based (no more manufacturing) economy, we will be fine.
That was a bit of a ramble….
Basically, you liberal morons, let us drill for oil in the arctic circle, the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, off the coast of California. That’ll drop fuel costs. Have the government take less care of the people – make people responsible for themselves. You’d be surprised, they may even be better off than before when they were on welfare! People who lose their jobs cause the factory moves away? Here’s an idea…find a job in another city and move there. Can’t find the same job? Get a different one. There are plenty of jobs that anyone can do. Will they be union jobs? Probably not, but they’ll at least keep you from collecting unemployment and burdening the country. I can go on and on…but basically, McCain’s vision isn’t a bad one. The Iraq thing is flip flopping, but at least he’s giving us a clear vision of what he wants to accomplish. Obama’s list would take 10-20 years to accomplish and would cost more than the Iraq war has.
Small government = good, free enterprise economy = high standard of living for more people= high education level = happy people.

Oh, Mr. Flip-Flopper has spoken again!
Come on, how are we supposed to believe ANYTHING you promise us at this point?

PhilBgood spouted off and said:
“And Shane H says, “if you go thru and look at the bills the Democrats have passed…”. Gee Shane, you Repukes had control of the White House, the House and the Senate for the first 6 years of Morons presidency and in those six years he didn’t veto one spending bill. And in those six years your so called President took us from a budget surplus to the largest deficit in the history of the U S. And you want to talk about the Democrats spending? You are a HYPOCRITE!”
Way to accurately quote me. I bet I really used “thru” instead of “through”…wait, no, I know how to write, so I didn’t.
I’m not a hypocrite…I didn’t say I wasn’t going to spend money and did it, the democrats and republicans did, and the democrats are known for it. It’s what your party does. I also mentioned the Republicans, you putz.
I’m registered as an independent and I’m a conservative. I didn’t vote for Bush in either of the elections – I didn’t vote for Kerry or Gore either, as they’re worthless. I voted for the independent candidates both times.
The major deficit growth was in the past couple of years. I believe the democrats took control of the House or Senate in 2004 (correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t feel like looking it up…it may have been both). If the dems have control, guess what, they control voting, right? The dems went along with Republican spending because they were able to infuse more pork into those Republican bills.
What good things did Clinton do when he was president? He decimated the military and economy by closing bases and navy shipyards, etc, NAFTA’s a big hit, oh yeah, that’s great, he ignored the threat of bin Laden, and his so called balanced budget was because of high taxes on everyone, especially the wealthy. Unemployment was higher than it was now. It takes, I think it is, about 6 years for any economic policies set by a president to see any effect, and 8-10 before the economy actually feels them on a big level. I believe that would put Clinton’s economic policies…oh yeah, right about now…
Before you make asinine assumptions that I’m a “repuke” (nice, that’s really clever…what would YOU do to balance the budget? Oh, let me guess! Tax the rich corporations because they’re evil and pull out of Iraq? You know NOTHING of the economy, obviously.), read what I say and realize that it isn’t endorsing Republicans and what they’ve done in the least. I work in finance. I know the economy. I know how it works, which makes me conservative because conservative spending in a free market environoment is the best way to have a strong country.
Do you know what “fascism” is? Do you know what “communism” is? Do you know what “socialism” is? That’s where this country is headed if Obama gets into office. I’m not the only one saying it. I can hear it now, “You’re racist!!!! You want 100 more years of war (occupation, big difference…)!!!! You want…blah blah blah. You all say the exact same “educated” things. Obama supports are sooooo smart!!!!!!!
*exclamation points on last sentence signal sarcasm.
My hope is that McCain has a great VP candidate (Mitt Romney knows a few things about the economy) and that he croaks after three months in office…
What’s the next “clever” thing you’ll say to me? That I’m racist? Or I don’t know what I’m talking about? You said nothing substantial and gave no examples of how the Republicans squandered a surplus. Then again, I bet you forgot about all the money thrown at Katrina and that whole 9/11 thing that cost a couple hundred bucks to clean up…
Are you mad about gas prices? Write your democratic congressman and tell them to open up the gulf coast, Alaska, the Arctic circle, and California coast for drilling? Guess what? Russia and China don’t have to abide by our environmental laws, so if you want them to get an even bigger hold on us, financially, then sit on your hands and chant “change change change” with the rest of your cult.
