Analyzing the New McSame Doctrine
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 11:10 AM by nothingtoofear
John McCain spoke this morning trying to settle his campaign down. He said nothing new and insisted it was new. He said that "yes we will" as Hillary said in that embarrassing pre-loss move. I almost died laughing. They say that we have to have "hope" and that "yes" we will do this and that. "Yes, yes, yes." Sounds sort of like "yes we can." It sounds like McCain is trying to latch onto the wave of Obama's support and in doing so using tired old tactics of "fear, fear, fear" and now a new stupidity "mine baby mine". Yet again I have to laugh. Yet again he claims to be able to fix everything but cannot figure out where the money is coming from. Lower taxes, but give all sorts of money for education and healtcare, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this new Main St. bailout that he promised even as he abused Obama for suggesting the same thing (that extra 1 trillion dollars comment).

John McCain proves time and time again that he is nothing but doublespeak and that he will do and say anything to win the presidency as if he stresses the winning over the presiding and fixing this nation. He seems to have such a powerful desire to become president but carried on his campaign's back are a bunch of empty promises and straw man arguments. He's going to be for smaller government but expand the power of the federal government. He's going to be for Reaganomics when its deregulation is what caused this economic crisis in the first place. He claims to be against pork barrel spending and the bailout for Wall St., but voted for it which contained pork spending. He claims he will break the grip of the special interest lobby groups in Washington, but he has hired many of them for the top seats in his own campaign. When it comes to John McCain, it still remains true, he's just more of the same.

1. We've already had one president who tried to prove to himself that
he was better than his father. Neither could walk in their father's shadow.

"Yes yes yes" is a line from Ulysses by wife who cheated on husband.
It's perfect coming from McCain because he cheated on America when he "slept" with those dirty bankers (Charles Keating and all the others since then).

As Ulysses comes to an end, the wife realizes that she loves her husband. So what about McCain? Does he realize that it's the American people he should support? Look at his tax policy: he still supports the rich. He's still screwing around on the American people.

2. Did he use the same 700 billion $$$ TWICE?
He wouldn't pay 700 billion to bail out bank and insurance fat cats and he wouldn't send 700 billion overseas to 'people who don't like us very much'.
So are we talking 1400 billion, or just using the same 700 billion twice?
:wtf:

3. I'd suggest asking his speech writers...
As I'm sure he doesn't have the slightest clue what he was talking about.
