McCain't: Exhibit A in why 'bipartisanship' with this GOP is a farce
By David Neiwert Sunday Feb 08, 2009 2:00pm
Remember how a couple of weeks ago everyone was writing about how the vanquished John McCain was going to be Barack Obama's best Republican buddy in the Senate and help pave the way for a new era of senatorial bipartisanship?
Well, et tu, McNasty: He's now leading the charge against Obama's stimulus plan in the Senate. He went on CBS today and explained why:
Schieffer: You have emerged as the main opponent of the President's economic recovery plan. ... But I want to ask you, now that you have made your point, do you intend to support this plan, because I think economists on all sides of this say something has got to be done here.
McCain: Well, I can't, Bob. And I can't because I think it's the greatest transfer of not only spending but authority and responsibility to government. I think it's massive, it's much larger than any measure that was taken during the Great Depression. I think it has policy changes in it which are fundamentally bad for America. For instance, there are 'Buy America' provisions -- that's protectionism. It didn't work at any time in our history.
But most of all, because I think this can only be described as generational theft. What we are doing is amassing multi-trillions of dollars -- if you look at what's going to be announced Monday or Tuesday, a new TARP -- we've already spent $700 billion, another how many have you trillion --
Shieffer: This is aid to the banks --
McCain: Yes. Then we're going to have a supplemental to pay for the war. We're going to have what we call a continuing resolution -- another $400 billion. We're going to have already a $1.2 trillion deficit by estimates and it's just begun. We're going to amass the largest debt in the history of this country by any measurement and we're going to ask our kids and grandkids to pay for it.
So I thought we needed -- I know we're in trouble, I know America needs a stimulus, we need tax cuts, we need to spend money on infrastructure and on other programs that will put people immediately to work. But this is not it.
In other words, Republicans' idea of a "bipartisan bill" is a "Republican bill". That is to say, just more of the same old crap that got us in this mess in the first place.
Yeah, that's some bipartisanship.
But McCain also makes it clear he thinks that Democrats have to completely bend over -- or, as Rush would put it, "grab the ankles" -- to make bipartisanship work. On Planet GOP -- where the rampant fear in fact is what will happen to them if Obama succeeds -- the failure of bipartisanship has nothing, no nothing, to do with Republican ideological rigidity. It's all the Dems' fault:
Well, I think from the beginning, when the Speaker of the House said, 'We won so we're writing the bill,' that set the stage. It was put through both House and Senate without serious, fundamental, at-the-beginning discussions and negotiations with Republicans. Democrat staffers, as we speak, started last night -- and by the way, we just got the bill last night at 11 o'clock, 778 pages -- they're negotiating now. They will come up with a bill, but unfortunately Republicans will not be involved in those negotiations. And I regret that.
In the interest of full disclosure, that's the way the Bush administration, when we were in charge, that's the way we did business. But I thought we were going to have change. And that change meant that we worked together. This is a setback. This is a setback for all Americans, in my view, because we promised, all of us, that we would work together in a more bipartisan, inclusive fashion, and that's certainly not been the case with this bill. And I regret that deeply.
If he weren't being so obviously disingenuous, one could just assume that Republicans like McCain don't realize that the kind of complete rewriting of the established rules of congressional governance he proposes aren't going to happen overnight -- Democrats aren't going to just set aside their well-earned positions of power and let Republicans start writing their stimulus plan. Republicans have to demonstrate they are trustworthy enough partners in making an effective change.
And what they actually just proved is that they aren't. They still are unable to put their narrow ideological interests above the national well-being, to actually take the ample opportunities to work with Democrats that Obama has given them and do something with them.
Instead, all we've gotten is "I hope he fails" and "porkulus." For which they have earned their seat in the back row of the room for many weeks and months to come.

It's hilarious that any religious person could be so easily tricked as to vote for this idiot John McCain. Adulterer. Employer of Child Molesters. Fucking Stupid Ass idiot self interested and serving asshole. That One.
Absolutely priceless!
Too bad McTwitwad O'Money can't buy a brain with all his coin.
why would there be surprise, much less outrage at yet another repug being given a mic by the mainstream media, especially the sunday sucKKKup circuit clowns.
No big surprise, McPantsload is still clueless as ever.
Doesn't that mean that the repugs should sometimes vote for the bill even if it's not everything they want but it's best for the country overall?
When if ever will the Democratic leadership call a liar a liar? Al Franken did it long ago, thus he's not allowed to take a seat. Anybody else? Crickets.
Generational Theft! Really.......Dear John you clueless SOB....The IRAQ WAR is generational theft! and that was just the beginning! Get back on your bus please and do something constructive with your time, like barbeque.
Isn't that rich.
In a time when the country's economy is collapsing BECAUSE it's sent all its jobs overseas, BECAUSE it's send all its money to overseas companies, BECAUSE its own companies have moved their headquarters offshore, they're saying it's wrong to spend money that will stay here.
Fuckwits.
!!!!!!
who couldn't find his arse with both hands and a road map and he is on the tv to whine? Again?
Isn't it time for his nap?
[Deleted. Do not advocate violence on this site-Sitemonitor]
The guy who was willing to give us Sarah Palin for VP, and whose wife is worth over $100 million, is going to lecture us all about how Nancy Pelosi somehow abused her power and was 'mean' to the GOP?
He's off the deep end.
It's shameful of 'Face the Nation' to give him a platform and air time.
They need to find guests who are relevant and can explain the harsh facts of the future.
They may want to start by reviewing Bill Moyers' recent guest list, and then expand from there. Bringing on McCain to spout nonsense is not going to build their credibility, their ratings, or this nation.
This is the guy to whom we referred as "McSame."
What he pontificates upon is not new.
What's new, and shameful, is that FTN let's him do it.
Perhaps there's a slot he could fill on Fox News?
Schi effer is a good friend of the Shrub too.
We should be ashamed of ourselves. We're bailing ourselves out and our Children and Granchildren will be paying for it for generations.
Is that a turd in your pocket, WE, I didn't vote for any of this crap, starting with St. Ronnie, I won't vote for a repug of any kind.
in the vote for the bailout. If I did, I would have screamed "NO!" to the greedy bankers. This is Bush and Congress' fault.
to send messages, email, faxes, etc. to congress and President Obama to get going and support the Democratic bill and get it passed. The gop will never give up unless we push them over the edge. It has to be this week. We need to support education!
Limpballs has called for war. We need to respond.
Really, put a sock in it. Take your meds and eat your strained peas and shut the F up. Watch your Golden Girls and count your last days but don't try and pretend you are anything but a washed up has been that should have been put out to pasture 8 years ago.
Honestly Jonny, take razors with you to the bath tub and put us all out of your misery.
For 8 fucking years, if you weren't with them you were against them. Bipartisanship was voting with them for their bills, they still think its that way. Shut them out. They deserve the blame for all the ills of our economy. They caused these problems. They lost the election because of these failures. Its past time to tell them to shut the fuck up!
We aren't supposed to take orders from the losers. We aren't supposed to follow the idiots that got us into this mess. President Obama (god I love saying that) please do the right thing and NOT listen to the Rethugs.
never happened.
Gee wiz.. they MO seems to be:
Shit all over the place and then throw a temper tantrum when the cleaning crew misses a spot.
f*ck'em.
Also it is interesting to see the "fiscal" conservative libertarians and republicans in full force. Again, where were they while Bush added a cool $5 trillion of debt with nothing to show for it?
It is not as if they are against wasting money per se, they seem to be against using money to help other people.
And to think this ass was *almost* president ...
the GOP just figured out there are consequences for the deficit/recession and war(s) they handed president Obama and his administration. the (R) doesn't want Obama to succeed. they are confused about their identity. all of a sudden they are the fiscal critics after years of spending like drunken marines. i can't listen to mcLiar any more. i've been waiting for him to tell us how to get bin Laden.
Sen. McCain has been on the Government Teat for all of his life. He has always received a paycheck from Uncle Sam. His father and grandfather were both retired Admirals and he is a retired Captain (O-6), that then became a politician. Yes he was a POW and for that I respect him, but this piece of his history does not make him any closer to the reality of the person on Main St.
His actions and his rhetoric shoe him for what he is - a small minded person who is hidebound in his beliefs. If we can't do it his way, it is wrong and shouldn't be tried. Unfortunately, we have tried it his way and that is why we need to try something new, his way didn't work and got us to where where are today.
The American people have already stated very emphatically Mr. McCain that we didn't want you to lead our country, so let the man we elected do the job we elected him to do. At least that way if he fails he is no worse than you were. But I do not believe he will fail, I believe that he can move our country in the correct direction, not the one of dogma and rhetoric that doesn't mean a rat's ass.
he hates the teat he has been on his entire life. we pay for his healthCare but we can't have the same coverage. what's up with that?
The republicans under George W. Bush thought $800 billion for the banks was ok. Now that it's for the working people, they say screw you!!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/02/08/polit...
Damn these bastards to hell.
I'll eat a big piece of humble pie if the compromise stimulus plan does any more than jolt the stock market and create some temporary jobs.
I'd love to eat that humble pie.
But I'd bet anyone I'm not going to have to do it.
The 600 dollar stimulus checks Bush sent out did nothing. The banker bailout under Bush did nothing. This stimulus will not solve the problems either.
Abraham Lincoln printed Greenbacks. JFK tried to bypass the Federal Reserve to get control of the currency. They both got screwed. We need to take back control of the currency if we are going to do anything. Instead the multi-national banksters and corporatists want us to combine our currencies like they did in Europe. But that might be a conspiracy theory for any children out there so proceed with caution.
you are so right on!
Thanks.
Here's what Schieffer should have asked McCain:
Sen. McCain, you campaigned on a platform of bipartisanship, but the American people chose the Democrats by a large margin. The American people resoundingly rejected the economic policies of the Republican party. Isn't the burden of bipartisanship now on you and the Republican party? What are you prepared to do to reach across the aisle?
Bipartisanship is a joke and yet the lame Democrats keep on keeping on, regarding this fake harmony seeking with the Republicans.
Shame on Barack Obama and the Democratic Party for wasting so much time with these wretched and wicked Republicans.
Obama's schmoozing with the GOP Congress and right-leaning journalist bastards and praising Ronald Reagan during the campaign makes me want to vomit!!!!
hey i understand your point but we did criticize the (R) for partisanship. Obama gave them a chance. the (R) are stuck in the BUSH administration authoritarian ways. NOW we can say we're trying to work together......unlike the BUSH administration. but i totally understand it's definitely a Catch-22 for Obama,
but i still believe it's a reasonable strategy.
It is time the Democratic Party stop appeasing these GOP thugs!!!!
I do not look at the Democratic Party's and Obama outreach program with the GOP thugs as anything but weakness and cowardice by the Democrats. The Democrats will end up giving in more to GOP demands in water-downed bills.
The Republicans, DO NOT COMPROMISE!!!! UNDERSTAND?
The Republicans will NEVER go halfway. It is all or nothing and Obama is very, very naive to think he could have convinced or talked to the Republican theocrats.
The Republicans are still the theocratic party with a rigid and authoritarian belief system. The GOP are also free market fundmentalists, even as capitalism has failed America and the world.
No, I do not share the opinion that Obama is doing something "noble" by reachiing out the GOP thugs/theocrats. Moreover, he is wasting a lot of valuable time by appeasing the GOP and is actually giving in to things like tax cuts and other items that were in the House bill.
Wake up people and realize you do not talk to these Republican sunks without coming away from getting skunk sprayed and smelling awful from it!
If the republicans say something besides the lame crap that already failed, we promise to listen.
If the stimulus bill passes with zero republican votes, it will be a bipartisan bill. We did every non-insane thing the republicans told us to do. We even threw in a couple insane things.
The only way for the Republican Obstructionist Band (ROB) to learn bi-partisanship is to get their butts handed to them.
I like Obama's desire to get past party divisions for the good of the country, but that can't happen until the Republicans are beatdown and marginilaized to the point of extinction.
The media is on their side and repeats their lies without challenge. Obama has to make a case to the American public not only for the stimulus package, but against the ROB's and their partisan ideology.
Once they are beaten we can offer them a hand but not before. Like all bullies they won't play nice until you hurt them.
I believe that the Repugliscum is getting their balls handed to them all this week with Obama going over their heads and straight to the american people.
Obama bent overbackwards to invoke bipartisanship and all he got were head games, the middle finger, and kicked in the shins. Now when he excludes these frauds (they've outed themselves to their constituents now), the people will rally around Obama and kick the Republican scumbags to the curb.
They had their chance and blew it. Frig them all now.
The american people are taking names and every single "no" vote (Rep and Dem) will have every job which is lost, every home which is foreclosed upon, every american who dies because they can't afford to pay their food bill or their medications....on their consciences. And the people will not forget this - not for one moment.
From here on, every no vote in the House and Senate will be facing a tough re-election campaign when their terms expire. There is a new project to sweep out all of the frauds and misanthropes (people haters) in Congress.
I hope this moron keeps making a jackass of himself - it only reminds the populace of how fortunate we are that this jackass is NOT our president right now.
McCain is a disgraced politico - full of lies and smut. He's a whoremonger and his wife's out cheating on him right now. Any wonder??
McImpotent strikes again!
His comments are irrelevant. He's in a lather about bipartisanship now because he can't compete on the issues. The Republicans don't care about the economy. They don't care about us. They care about their busnesses, corporations. That's why it's so easy for them to take talking points from their masters.
McImpotent is a sack of human waste at this point. We can all thank our lucky stars that he is not our commander in chief.
Every time he makes an ass of himself on television, the people take a collective sigh of relief.
His melanoma means that we won't have too much more to witness of this charlatan, thankfully.
Actually, I see McFlaccid making it big with a Viagra commercial soon. He's the poster boy.
where is he mcSURGE? you said you know how to get/capture him?
Remember McLiar during the debate saying "I know where Bin Laden is and I will root him out".....where's McTreason's patriotism now? I don't see him moving off his fat rump to capture him.
i'll bet he cashes that ss check every month. thank the voters this guy and the fake palin aren't the leaders of this country.
would get past Dem vs. Repub.
It's not that.
It's us (ordinary Americans) vs. them (the power structure).
You can't defeat your enemy until you know who your enemy is.
Don't lump Democrats in with repugs, on a democrats worse day it's heads above a repug.
Lyndon Johnson created the Viet Nam war.
No, no, no.
Communism was the repugs bread and butter and any politician at that time who didn't show balls with the commies wasn't gonna get elected. Nixon anyone? With a side dish of Kissinger?
But 1969 was different.
Nixon inheretided the Vietnam war.
It was winnable militarily. It was lost politically.
Fighting for a corrupt government was a waste of our power.
You can't defeat a guerilla enemy solely by the military; Vietnam showed that. Westmoreland and his "body count" missions were all a sham to placate the folks back home...and they failed.
Because the west has to cram its 'lifestyle' (ie fake Democracy) up everyone's arse.
Start with colonisation in the mid 19th century by the French, who battled there for over 15 years to take it, the exit of the French in the 1950s, the arrival of the US during Eisenhower, the addition of 'Advisors' by the Kennedy gang.
Johnson merely lit the fuse.
In general, I concur with your assertion but, in fact, it's the obstructionistas (the Reps) right now who have made themselves the enemy of the people on this bill.
In general, everyone knows the Big Three which we must defeat before the power is restored to the people: Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Military Industrial Complex, and Big Oil.
As someone so articulated, in general, on a bad day a Democrat is much more humanitarian and middle-class oriented than any Republican in Congress.
And hope well.
You are not powerful and evil.
Your opponents are.
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to storm the gates but what group of Americans are ready to do that? It will have to get much nastier before there is revolt.
I'll agree that the radical fringes on both sides are the same-they are two sides of the same coin.
They care only about advancing their own party, at the expense of helping the country- and if they are out of power, they dedicate every second to tearing down the opposition.
There are hate merchants on both sides- The radical right has the fascists, the white power and KKK groups, the extreme left has the anarchists and the 9/11 Truthers (who blame 9/11 on the Jews, and truly hate this country).
I think most Americans are somehwhere in the middle (as opposed to being extreme left or extreme right), and hold liberal and conservative views. By having only 2 parties, the radical fringes tend to take control, thus leaving the moderates and centrists out of the equation, and thus out in the cold..
These lazy America wrecking Talibanublicans are pissed because they only had to work 4 days when they controlled congress now the Dems got em working 6 days including Saturday in an effort to undo the financial terrorism they have brought to America.
it's time to send the repigs back to elementary school
and the principle's office for a good old fashion
butt spanking with a very large and thick paddle with
holes in it. the entire gop is without morals or shame.
elections have consequences. Not the least of which apparently is turning deficit spending, runaway war spending, tax cutting for the rich Rethuglicans into "fiscal conservatives" virtually over night.
McBackstabber referring to Pelosi "We won so we are writing the bill"
Because you know Tom Delay was such a consensus builder!
You can't be bi-partisan with people who would rather throw America under the bus if it could help their election chances in 2010. I hope Obama has finally gotten the message.
McBackstabber is still pissed because the running mate who he picked for purely political reasons was more popular with his wingnut base than he was and because she caused him to loose the election. Now he wants to take out the election results on Obama and America.
Country First!
have either checked out mentally or never had any intelligence to begin with. Tax cuts all day everyday. Yeah what do you say to that person that got laid off "You may have been laid off but at least your taxes are low". Yeah doesn't exactly help the unemployed, but I'm sure these broad cuts support the wealthy quite a bit.
Here's a novel idea, stop all the outrageous spending and put it towards things that help the majority. Let's just go all out and go socialist. We already have socialism for corporations and the rich anyways.
I watch in interest as the path "Leeds" to the "Magic Piggy Banks". The "Buck" literally starts/stops there!
Why do Republicans hate buying American?
You didn't seem to feel that way about funding an illegal war.
What a slimey, hypocritical POS. This asshat has absolutely no shame.
Fucking psychopath.
I see McCain is repeating the tax cut thing, and more tax cuts for the wealthy are going to drive us deeper into the hole.
What I don't understand is why the Democrats bought such a big load of bullshit. I thought the Republican mantra was "tax-cut and spend". Have the Democrats come to believe this works? Most people don't mind paying graduated taxes as long as their incomes are above the poverty level.
And the Republicans are bitching about government-provided jobs, never mind that the military is a huge government employer. Let's face it. The government AND private industry are job-providers, and if one of them fails, the other needs to step up to bat.
The Republicans, DO NOT COMPROMISE!!!! UNDERSTAND?
The Republicans will NEVER go halfway. It is all or nothing with the GOP; the Democrats and Obama are very, very naive to think they could have convinced or talked to these Republican theocrats/market fundamentalists.
I'm not NEARLY as pissed about the Republicans' refusal to compromise as I am about the Democrats' suck-up to the very worst principles in current conservatism.
This might be entertaining for the country if the Democrats were swatting the Republicans like flies every time they drag out their obstructionist garbage. But they aren't. The Dems are like a prissy old woman who's trying to fight off a leg-humping dog with a straw while pretending it isn't happening. They're the object of ridicule.
Silly Democratic "reminders" like "we won" are ridiculous. Does anybody think that'll make the Republicans behave? You gotta' kick 'em in the nuts and make sure it HURTS, and then tell them to get lost and not to come back until they've learned their place.
The Republican pricks don't won't bipartisanship and they'll continue being obstructionist for the next 4 years... and McSame is a shell of the POS he used to be.
The only thing more puke worthy than this bitter old man's cynicism and plastic outrage is the inevitable democratic capitulation to this tired and dangerous dogma.
Hey posters, my good Friend John Lee Hooker Jr. is up for a Grammy this evening. Here's the link to his latest video. It's appropriate and worth watching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEDNVkoxE8
see, I keep typing lots of angry, focused, slightly off-topic but mostly on topic rants in these "economy" threads, but I feel really strongly about this...
but anyway - YOU KNOW WHAT?!!?
fuck Reaganomics! seriously! "oh, hey, ya, see.. you uh.. you cut taxes for richie rich corporations and they'll pass the savings onto you, the little guy, the pissant. ya, see, hey, the richies, they'll get rich, and get bored, and throw their frickin money around. naw, you'll have a blast, you'll get more jobs, yadda yadda..."
thats Reaganomics or "trickle-down", in a nutshell. and - while offensive? its admissible. its acknowledgable. except...
its BULLCRAP!
look - we paid almost... $5 a gallon, for gas! this summer, remember, July, August?? We each spent an extra, what, $2-400/month in transportation costs alone. this spike also drove up our food, clothing, electric, etc.
billions of dollars in profits for leaders of American businesses like BP, Chevron, Texaco...
WHERE... was... the trickle down. hell. if I recall correctly? we *CONTINUED* to lose hundreds of thousands of jobs every month, *THOSE* months, too...
trickle down my ass.
Can I buy you a beer?
"In the interest of full disclosure, that's the way the Bush administration, when we were in charge, that's the way we did business."
ya, he's got a good point. ol, Dick "Full Disclosure" Cheney. thats what they called him right?
In truth - Reaganomics was about trickle-on economic theory.
*
Fuck McCain!!!!!!
Funny, it didn't seem that important to him when Bush was president.
This old fool talking about bipartizianship.
As long AS everyone understand that bipartazianship to a republican means do everything my way!
Fuck these bastards!!!!
I just read an ANOTHER article on Rush Limbaugh, no surprise. It stated he has only 20 million listeners, mostly older, white, conservatives, but they make phone calls, and send faxes and emails.
I was highly insulted by this newsclip. From the very first sentence,
'..Greatest Transfer..' I felt like I was slapped in the face, he was obviously referring to the greatest transfer of wealth to his social class that his buddies did the last eight years. Several other insults and lies were hurled at tax payers like myself, such as 'Buy American' has never worked. Wasn't this fool alive after WWII and the 1950's? 'They' want us to waste time and energy on their antics.
I don't think posting our rants on C & L are sufficient.
clinton made the greatest tax increases in history
hillary wanted to control the greatest chunk of the gdp ever
bill banged the greatest amount of women in the history of letharios
the greatest shift of generational wealth has occured with the iraq occupation....the war and occupation that was to pay for itself
sieze all assests of haliburton and every other thieving contractor and return those monies to the people
STORM THE BASTILLE....OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
what would be happening now if McAngry and Moose Lady were running things.
We did it their way for 8 years. No more. Shrub and Torture are gone. The White House is under new management. In agreement with an earlier post, the Reps need to get on the train or get run over by it.
to think this dipshit has been in the senate how many years. I think he was standing next to dady bush and stupid rubed off on him...
IF YOU WANT BIPARTASANSHIP...STOP USING THE TERM DEMOCRAT
YOU FUCKING AHOLE
ITS DEMOCRATIC
AND WHEN DID YOU EVER SPEAK OUT ON HOW THE BUSHIES WERE RUNNING RUFFSHOD OVER CONGRESS???
EAT SHIT AND DIE TOMORROW
MCCRAZY HAS NEVER WORKED IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE
FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE, HE WILL HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THE LARGESSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
NOW...HE NEEDS TO GO AWAY
I think another thing that upsets McC is that no tax dollars go to companies that send jobs over seas- he calls it "protectionism". Rightwingers are upset about bankers pay being capped at half a million and companies being held responsible for giving jobs to Americans?
Didn't these guys lose? Obviously not big enough. Why do they get so much air time and editorial space? they are the world's biggest losers.
McCain.
Vomit.

Dodged a bullet back in November, eh.
talking too myself. :-P Hell ya... Flip-flopper to say the least!
We're making a big blip on the history time line with this crap! We can only do are individual best as it unfolds. It's not gonna be easy, though we would never learn if we didn't make mistakes...
And you can take that too the bank! :-P
The repugs had total control of our government, kudos to McCain for admitting they completely shut out the dems from anything and everything in the government during that time.
That said with this control they had why are there any taxes on the rich now? Why were they not all eliminated when they had the chance to do it?
The same questions can be asked about any talking point in the repug arsenal;religion,gays,public education whatever it all could have been changed to fit the right wing view of the world and yet it was not, why is that?
snyd69, could you direct me too >>> "The repugs had total control of our government, kudos to McCain for admitting they completely shut out the dems from anything and everything in the government during that time."
"That said with this control they had why are there any taxes on the rich now? Why were they not all eliminated when they had the chance to do it?" :-)

McCain....
AREN'T YOU IRRELEVANT??
Against Obama's rescue dealy...can't say I didn't see that one coming.
These GOP assholes are so hardwired to resist anything Democratic, they'd rather watch the country implode than help.
Assholes!
Talk about sour grapes...this man is so full of crap, it'll soon be seeping out of his eyeballs...What an insult to the intelligence of the American people! That is SO typical of Rethuglican last-century "logic." The insult to American intelligence is that he thinks we're too stupid to realize that the America that exists today can in no way compare to the America that existed during the Great Depression...our population is MUCH larger, our technology is more complex, to say the very least, and this Bill effects not only the US economy, but the entire global economy. But do the Rethugs care? Nooooooooooooooooooo! They only care about their childish, immature, partisan games. If McCain keeps this up this BS, history will NOT remember him for being a war hero who endured torture for his country, but as the idiot responsible for erecting roadblocks to his country's, & the world's, economic recovery, & all because he lost the election & can't take credit for it. How sad...& how typically, last-century Rethuglican!
I think you summed McSpain up very well.
I think it's about time for Obama and the Dem's to steam roll the Republicans. The republicans lost, it is not their government any more, they can go to Hell.
Sounds like McCain is pro-sell-the-States-to-the-rest-of-the-world, because of course buy America means . . .? We're all fucked. Nobody argues about the best way to deal with a massive car accident or should we even do anything about the car accident because while the argument goes, shit gets destroyed.
McCain proves it that the real republican party is D-E-A-D. Buried in the ground type dead. Graveyard type dead. These other "neo-republicant's" are the children of Mafia boss's(McCain daddy-in-law Jim Hensley was a mafia soldier),crooks and nazi's(like Bush) theives and whinning cry babies like Boner and Graham. They aren't republican like you want to think. "Bipartisan"? No friggen way! Vote out McCain, not good at anything, was even a bad POW (he signed a surrender form....no POW does that). Forget the "bipartisan" routine. Obama has to learn the definition of insanity is: to repeat the same thing over and over and expect a different result (Einstein).
Nobody wants to be a republican't. The young don't want it. The minorities don't want it. The old are dead,dead,dead. Screw 'em! They don't want to work with Obama, quit pandering to the stupid. Oh...you can't fix stupid either.

I have been trying to understand teh hatred towards Obama by some of the right wing pundits for about a year now and i cannot come up with one reason for it. What i have came up with are several reasons maybe some one can help me out.
Reason number, hes black and they cannot belive what hapend. Reason number two hes black and a democrat and did not follow the line of succession. Three which maybe more develish, if he sucedes nothing will be the same in Washington ever again.
Number three is the one that bothers me the most, what Obama is calling for is active participation by the American public in how it will be governed, we will hold our elected officials accountable. This would mean no bribes, no illegal campainged contributions. It will mean no more lobyist sponsored trips and it would mean that they (the elcted people) cannot steal our money.
Is McCain pissed yeah he is, will he get over it probaly not, him and Georgeie have effectively destroyed the republican party. There was a time when i would have voted for MCCain say in the 2000 election, because i liked what he stood for, but now all this old man can do is stand in the yard and wave his fist at kids.
So yall tell me what is it, what does the GOP have against Obama and why do they hate America?
