Don't worry, their response will change 5 times before the AM drive

Judging from the way it set the P&N righties to raving and foaming at the mouth, it was excellent.

So, please, continue- show the world your bitter and empty invective driven by fear and ignorance- Compassionate Conservatism revealed for what it truly is.

Give it your best shot- You do your cause no favors.

Considering that in the last 12 months approximately $1.5 trillion dollars has been added to the Federal debt it should not be that difficult.

Of course, that is assuming that the Treasury Dept, the SEC and the Federal Reserve can't find anymore insolvent banks, insurance companies and auto makers to bail out with taxpayer dollars.

Yes, unfortunately, there are. I'll give you, i'll give you, I'll give you and I'll cut your taxes. Bulllllshittttt. But who am I to question THE MESSIAH.

It was a putrid piece of shit but when you've drank as much of the kool-aid as his cult has, you'll barely taste it.

Tell me how McCain's message is any different?

Even though he's run a horrible campaign on public money, he's gonna do much better when he's President.

Even though his campaign has been 75% negative and distortive of the facts, he going to restore value and integrity to Washington.

Even though he's been behind Bush 90% of the time, he's an agent of change and reform.

Even though he blasts Democrats left and right on the campaign trail and interviews, he's going to continue his legacy of "reaching across party lines."

Even though we haven't come an inch closer to finding OBL, he knows how to do, but has just been keeping it secret for himself.

Even though he chose a wet-behind-the-ears twit for his running-mate, and had given support for Joe "the should-be sterilized" Plumber, he's going to get the smartest people in the world into a big room to solve all our problems.

Even though he's gonna keep the current tax cuts for everyone, give more tax cuts to the wealthy, and freeze all government spending, he's somehow going to also increase education, provide aid to college students, fix social security, strengthen the military, give more money to the banks and auto-industries and buy all our houses, to boot!


Woohoo! They're both miracle workers! :roll:

Very well done, and I believe it could sway many undecided that actually listened.

Also very different from the mother of all negativity McCain campaign.

Makes sense.
Biden has already changed it to $150,000.

OK OK Obama is as American as apple pie and twice as tasty. Even as a partisan democrat, I was hoping for more but I got a Chinese take out meal, an hour later and I will not remember eating anything.

But still, it does not give McCain anything either, as Obama is the one who can afford to play it safe. All Obama has to do now is defend himself from McCain smears, while McCain resorts to villainous desperation tactics that may well backfire. Or so it appears, did anyone notice that the whole 30 minutes went by without a single mention of McCain or Palin?

Did you watch his infomercial? It was typed across the screen that those making more than $200k would receive the tax increase with everyone under getting a tax cut.
