How do you propose to pay for the 3 Trillion Dollar war? Any idea what the interst on 3 trillion is per day?
Think the 3 trillion spent on the Iraq killing spree is not a waste of money?

So, it's fine for liberals to continue to bring up McCain's past but when you say andthing about Obama all of a sudden that's wrong.
Next, coming from a liberal who stated "Billy Clinton's martial issues did not mean he could not do his job" I find it funny all of a sudden Liberals are the champions for Marital Issues!
I don't like either candidate. But it's clear Obama seems to think you can increase taxes on income, corporations and capital gains and that helps America. At least McCain has gone on the record he does not support the wasteful spending in Congress. McCain is on the record for the line item veto and the end of earmarks.
Tell me how it makes sense to give Washington politicians more money and all of a sudden they will stop wasting it.
So McCain gets my vote.

Personally, I am not excited about either candidate's personal history. They both lack something to be desired. Based on that, I will vote based policy issues.
McCain will reduce spending. How? Has he said where he will cut? I haven't heard it. Bush said the same thing 8 years ago. He NEVER cut spending, but he did cut income, and he INCREASED spending.
McCain has said that he will balance the budget in 4 years. Has he said how? It's not possible. McCain knows that and you know it, too. The last fiscally conservative Republican was Reagan. Clinton was more fiscally conservative than George W. Bust and McCain.
Obama has, at least, been honest about it. He WILL raise taxes for people making $250,000+ per year. He is going to LOWER taxes on the middle class which I am all for. The MIDDLE CLASS drives the economy, not corporations. When the middle class struggles, the economy struggles as witnessed over the last few years. Many corporations are fiscally sound--especially the oil companies.
Plus, he will at least not continue to spend our tax dollars on a fruitless war effort. That money will at least be used to help the American citizen.
What are McCain proposals? All I've heard is what he doesn't like about Obama. The truth is that he will the approach of President Bust and things will continue to get worse.

How do you propose to raise taxes, give the money to Washington politicians and then expect them not to waste it and continue to spend more than they take in???
Pelosi's Congress took off right where the last one did. Washington has enough money, the issue is they need a spending lesson and giving them more money is not a solution.
By the way, as a % of our GNP our debt is still far lower than many nations on the globe we trade with!

The question was, How do you propose to pay for this war? What will the revenue source be to pay China back? Where will you find (what social programs do you want to shut down) the 3 trillion plus interest to pay for the Iraq Mistake?

You know it is a shame that it took this long for the average American to know that phil's remarks on people losing their jobs or aren't making enough money as whiners are really how all Republicans feel about them and their problems at home.
Lost your job?...tough luck
Can't feed your kids?...tough luck
Sick?..tougn luck
Lost your home?... tough luck
It doesn't matter how much you suffer as long as the corperations make their money, it means the economy is sound and you are just a loser in their eyes.
When will America wake up and see these crooks in the republican party selling away your country and life.

What I am getting at is that Republicans don't understand what Americans go through every day. They are out of touch and have been from the start. They harp about how they are the party of values but they value nothing unless it can be sold.
And no, I don't want goverment to take care of me, I was it to represent me for once instead of some suit in an office on the top floor of some building that doesn't care who the hell they have to step on to get their money.
And what are you talking about? There is no free market.
