Behind The Scenes: Youngstown, OH

100 years in Iraq.

George W McCain has promised to keep American troops in Iraq for 100 years.

100 years in Iraq.

[apromoterofgod]

He isn't George W McCain. You thinking so would be a lie.

[beepeelow]

Like him or not, thank you for visiting Youngstown Ohio. The manufacturing towns in the upper midwest are in sad shape. Youngstown especially.

If you drive a thousand miles a month, an eighteen cent per gallon tax cut will save you just over five dollars a month.......enough to buy a cheap meal at McDonald's. Great savings, huh? At the same time it is another tax cut that puts the payback on your children and grandchildren.

You can also be sure that the oil companies will raise the price enough to make there be no savings at all.

Let's have some real politicians with real solutions. Not band-aids.

18C A GALLON WILL CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THEN HELP!!! AND HE CALLS IT A HOLIDAY... .HMMMPh

[Richardgwm]

How many times has McCain been divorced?

We know Obama has never been divorced.

[framespeaker]

yeah, but we sure as hell know that obama willingly had his kids christened by a salivating racist.

[FreeAgain2]

McCain will make a good President. For both sides of the the isle. ...

Where is the encouragement of American entrepreneurship? Where is the encouragement of empowerment? It is too easy to rely on others to produce the items we want for too low of price. I'm sorry Senator McCain, but I'm not being moved. A real plan is not in the enabling of encouraging more of the same mindset. I LIKE free stuff, but it is only a temporal fix. This let them eat cake mentality won't work for very long as far as any long term solution. I'm not seeing you as being authentic.

If American corporations wish to move elsewhere for whatever reason fine. Where is the empowerment of new American businesses to seed to replenish where they left? We've become a society that digs up farmland and historical landmarks to replace it with manors and designer coffee. Our American heartland is strongly founded on our farmers. If they go under the rest will follow, and we as a nation will regret our decadence. We feel hostage to gas now, but tomorrow it'll be to corn and tomatoes.

[magie19475]

It is putting all our eggs in one basket to rely solely on our fleeing corporations due to a better bottom line. We need American empowerment, not the government giving a notion of being a fix all-or allowing the commodity of individuals from other areas of the world with a better work ethic than we forgot that we had. Maybe they will be the ones who actually rebuild the American work ethic. How many of our own children know what it means to 'shuck' corn or what a tomato plant even looks like?

Under Bill Clinton, the S&P 500 soared 210%. Since George Bush took office, the S&P 500 has gained 4%. That is not 4% per year. That is 4% over the entire 7+ years.

We cannot afford another four years of George Bush economics under John McCain.

[neotoy]

Why not do something about the $20+ billion in windfall profits that big oil raked in last year due to unethical corporate gouging? Why do you republicans always stick up for these bloodsucking multinationals? Doesn't the phrase "For the people" mean anything anymore?

john McCau\in for president

[Gondeath]

Obama '08!

[loganlks2007]

Barack Obama '08!

[semiliteratedgod]

Yea, let's stay for 1000 years in Iraq!!

For only $500,000,000,000/year!

McCain '08!

[Gondeath]

McCain does not support our troops more than Obama or Clinton.

- McCain won't support the GI bill for Iraqi veterans

- McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years

- On at least 10 occasions, McCain voted against arming and equipping the troops

- McCain voted against providing adequate rest for the troops between deployments

- McCain voted against health care or other benefits for veterans

- McCain voted against better educational benefits for veterans

[derpified]

Gondeath, please don't confuse us with facts.

[Gondeath]

"don't confuse us with facts"

I like facts though:

Out of the 150,000+ dead Iraqis due to our war efforts in half a decade only 2% of them are tied to Al Qaeda (our enemy). The Bush Administration now says there were no WMDs and Iraq had no connection to the 9/11 attacks.

"I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for 100 years or 1,000 years or 10,000 years... if Americans are there in a support role, but they're not taking casualties, that's fine" -- John McCain

[ewelmcc]
