John McCained

[genericdefault]

Middle Class Tax Cuts eh? I work my ass off to make my 35-45k a year and since he's been elected my taxes have almost doubled!

[BeerJuice87]

That's a blatant lie.

[LUCIOVALDEZ]

I've noticed that Obama uses way more advanced words than Bush and McCain. hehe =]

[namesdntexist]

Uh - yes he is a Proletariat, traccan. Do you even know what that is the bridge too? You're right - it IS people like you who elect people like that and get this country in trouble.

[moneyman237952]

Bush was the one who got this country in trouble. Obama is trying to fix it.

[stephag14]

"let's not place taxes on anyone.... today"

psssssh.

[namesdntexist]

Obama = Proletariat. Not good for this country.

[traccan]

Obama = Proletariat??? OMG get your head out of the sand and do some research..Obama is part owner of a major league baseball franchise; he's almost as wealthy as Mccain...

it's comments like these that explain why Americans are electing the kind of leadership they have been for the past 20 years.

[moneyman237952]

what team is he part owner of? This is news to me.

[traccan]

The Arizona Diamondbacks. Perhaps he's sold off his part since he's President, I dunno, but he certainly was prior to the election.

[duocdinh]

B my pusssy is wet 1

McCain Linked To Group In Iran Contra Case

presidential nominee John McCain has past connections to a private group that supplied aid to guerrillas seeking to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua in the Iran-Contra affair. The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America.

[1carderock]

Everyone's comments sound good to me. I was a Republican until Palin came on the ticket, then my alarm bell sounded: No, this can't be the blood-sucking claim-jumping Palins of Alaska, really? Yes, but will America know the half of what the Palins are covering up? I worked for oil companies in the Middle East. Palin is after Alaskan oil, leases and America's public oil, yours and mine. It's not McCain that is the "smart one". Sarah is playing Biden and Americans for suckers just like Cheney did.

[wheresmynapkin32]

Firstly, drx, are you kidding me? Thats racist and just plainly incorrect. Second, tax cuts sound good to those who pay them but what the people don't understand is that our debt is directly related to the economy and the tax cuts will not help... How are we going to pay our increasing debt without taxing the citizens? Where is the money going to come from? McCain says that the economy and debt is primal, yet hes for all out tax cuts. No, it sucks but we must help pay our way out of this.

[varghesee]

I think either way America wins! Go USA!

[nazbites]

Obama is a honest , and loving man. He is here to save us.

[drx5155]

your messiah will do nothing but cause problems for this country. Terrorists, our enemies, want him to be president so they can more easily carry out their actions. So go ahead wote for your Black Jesus

[nazbites]

That is a very racist comment. I am not on his side because he is colored , but I am on his side because he is the best option on the plate. Besides if McCain's president we will all die in poverty. He's just another older uglier immitation of George Bush. McCain will only continue to bring problems for the nation.

[drx5155]

Yet a true statment...and it's not the governments responsibility to bail anybody out of poverty.... thats what welfare is for, and I strongly support it .....but people need to start taking responsibility for their own lives.... not waiting on the government to save them

[musicangelz]

i hope you realize he is only half black, his mother is white and they divorced when obama was still a baby. so he probably doesn't know much about his african descent...

[mysterymediacorp]

you have to be smarter than you sound,why couldn't he read or be told about aspects of his past ? you're probably about 8 or 9 years old,so I excuse you

[musicangelz]

thanks, well at least i know my generation is actually interested in the elections, even though we're far from being able to vote..... but, you have to admit that growing up with a type of culture and being told about another culture is different... i'm just trying to point out that obama is not a "black jesus"

[drx5155]

yeah no shit.... even if he dosent kno much about his african decent he still gets credit for being a halfrican anyways...

[thebox193]

"Maybe someone here has done business with Ebay?" Lol, has McCain been to Ebay? ...and no you don't have to drive to get the Ebay store.

[JanielJacknife]

thank you for posting this, i ws so upset when i missed it. :D

[Greenville13]

McCain dwells too much on what had been, which convince me that he is not the man for the job! The war is a issue, but we need someone to tackle the economy issues.I hope USA troops don't think pulling out of Araq is a defect, when the war is senseless anyway! They have the victory! I respect his experience and knowledge but I can't support anyone who whats to make the rich richer! On top of that he allows his VP to smear trash! That goes to show you how prepared Rep. really is!!!!!

[Nagees]

Hey, bud...The war is one of the HUGE parts of the economy....It's a good thing you know what your saying? I guess? And yes pulling out of Iraq would cause problems, that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, but you said "I hope USA troops don't think pulling out of Araq is a defect..." Well dude, it is. As soon as we pull out, the tension that we have been putting on them, is gone. Therefore, they do whatever they want. So what do they do? Arm up. Duh. And fire back? And Palin isnt firing trash.lol

[yokoisloco]

Obama's tax cut for the middle class is great and all.

Except, HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSE TO PAY BACK ALL THE FUCKING DEBT WE HAVE GOT OURSELVES INTO?

[yokoisloco]

GO MCCAIN.

[colelikesitinthebutt]

my ex bf cheated on me so im gonna get him back!

[paintballer7449]

how does this have anything to do with the debate?

[TifaLockheart1234]

To colelikesitinthebutt

what are you trying to get attention?

[bamabud]

"Pelosi said Wednesday that a $150 billion economic stimulus plan is needed now because of the faltering economy and she may call the House into session after the election to pass it." Anyone who thinks Obama will bring "change" is sadly mistaken. He will bring more statism, more central planning.

[Relacuna]

Obama is more prepared, he knows what he's going to do. McCain sounds like he always has to stop and think, and just say what people want to hear. He almost stutters.

In general, we need tax cuts, and I believe Obama has the skills and the desire to fix the economy. Bush screwed everything up for us.

[4cupsofcoffee]

One more thing: If McCain can't even shake his fellow Congressman's hand, then how confident are you that he can represent your country to reduce international tensions?

[thelizardishking]

McCain, pretty much the opening line.

"We gotta stop sending 700billion dollars to countries that don't like us very much"

Too bad the senate just passed a bill that is now a law to secretly do just that, using your tax dollars! Hey Americans, lets get these jokers out of the Whitehouse. Vote for Obama!!!!

[CaliforniaWanderer]

McCain-"lets not raise taxes on anybody....today"....that is not what I want to hear. Taxes can not be raised on the US residents EVER! McCain will make our economy crumble to the point of ruin and failure.

[bamabud]

Damn straight, CaliforniaWanderer. Income tax should be abolished, period. It's unconstitutional and a form of serfdom. The government decides how much of the money you earn you get to keep. If they can demand 1%, they can demand 100%. Taxes are collected by force or threat of force. Taxation without representation was one of the reasons for the Revolution, and it wasn't about the amount. It was about the principle. Blame the rich, but put Paulson (or Buffet or "other folks") in charge. Idiocy.

[chachee99]

Obama voted yes to the recipe of disaster for the economy. He has shown the people that the money is going to get pissed away.

[ghrle09]

sorry to say this but america is fucked its going to get alot worse

[Anita820]

McCain is just plain creepy. Just the way he moves shows how he isnt comfortable.and if you arent comfortable in that situation , how the hell you expect to run a country

[drx5155]

That's because ha was TORTURED as a POW! If your goin to disrespect an American Hero then you dont deserve to live in this country

[Anita820]

If u are running for president ,you should know how to carry urself in any situtation ur put it.I wasnt talking about his looks.but how he carries himself and it has NOTHING 2 do w/ him being tortured.Many others were tortured 2 and i respect them higly.But u dont hear others milking it as much as he does.RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PAST!IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. McCain is living in the past.vote 4 him . U get what u been getting the past 4yrs

[bamabud]

God, these guys are idiots. The idea that either one can "fix" the economy is ludicrous. Neither saw what was coming. Neither understands what it happening. Obama thinks it's because of the economic policies of the last eight years. Moron. And, McCain is just nuts.

[mandyjuelz]

Isn't Obama right? The people that have been in office the last 8 years are the people the let the country get this way...right? They're the ones that have been in control...right?

[bamabud]

mandyjuelz, I am not saying that the Bush administration hasn't helped to create a mess, but they are not the only reason why we are in this mess. The Democrats have to share in the blame. Congress has abdicated its Constitutional responsibilities time and time again. The causes of the current crisis go way back. The real problem is central planning, regardless of whether it's on the fascist side or the communist side.

[nobodyimportant23423]

Many thanks for taking the time to post the debates Kyle.

[lj4adotcomdan]

See my video response to learn why Meg Whitman is a HORRIBLE choice for McCain's short list for Secretary of the Treasury.

[fokGoogol]

Thank you for the effort of posting this so fast :) Highly appreciated. Here in Holland these YouTube posts are the best way to follow the debates if we don't want to stay up 'till 4:30 AM.

Personally I think Obama will do better but I've just started watching.

[njattack]

There is only one way to fix the U.S. economy:

1.) "The 12 million illegal aliens and hundreds of thousands of H-1B visa foreigners must be deported."

2.) "Prosecute the corrupt business men and politicians."

These two steps will turn the economy around. All else is superficial because those are the root causes for the U.S. economic decline.

This is what Eisenhower did in 1954 and created unprecedented growth for Americans.

[TokyoMK]

Do the respective campaign managers call each other prior to the debate to make sure the candidates do not wear the same color necktie?

[corporatewhorin]

yes, definitely, i appreciate your initiative on posting this debate so soon

[mardekan]

No contest here, Obama did it tonight. McCain looked lost. 28 more days before Obama flushes them out. Don't relax, make sure you get everyone to go out and vote.
