McCain Repeats Lie About Obama Voting for Tax Increases

[NatureLuvinLiberal]

AND....This was case of debt, was already in place back in 2006! It's even worse now! And, since (for those of you who don't know this) the national debt is paid off by OUR income taxes, it is completely inevitible that our income taxes will go up. It doesn't matter who is the next president. Do you think that this debt is going to MAGICALLY disappear? The Bush clan has put this country into the WORST economy that this country has EVER seen. But, they're filthy rich via the Iraq War.

[NatureLuvinLiberal]

SuaveOne doesn't seem to understand something. And, people don't seem to talk about this. Raising taxes is inevitible, no matter who lands in the whitehouse. The Bush administration has borrowed more money from other countries, than ALL of the presidential administrations before the Bush clan....COMBINED. Yes, add up ALL of the money borrowed from other countries-before 2001, and it doesn't add up to what this administration has borrowed. We are in SO much more debt than we EVER were

[suaveone101]

do you plan some day to own a house..and possibly sell it?do you hope to be a business owner? do you have asperations of making better money?if the answers to any of these basic questions are yes..think twice before voting for anyone with higher taxes in mind..this includes death tax,inheritance,...

[suaveone101]

the facts are ..Obama HAS voted to recend the tax breaks already in place, this will in fact raise taxes for all that get deductions presently(40k and above)and also has voted to raise social security by 8%..did you notice how he changed the direction of the conversation immediately..think before you blog..irresponsible post make you seem less intelligent that i know you are.

[UltraSWG]

"A 2 income family that makes $250K is not wealthy."

By who's standard? That's over 20 grand a month!

15 grand a month after the Obama taxes, and if you claim no deductions whatsoever!

That still puts you in the top 5% of the country!

Making more in one year than the median cost of a brand new American house... You think that is not wealthy?

Bullshit.

[electropentatonic]

I DID look it up,what a blatant lie to pull in points for the debate he clearly lost

[RuRaptureReady]

On page 373 of John McCain's 2002 memoir Worth the Fighting For, you'll find the following quote:

"I didn't decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize." (explains the Palin pick)

[sciencegirl2012]

Cant you see that Mccain does not give a CRAP about the average American because the word "middle class" did not once come out of his old mouth. But Obama did he was direct with his positions and he had the pause of a Great Leader. Cant you people see that this man is FIGHTING for you..

Obama/Biden 08

[bonespeanut]

you have to raise taxes on somebody you can't raise it on people that don't have money, reagen trickle down never did trickle. With out us people in the middle or low to middle the rich will make money I don't feel sorry for them I don't have to far to fall.

[hurrikane1nov]

Bush's trickle down has been trickling up for 7 years now.

[Rofflwaffle35]

A 2 income family that makes $250K is not wealthy. If they don't own a business that employs real people, then they make a comfortable living and buy goods. Goods like campers, boats, multiple cars, vac homes, etc. In short, they live the American dream & prob work hard as heck to get there. Now, Obama wants to tax them the hardest, and the end result is no more toys, which then puts all those people out of work who builds those things, and thus the cycle continues.

[aaronjet99]

Look mate a lot of people work there arse off for years and barely get enough to eat. I think someone who makes 250,000 dollars year is still going to be JUST FINE if they make 180,000 dollars instead. Man you Americans are stuck up you have no idea.

[ERAUPRCWA]

People are so greedy in this country, it sickens me, someone who makes over $250,000 a year can afford to pay more on taxes, I'm sure they live the life of luxury they can afford it. If I ever make that much someday, i'd be okay with it because I know I could afford it and I probably will make that someday by the time I retire, maybe.

[gumby83854]

Another out of touch Liberal,

Don't worry you will never make that much because Obama will take it before you get it.

[ERAUPRCWA]

1. I'm not a liberal

2. What is Obama doing that's socialist?

3. You can NEVER have a real conversation with someone when you point fingers and call each other names.

Obama has a plan, what's the Republicans plan for healthcare and the economy? How do you think Obama should govern? how should one promote consumer spending and economic growth in a severe recession that started under another administration, to which Obama can't be blamed for.

[frellthat]

"A 2 income family that makes $250K is not wealthy."

HA!

What planet are you from?

No, they're not wealthy, they're just in the wealthiest 3% of the population.

[ERAUPRCWA]

what?

[01Rae2U]

anyone who thinks obama can give all his billions of dollars worth of freebies out and not raise taxes, then you're in denial.

Stop watching robinhood, join the real world.

[nessunabilita]

no tax increase for anyone making less than $250,000 a year. Just FYI.

800 million over the course of three years VS. 15 BILLION a month because a general wants to right what he's wronged?

do the math. A lemon is a lemon is a lemon is a lemon is a lemon. A vote for Obama is the only worthwhile vote.

...unless, of course, you are wealthy enough to not be affected by the impending depression.

[aaronjet99]

Look at a Country that functions DIPSHIT!

[Nihlstorp]

The last thing USA needs is McCain pissing of foreign leaders with this shit.

[crazycoolone]

REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA-BIDEN IN '08!

[zxcasd098]

It would be nice if Obama said :

''Hey Mr.John War are you afraid of me ? why you don't even look at me ? you loser ''

[jpickles]

I doubt that'll ever happen. Obama has too much class to resort to namec alling.

[halkyron]

um no he doesnt he has resorted to it before

[jpickles]

do you have proof of that?

[Tyiina]

Republicans are screwing up BIG time! Nancy Palosi was right!

[jf2mad]

Actually it IS true. Obama's has stated repeatedly that he intends to repeal the "bush tax cuts". I know dems prefer to lie and say that is not a tax increase but it really is. The Bush tax cuts lower taxes on people making $42,000 and up.

Obamas claims to give tax cuts to 95% of the people is actualy a tax stimulus package just like we received this past year for 47% of the people, not a cut. People who already pay no taxes will get yet still another check back from the government.

[BiasBuster]

If it is TRUE please someone put down the bills reference number. "hr ----" or "s---". what bill was it?

[TheRug53]

JF2mad, you have no sources. Obama spoke clearly when he said that 95 percent of the people will get tax cuts. NOT a stiumulus package, because Obama also stated VERY clearly in the debate, "People who are making LESS than $250,000 per year WILL NOT see their taxes rise, only fall."

Also just to clarify. The Bush tax cuts only lower taxes for those making $250,000 and up. Everyone has known that. Get sources or be quiet.

[pghpa611]

Stop the insanity , vote the republican party out of office while we still have some semblance of a naion left. No more , we wont stand for another 4. No more we wont stand for another 4. The Right Wing has ruined this country.

[ohhhgravity]

Unfortunately, lying, war-monging, and flag waving are all the population reacts to. Republicans got this part down perfect - they know what buttons to press for the masses. We are in deep doo doo....

[HenriLandruaNotor]

he is illuminatic scum

[TheBox67]

i will be scared shitless if mccain is elected president. by the way he speaks about "not sitting at the table" all i can think of is how he WILL get us stuck in another war. honestly thats the last thing we need.

McCain still thinks that the US is the domineering power it was back in the 1940's. the fact is that we are not

[1911arthur]

Obama won the independent voter poll just released, 61% to 39%! That was the most important one for him.

Obama won every poll released except the Fox News Poll? How could that be?

[SYNPlaymaker88]

Sorry, it is true. Obama voted for add ons to the 2009 Dem budget that required a tax increase on those who make 41k a year. Obama told a flat lie last night about his tax plan as well, saying he'd not raise taxes on those making under 250k, but according to the Washington Post he'll raise taxes on families filing jointly at 114k, that's a tax raise on people averaging 67k a year, that's hardly rich, that's barely middle class.

[medaa25]

That is just not true. There was a piece in the news yesterday showing that people would pay more tax under a Mccain Plan than under an Obama plan. And there is an independant online tax tool comparing the two candidates and Obama shows that it is consistently more favorable to low income households and middle classes.

[sadieaugust]

After watching the first presidential debate, I am now more convience than ever that Obama should not be answering that 3:00 a.m. phone..."Unless, Joe Biden is sleeping next to him." ;)

McCain was a wrestler. Wrestlers are trained not to look at their opponent. Also, the survival of POWs means "No eye contact". McCain went into the "No Surrender Survivor" mode. Obama will just have to face the fact that this is not a woman he can easily defeat. McCain/Palin 2008!

[slivercord]

yea wrestlers are fake..they fake fight..pussys..

[medaa25]

lol... you really believe your own hype. I don't think Mccain will answer that 3 am call. He'd be sleeping and he's already proven he doesn't like to do 2 things at once.

[lisanovasux]

I take it you are refering to the Multi task comment his holliness obama made well my friend why then did mr obama suspend any campaign stops or rallies all week so he could hole up in "Debate camp" so his handlers could polish him up. And yet he still stammered through most answers. It's called turd polishing, no matter how much you polish it, IT'S STILL A TURD!!! God help us if obama wins!

[medaa25]

Lisa, common sense is universal. And unlike Bush's and Mccain's disciples, we democrats can actually formulate the reasons why we prefer Obama to Mccain without questionning our integrity. Look at your kids in the eyes tonight and tell them that they should safe with Palin running the economy and the military in case Mccain dies. Tell your kids that Palin is the most qualified republican in the US after Mccain... Go and tell them...

[Jbunnyrabbit]

God help us if MCCAIN wins..YOU REALLY are okay with PALIN running your country? I mean its obvious mccain is an idiot, but PALIN??? Damn, I hate america.

[jpickles]

Very sad that you make excuses for McCain's rude behavior.

[RayGamez21]

Mcain hands down lost that debate last night, all i heard last night was i was a p.o.w vote for me,i was a p.o.w. vote for me and god if he says porkbarrel again ill keehall, anyways all of sen obamas comments were all on and forward even when mcain would make a point against him he would look him in the eye and say "john thats not true". Obama has my vote no matter what.

[jdkbj]

Wow finally some people that can write complete sentences on YouTube!! Without using false statements every other word. Good discussion guys!

[xu2mofox]

I wish O'Bama would use tougher language when defending the facts and truth about past Dick Bush lies which McCain & Palin employ shamelessly and without remorse. Our white blue collar men will never vote for O'bama if he doesn't toughen up a bit. Maybe he can draw inspiration from vernacular language of our historical Buffalo Soldiers of the Wild Wild West?

[prideventures]

He refuses to go down that road. Mark my words, we will all see in the end the excellence of Obama. He is not just words. One of his heros is Jordon. He knows how Jordon used to pace himself in games then pour it on at the end to win. Obama does not want to peak early then flutter in the end. Just like Jordon he does not get too high or low, does not get mad really, and just takes what you give then embarass you with his excellence. Just like Tiger Woods he is in the front in the last round.

[xu2mofox]

I really hope he plays like Air Jordan towards the end of this campaign because I'm still so traumatized by the 2004 election (in which Kerry got tougher but still it was too late into the game). But you are right that so far O'Bama has performed almost perfect so it makes it easier to have faith in him and have hope for change we can believe in.

[Ze8us]

Obama should have screamed out what a lying piece of shit McCain is.

[silverandblack68]

McCain is a dirty skumbag.

[thebdgirl]

Is McCain trying to loose on purpose? Thats what it seems to me. Lying shamelessly, promoting war, insisting we should stay in Iraq when we all know we shouldnt have invaded Iraq in the first place, etc Why doesn't he just quit?

[angelsoulnme]

This baffles me as well. If 80+% of the American People want us out of Iraq - why he continues to shamelessly promote staying there until "WE WIN" is beyond me. He also gets me angry with the "Mothers" of our DEAD SOLDIERS begging him to LET US WIN? I agree with Obama when he said that Mothers have told HIM to NOT LET ANOTHER MOTHER go through losing her son to this war.

[thebdgirl]

McCain has mentioned that bracelet on every interview hes been in lately. He sounds like a broken record. No mother wants her child to die under any circumstance, McCain is just a war monger looking for sympathy and avoiding the issues at all cost.

[prideventures]

I loved the return line when Obama said I have a bracelet too. Ask if to say what does that have to do with anything. Everytime Mcain gets in a bind he starts talking about being in prison or his service in the military. He reminds me of the cat in Shrek who gives you the big eyes for sympathy, finally someone bust his ballon.

[jpickles]

Those who see war as a first or second option are poor to lead (i.e. McCain). Those who see war as a last option are more wiser (i.e. Obama). McCain doesn't believe in diplomacy. His iron fist approach to foreign policy will cause other countries to despise USA even more.

[Rekonciliate]

Youre one of those people who thinks the troop surge isnt working. So far, 4000 americans have died, and if we pull out RIGHT AT THE MOMENT when we are about to secure iraq, then what did they die for? The mother obama was talking about is rather illogical and selfish compared to the first one, as harsh as that may sound.

[jpickles]

Those soldier died for something they believed in, which was to serve their country. However, the leaders of the country at the time made a poor judgement to be involved in a war that didn't make any sense. Yes, the soldiers died meaninglessly. It's a tough pill to swallow for some people. But, do you want more American lives to be wasted in a war that cripples the economy and has no relevance to American security in the future?

[kray97]

What's really pathetic about John McCain is that if you confront him with even the most obvious and transparent lie, he just keeps on pretending that he's telling the truth.

[mcj3691]

John McCain is a rickety old lying sack of crap.

[GA30901]

Mccain is dumber than Bush.

[GA30901]

Damn Mccain lied. That don't look good going on live TV making up stupid lies. I can't wait for what Palin have to say in the VP debate. I don't know why some Americans would want to vote for a liar like Mccain.

[MogglasTV]

is it me or does mccain's arms look like they start half way down his side?

[eliotsj]

McCain needs to fire whomever picked that tie. Shouldn't they test it in front of a camera?

[inmate411]

how many times did obama hav to say simply "thats not tru"??(and im gonna count it) dis dum medicare benificiary gon jus stan up on dat stage an lie his prune eatin constipated ass off..

[katoucha05]

Clearly Obama pass the presidential test and he focus more on his policies also.

[RealCaptainAmerica]

Obama let him off easy on that one. I loved when Obama went after McCain on his failed Iraq predictions! That was awesome!

[cooldude2410]

He is just saying shit so he can get support Obama has told the truth about his McCain's flaws but McCain has made mountains and mountains of post-its filled with lies to smear obama

[baddmanaz]

"Senator Obama, are you calling me a liar?"

[ObamaPwnsMcCain]

Here's the pig we'll get the lipstick thursday night.

[pinkkzebraa]

WOW WHAT A DESPERATE VIDEO LOL

[estebanx]

What's wrong with John McCain? Geez, has he gone absolutely batty in the past ten years? He used to seem so honorable, but now he just seems to be mentally ill and, perhaps as a side-effect, creepy. He needs counseling or medication.

[punkiishmob]

If John McCain doesn't scare the shit out of you, it should.

[SandorFne]

Who's your Daddy?

John McCain! He said he's going to take care of the veterans because he always has and they know that. No more details. No more needed. He's our Daddy.

[halfass0369]

McInsane's responses can be summed up in the following: "Veterans" "Sen. Obama doesn't understand" "Veterans" "I was there" "Veterans" "Sen Obama doesn't understand" "Veterans" "I have been there"

[EntropyGuardian]

Which is funny because McCain has a horrible record for voting for bills that would benefit disabled veterans.

I guess if he doesn't need the money nobody does.

[angelsoulnme]

Yes, he has a horrible approval rating with the VETS of America, yet he keeps saying how the Vets KNOW that he will take care of them?

[JimmBeem]

Its crazy im still watching this now.

[MissLorenita82]

And also. Why doesn't he look at Obama when they debate? Very rude.

[lexisnexus71]

He can't look Obama in the eyes because he(Mccain) is lying . All Mccain has left for himself is lies nothing else.

What I don't get is anyone really considering voting for him. I would truly like to understand what about Mccain makes anyone want to vote for him instead of Obama. Why?

[princeword]

Amen!!!

[lexisnexus71]

Thanks for posting this so quickly. Thank you.

[MissLorenita82]

It shows that it is OBAMA that has a degree in both international politics and political science and not McCain.

[lexisnexus71]

Mccain like his vp is out of his mind. He can't seem to stop telling lies. He doesn't care about vets, he doesn't care about middle or poor america. He doesn't care about health care for anyone who is less fortunate than him because if he did then he wouldn't want to privatize it. He is just another George Bush, and this country has had enough of that. I mean come on people how much more can you take? 8 years of hell and it keeps on going. I for one has had enough!!

[MKB2814]

So why did JSM3 forget his flag pin?

[PeaceChick07]

Insane McCain is such a hysterical nuttcase & I would not trust him with my pet hamster!

[vertigate]

McCain is the most childish and immature presidential candidate I have ever seen. What the fuck.

[vertigate]

What is McCain's plan exactly? So here he's in a debate with Obama, telling lies, getting immediately refuted by the man himself. So what happens next? Either the moderators resolve the issue or it remains an open question and people will wait for the pundits to clarify the facts later on. Either way, McCain just ends up highlighting his great weakness, that he's a lying sack of shit and people won't give a damn about what he has to say in the future. Yea, that sounds like a McCain strategy.

[ONEamWALKAH]

Man you wasted no time in getting this up LOL!... It has only been 47 minutes since the debate started here LOL

[drlarrymitchell]

McCain is a lying piece of shit, but the people with brains enough to see that, weren't going to vote for him anyway.

[lisasimps]

At least, we hope so...!
