I mean, i hate John Mccain, but he's got kind of a point, yes people are loosing real money but if we all felt like the economy would get better if we did something, then it would. i think that's what he's trying to say. he just kind of... sucked at it.

Try telling that to my 401k that just took an 18% psychological loss.

The neocons fraudulent economic policies have brought us: - perpetual war with other nations - 10 trillion dollar national debt - 400 billion dollar trade deficit - Massive monopoly building (ignoring the Sherman Anti-monopoly Act) - Absurdly high CEO compensation and rewards - even for failure! - financial deregulation causing the mortgage crisis - 5.7% jobless rate and countless jobs shipped overseas - media campaign of fear to suppress the masses Vote for Change! Vote Obama 08!

Gee, you are in denial as well!

No doubt you are one of those 27% of the US who are dead-enders.

Nothing will ever convince you to face the truth about these republican criminals.

McCain is in denial and a proven liar. Today, he repudiates his chief economic advisor for saying the same thing.  Ooopsie.

Barack Landslide Hussein Obama in 2008!
