McCain: If Obama is such a defender of the middle class, why did he vote to raise their taxes? - Part 2/2

McCain speech in Albuquerque, NM (10/6/08): McCain takes the gloves off and puts a stop to the haemorrhage of lies.

On Spending:
"He thinks taxes are too low, and I think spending is too high."
"According to third party estimates, he will increase government spending by over $860 billion. He's denied it, but he's refused to say how much he does intend to spend. What is the total of his increased spending? You have a right to know."
On Earmarks:
"His record is actually full of requests for earmarks projects. In his 3 short years in the Senate, he has requested nearly a billion dollars in pork projects for his State, literally a million dollars for every day he's been in office. ... Senator Obama has been an eager participant in this corrupt system."
"He sought nearly $3 million for a new projector at a planetarium in his home town. Coincidentally, the chairman of this planetarium pledged to raise more than $200,000 for Senator Obama's campaign. You know, we don't know whether he ever discussed the money for the planetarium and no one has asked Senator Obama. But even the appearance of this kind of insider dealing disgusts Americans."
On Campaign Financing:
"I have made every single donor to my campaign publicly available. While Senator Obama has taken over $200 million from 'undisclosed sources'. We've already seen the potential for fraud because of his refusal to disclose his donors."
"His campaign had to return $33,000 in illegal foreign funds from Palestinian donors. And this week we found out another $28,000 in illegal donations. Why has Senator Obama refused to disclose the people who are funding his campaign?"
On Healthcare:
"Senator Obama... has actually been misleading about his own plans.... Under the plan he has proposed he will fine families. Can you believe that? If you don't have the policy that he thinks you should he will fine families that don't have the insurance that he tells them to purchase."
"He will fine employers who don't offer the health insurance that he thinks they should offer. What he doesn't say, and what nobody has asked, is how big his fines will be. What he doesn't want you to know is that with a small fine, his plan will just encourage companies to just pay the fine, drop existing healthcare coverage for their employees and leave them with only one real option: Government-run healthcare."
On Change:
"We can't change the system with someone who never fought the system. He's never taken on the leaders of his party on any single issue."
"You don't have to hope that things will change when you vote for me and Sarah Palin. You know things will change because I've been fighting for change in Washington for my whole carrier."

If people call obama lowering taxes on people but raising the taxes on anything and everything that uses fossil fuels which we all use, then yeah he is lowering taxes. In fact research went out and found that obama would cost the average tax payer 800$ more a year after his tax breaks.

Obama will be stopped in these lawsuits. I say the whole ticket should be and must be invalidated. JohnMcCain was and is a hero for this great nation.Obama is nothing but a Muslim radical.
