Who you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? Remember that line about our last President? Well, it fits his wife and Sen McCain too. No more Washington insiders, no more "amnesty"., we need proven leaders like Mitt or Rudy, people that have actually done something outside of the beltway. Sen McCain is right about the War(so does Mitt and Rudy) and has earned our respect for his conduct in Vietnam, but he has never managed a business, a city, or a state. Nope, thanks for your service Senator, but we need a President.

I was disheartened to hear McCain, Romney and Giuliana all jump on the bandwagon during last night's debate in support of the band-aid "economic stimulus package" being trotted out on capital hill. George Bush beseeched the American public to strike a blow for freedom after 9/11 by going to the mall and maxing out their credit cards while the federal reserve handed out free money to anybody who would take it, fueling a devaluation of the dollar, massive consumer debt and an unsustainable inflation of home prices. Now that hastily constructed house of cards is coming down and our leadership once again implores the American public to spend more money. Don't have any, you say? Can't borrow another dime? Don't sweat it, your government is going to give you the money; they've got a printing press out back. We spent our way into this mess and somehow, by the convoluted logic of Washington politics, we are going to spend out way out of it. Adam Smith and George Orwell must both be spinning in their graves as our leadership steers the US economy into a slow motion death spiral. At least Huckabee (and I'm no fan of his) said it straight when he asked whose economy is really going to be stimulated, given that the government will need to borrow the money from China to give everybody a couple of hundred bucks which Bush and congress are encouraging them to go out and spend immediately on a bunch of consumer goods from, you guessed it, China. How's that for logic? And props to Ron Paul for throwing in his two cents regarding the inappropriate actions of the federal reserve in manipulating monetary policy to cover the butt of a financial sector which crawled out on a limb and sawed it off behind themselves. Ralph Waldo Emerson. in his essay "The Conservative," stated, "the order of things is as good as the character of the population permits." Judging from recent history, our collective character needs some work.

Give me a break. John McCain's campaign finance reform bill is just one of the latest of his awful unconstitutional positions. Please do not compare him with The Duke. This doesn't surprise me coming from Brown though, he's also a moderate's moderate.

Bob Brown and John McCain are RINOs. The O'Conner Center in Missoula is a well established liberal "think tank" (oxymoron). To think that McCain has voted with more Democrats and still considers himself a Republican is intellectually dishonesty at its apex. That being said, I'd still vote for him long before I'd vote for Shillary Clinton or B. Hussein Obama.

dwb, I`m not for the latest give away either but, be honest, the democrats share the guilty. We don`t see Max or JonJon or Hillary or Harry or Nancy or any of the rest of them saying NO.

Anyone who has been around the jackal infested DC area that long, can not be trusted. In fact 5 minutes in that hellhole is all it takes to get brainwashed.

CDN: I expect these types of programs from the Democrats; they are the raison d'etre of social liberals. The Republicans should know better. It serves to reaffirm my thought that this country no longer has a functioning two party system but a plutocracy which adroitly reframes its positions to pander to the targeted demographic, be they Republican or Democrat.

YES!!! GO MCCAIN!!!! Obama sucks.

I made a pro-McCain / anti-Obama comment earlier and the MODERATOR wouldn't post it! Go figure!

Anything coming out of the Republican party would kill this country. Bush has already done his level best to drive this country into the ground. It's time to get back on track! Say NO to anyone tagged as a Republican!
