Liberals are claiming McCain is out of touch, because on Monday, he stated “The fundamentals of the economy are strong”
If you are going to make a quote, and try to savage someone, why don’t you at least include the whole quote? Or, will that not fit into your hysterical liberal view?
What he said was:
“The fundamentals of the economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times.” source.
Instead, you chose to take just the first half, making McCain look like a buffoon. Nice.
We are not in a depression. We are not even in bad shape. Unemployment is moderate, not high. We have finacial institutions that bought, or underwrote NINJA loans for some people – No Income, No Job, No Assets, which was mandated by law during the Clinton years, to help out low, or no income people get into homes. Jeez, worked out well didn’t it? Another liberal feel-good program screwing up the lives of people. The effects:
- People getting thrown out of homes. These people were given loans they could not afford; as a result, when they lost their jobs, or ran through a bad financial period, they lost the home.
- Inflated housing prices. Since more people were getting loans, home prices went up – especially on higher priced homes – due to the increased competition for those homes. Now that the housing bubble is bursting, people are losing equity in their homes.
- Major financial institutions go into default. Since banking institutions were compelled to make these insane loans, when they were called in by other institutions, they couldn’t pay.
Yeah, let’s go for more democrat do-gooder solutions.
Look, even McCain had to admit that his statement was ambiguous,made him look foolish, and, in between campaign stops, his team invented the notion that the “fundamentals” McCain referred to was ‘the American worker.” Come on! That doesn’t even pass the giggle test.
If you feel comfortable supporting a guy who doesn’t have a message, doesn’t have a plan, and is a puppet for the neo-conservatives and the Christian evangelicals, then McCain is your man. He’s not mine.
We can’t afford a McCain-Palin administration. We’ve got a Republican-led train wreck underway that will take real leadership to resolve. McCain is so lame, he didn’t even get to have a say on who he wanted for Vice President. McCain isn’t the man he was in 2000. That guy is someone I would have taken a look at. The 2008 model is pathetic.
Enough! Democrat Dave
What “train wreck”, Dave?
You might want to see my post, “Four More Years of Bush? Hell Yes!”
I dunno, Dave, maybe you’re right. Instead of voting for a guy with decades of experience in Washington (often bucking the system), has actually defended his country (not just talked about it), and supports life, maybe I should Vote for the Obama/Obama/Biden ticket. No, that’s not a typo. Michelle Obama is the stealth Hillary Clinton. I think three lawyers running the country would be a good thing. Silly me.
