Apparently his idea to inflate car tires with air is new to many libs!

Key issues? That's funny, I can't find a discussion about "issues" just things that actually unworthy of being printed in a tabloid. McCain's wife's sister, Obama's 39th half-brother, meanwhile the country is going to hell in a hand basket.

Go China! In Wal-Mart We Trust.

McCain, the Leader American Deserves.

McCain will continue the Bush policies.
Bush declared war on a country that did not attack us.
In so doing, he ruined the best economy ever handed a US president in remembered history.
He has pulled funding and support from R&D for alternate energy, from rebates to encourage people to wean themselves away from big oil.
He pulled the final plug on the Glass-Steagall Acts, which were instituted after the great depression specifically to avoid another depression, and by so doing he may have created another.
You can lay much of the blame for the situation we are now in at his feet, the guy who probably would have failed college - but when he went to college the lowest grade they could have given was a 'C', which he got.
And some people are so easily swayed by one liners and heart-wrenching platitudes instead of honest thought that they would vote for a dummy like McCain, who finished fifth from the bottom of his class.

Sorry i didn't realise the multitude of Americans who overextended themselves by buying property that they couldn't afford was Bush's fault. The global price of oil rising must also have been Bush's fault. Defending the USA from tyrants who wanted to destroy or poison America was a fault too. Allowing the 911 plotters to roam free even after intelligence pointed them out as a threat was Bush's fault. Listening to his security advisors was his fault too. Don't think so!
