McCain's advisors should cancel the 'economic talks' and let Johnny play craps like he really wants to. We've had nearly eight years of a president who wont study the issues. Why four more of a man who wont remember them.

Maybe they can show him how to pump gas since he hasn't done that in years. Of course, when they talk to him, they will need to use small words.... and make sure he doesn't doze off.

Is it just me, or does McCain remind anyone else of a slick used car salesman when he smiles and says 'My friends...'?

There's an obvious fix to the economy....draw down troop levels in Iraq, and get that money back into this country. Foster true energy independence with alternatives to oil (even domestic oil...most of it isn't for us, folks). Reign in government spending and corruption.

After 5 administrations working off of Reaganomics, you'd figure we'd see some, or any, of the benefits of it. We've seen its effects though: 3 recessions with another one on the way or here already and $6.5 trillion extra in debt. The only administration that didn't follow their trickle-down approach was the one that balanced the budget, gave us a small surplus and the longest uninterrupted economic expansion in American history. Based solely on the numbers, Republicans are clearly clueless. It never ceases to amaze me that Republicans can continue talking about running an economy when they obivously know nothing about it.

Just think if McCain was the president of the confederacy during the Civil War the South would have been totally destroyed, and millions of men and women would have lost there lives. This man does not know how to cut his losses and move on. Further, if he was president during the Vietnam conflict we would still be fighting and more than million Americans would have died.

You start ragging on one candidate or the other before you have even heard what they have to say. It points out a problem with our political system too. People say; "I'm a Democrat" or "I'm a Republican" and never even listen to what the other party or party's candidate has to say. How can you vote based on nothing more than party lines and rhetoric?? This isn't your high school football team you are rooting on here, this is a Presidential election. Open your eyes and ears and be your own person, that's why MOST of our distant ancestors came here in the first place. Freedom to decide for themselves.
