His administration will also not grant conservative media access of any kind. By then, with the economy in shambles, he and the democratic party will announce that the "failed republican policies of the last 8 years (never mind that democrats controlled the house and senate for the last two), have made it impossible to govern the country in the short term, so we are suspending presidential elections until such time as the country is stabilized."

In one breath he says he will reach across the aisle, and in the next he slams the democrats and embraces the extreme right of the republican party. It's a shame...I don't think McCain is a bad guy, he has just sold out to the conservatives.

He has destroyed America as we know it! Anyone believing that McCain will offer anything else other than what we have had for the last 8 years is living in serious denial. McCain will continue the destruction, even more severely, that Bush started 8 years ago! The End of America by Obama: You need to realize that the end of America has happened with Bush.

Only Barack Obama has displayed those traits in this contest. Obama has laid out a detailed economic policy and the brilliant conduct of his campaign shows he and his team are capable of executing this policy. Johnnie McCain blew through $26 million before the primaries and didn't even know where it all went. That's why he had to nearly shut down his campaign last August. This shows that even if Johnnie had a coherent economic policy he wouldn't be able to pull it off. Obama has been steady at the helm while Johnnie has been all over the place.

He wants to give a tax break to those of us who have a TAXABLE income of less than a quarter of a million dollars, and so many people are upset. What about multi billion dollar corporations that currently pay NO TAXES? I think they can stand to pay a small percent for once! John McCain is laughable when he claims he is a friend to the taxpayer. Aside from being a Keating 5 senator he was a champion of deregulation for years. Now even Greenspan acknowledges that was a huge mistake. Unfortunately you will see two Americas here. One that can take the time to read the facts and one that listens to lies and spin from a campaign so desperate to win they don't even know what their policies will be. You can't attack the economy with slurs if you win the white house. Yell all you want, it's not going to help you there. It is so strange that people get so upset about Obama "spreading the wealth".

We should forget in this stroke of fear-mongering, his ineptitude, temperament, anger, incompetence, wrong ideas for the time, bellicose attitude, Palin's unfitness to be President should anything happen to him, his mostly upper-crust concern for the rich, his strong alliance for the Bush policies that brought us into this economic mess, and more! He is dreaming in technicolor! What Democrats need is a strong mandate that will break the gridlock in Washington. Then they can implement a true agenda for change. Then as well, under a possible Obama Presidency, the United States can begin to rebuild its sullied image abroad under Bush. Say no to McCain! McCAIN’S LAST DESPERATE PLEA

More tax relief to rich seem to be republicans way of building the economy - that has rewarded wall street destroying pension wealth for retirees.. With republicans we will be locked in a 100 year war in Iraq wasting our present (we have lost 8 years of that already),our future, our children's future apart from losing trillions of dollars...

Another sad thing is that most of you call yourselves Christians. REALLY... You think you are Christ-like. I dont think so, and most people dont either.

Lame argument dude. Wanna know why I'm voting for McCain? Simple answer...experience level. I'm in my 4th year with a company that employs 50K people, does that qualify me to be the next CEO? Do I have all the experience in ALL facets of my company in my 4th year? Can you honestly say that Obama has the same experience level as McCain? Foreign policy? National security matters? Domestic matters? You and the other liberal Dems may not like McCain or Palin, maybe some do, no one with a working brain can ever argue who has the experience level for the very top job in this country. Taxes, economy, healthcare, the wars....all that aside, the only people in this election qualified to be POTUS are John McCain and Joe Biden. The only problem for the Dems is Biden isn't on the top of your ticket. EXPERIENCE MATTERS! John McCain for President. MG-

We never came out of the previous downturn. McCain decided 3 or more weeks ago to not campaign actively in this state anymore. Now, I can understand that he had X amount of resources and needed to decide where to spend them, but Michigan turned solidly blue after he did that. It's almost like he told the residents of the Great Lakes state I've got more important things to do. I live in Michigan which is in the worst shape financially of any state.

Well, I work for the U S Postal service and I do have the same health plan that covers the members of congress!! It is called the FEHB - Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan. I pay $42.00 a month for health coverage and $10.00 a month for dental coverage. That is a total of $52.00 dollars a month for health and dental coverage!!!!!!! Of course my employer, does subsidise my insurance, but the way I look at it, "if I'm going to pay taxes - at least I have something to show for it. Like health coverage, good roads, good schools and law enforcement." Also, by the way having had a couple of "small businesses" myself there is a couple of things that can be "written off" on your taxes such as having to pay for health coverage for your employees. Just get yourself a good accountant who knows the tax laws. Mc Cain is just not realizing the reality of what is going on with the average "Joe" on the street. Taxes or not, the country has to get out of this mess that the financial industries and not to mention the borrowers created. I think that Obama is the man to do it.
