McCain still thinks he'll balance the budget by 2013. Even with the bailout. Ha ha.

1. They are going to move the entire budget off the books.

Then they can declare it 'balanced'.

[livetohike]

2. The man cannot do simple math

Proof here that he will say and do anything to get elected.

[tanyev]

3. "See, all America has to do is marry someone who inherited a LOT of money.

It worked for me. I haven't had any money problems ever since."

[whistle]

4. Translation: "I am willing to lie and say anything to get elected"

[mascarax]

12. Whistle is correct

How low will he go? Much lower...

[Andy823]

5. He is lying through his teeth

On a daily basis. He knows that if he makes it a full 4 years, it's not likely he would even try for another 4, so he can lie all he wants to get elected, but it will be a different story if he were to get into office. Once elected he would just do as he pleased and damn the people. McCain has nothing to lose, this is his last chance to be president and he will stop and nothing to get into the White House!

6. restraint of spending means

fuck you lower income people, try to live a balanced life and send your kids to school. Go live in your cars and drive on bridges that are falling apart while we drink champagne and eat caviar. If you need medical help, go die, you're just taking up space we can use anyway.


Gaud, that man hasn't a clue, even with all his wifes' money and all their houses, he hasn't been able to buy a clue.

7. WOAH! OMG...

Did he say, "If we tell the Americans..." Does that mean he doesn't consider himself an American? Strange wording!

[ramapo]

8. Ludicrous

Absolutely unbelievable

[Maureen1322]

9. Does this mean he won't tax health care benefits?

[ryanmuegge]

10. He will do it by a combination of "creative" accounting and slashing everything

that's not military offense spending and subsidies for the wealthy. This is the scariest thing about a potential McCain presidency.

He'll go after SS and Medicare, using the bailouts as an excuse (as others have pointed out). The Democrats in congress are so spineless and complicit that they'll go along with it, regardless of the majority.

People who are undecided in this election better make sure they don't get any sort of welfare or help from the federal government that is intended to help the poor before they cast that feel-good vote for that maverick POW guy who says he won't take their guns away.

11. if it's one thing these crooks have shown us it is that they can cook the books

real good. They've kept the entire Iraq war off the books so keeping the bailout off the books won't be hard at all. I'm surprised they haven't declared a balanced budget all along.

[LaPera]

13. Get real Dude...He KNOWS he's bullshitting....does anyone else?

[savistocate]

16. Growth has got to be there to balance..where's that a sure thing Mcclaims

in your economic policy of Bush recycle.

[Plucketeer]

14. LOOK UP BUFFOON IN THE DICTIONARY!!!

That's where McCain's picture is.

Buffoon: :dunce: John McCain ;Sarah Palin ;George W. Bush

[TheEuclideanOne]

15. Spoken like a guy who knows nothing about the economy

So.....Let's say that you say that the economy would be balanced before you add a Trillion dollars plus the effect that this disaster will have on the economy. How is it still equal after you add those? I apologize for restating the obvious here....

I am wondering...is there a tipping point for people's belief of what he says? At some point people have to realize just how irrational what he is saying is. Even if you really, really, really want to believe him, there must be a cutoff point. If Obama started to say so many things that are blatantly false, I would stop supporting him in a second if for no other reason than the fact that he is insulting my intelligence.

[minnesota_liberal]

17. Not even if he excludes Iraq and the Bailout

McCain, you're a sanctimonious, hypocritical, lying assh*le ... my friend!
