mccain: 'I promise you, WE will never put America in this position again'.

[Philosoraptor]

mccain said this today, and it is an exact quote, I only capitalized the word 'we' for ironic effect.

Is mccain misquoting or is he telling the truth accidentally? This quote that they've been playing all day seems to infer that it was HIS REPUBLICAN PARTY that is currently putting America 'in this position'.

Anyway, his promise to never put America through economic hard times again is bullshit, just like his whole bad stand up comic routine.

1. he's switching to the missionary position

instead of giving it to us from behind

[Philosoraptor]

6. Without even so much as a reacharound

[tanyev]

2. Sounds like an abuser "apologizing" to his victim.

[yardwork]

18. Exactly.

[JuniperLea]

3. Yep, total bullshit...

How can he say that while his Barbie Doll is going around saying they will fix the economy by "getting government out of the way"... More deregulation.

Yeah... douse that fire with gasoline... that will help loads.

[tjwash]

4. Probably means they'll never put us in a position to have to vote for a candidate again...

...if he gets elected.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. And how would he keep this promise? He admitted he knows nothing about economics.

Just more piles of steaming bullshit from the original shit for brains know-nothing.

[norepubsin08]

7. FUCK HIM

Starting with the Keating 5 he more than helped put this country in this position!! It's like an alcoholic saying I'll never drink again and then giving him a bottle of scotch for Christmas.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. Some rather enjoy going around with a limited

view of things... but I think we've had enough of this stuff the last 8 years. Little did I know I should have been 8Moronicyears.

[malaise]

9. Nice admission

Thanks but no thanks McPalin.

[stray cat]

10. McCain is going to ensure no more GOPers get elected?

[ellie]

11. Not until the next time, that is.

[sharesunited]

12. Is he more weasel than stooge, or more stooge than weasel?

[jimshoes]

13. The only way we can guarantee that happening

is by sending you and Miss Moose packing for AZ and AK on Nov 4.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. well THAT can be used against him

[curious one]

15. Key word is "AGAIN". So he confesses that he did it and promises not to do it again!

[HughBeaumont]

16. Sure John. Exactly HOW is that going to happen without you flip-flo . . . er. . . "reversing"

everything economic that you stand for?

McCain’s position on economic issues facing working Americans? According to ontheissues.org, the pro-free-traders couldn’t have picked a better candidate. He’s stated that “NAFTA has had an unambiguously positive impact on US”, “Every time the US went protectionist, we paid a heavy price” and told workers in Youngstown, Michigan and Wilmington, OH that their jobs either were not coming back or that he didn’t know if he could save them. He voted YES on CAFTA, YES on several free trade agreements (including permanent free trade to China), is pro-NAFTA, pro-GATT and has been rated 100% by the Republi . . . er. . . libertarian CATO Institute.

In case you were wondering, workers . . . all that is BAD for you.

And while he was an early opponent of the Bush tax cuts, he became favorable of them in recent years, stating that the tax system is fair since the “wealthy pay the bulk of taxes”. He’s also lent his support of Social Security privatization, which in a sense means he wishes to "invest" (read: gamble) money that is supposed to be available as insurance for retired workers in their later years.

Bilking retiree dollars for the purpose of “investment” . . . hmmmm, where have I heard that before . . . oh yes, that’s right. The S & L scandal (which McCain was involved in as a member of the Keating Five)! That’s a little crime in which pretty much every citizen of America paid for and is still paying for . . . . everyone, that is, except for the parties involved. They mostly got off scot-free.

I don't know what's more galling . . . the fact that a Freidmanist fool thinks the Insanity Route (tax breaks to corporations and deregulation . . . in other words, expecting a different result out of doing the same failed things) is going to fix this economy or that many red-stater blue collar workers are actually either buying INTO this line of shit or that they just don't care because they're too busy staring at Sarah Palin's ASS.

Just like John McCain does.

[yardwork]

17. The party that wrecked the country promises to never do it again.

[spanone]

19. obviously mcbu$h* hates his own party....can't blame him

[ColbertWatcher]

20. I made a poll similar to your question ...
