Your summary implies that ABC is biased against McCain, but can we at least allow the possibility that they are biased against hypocrisy? Perhaps they're growing a pair and realizing that accuracy is more important than balance?

Well the 'scumbag' part i managed to miss in the report... Something tells me if whoever it is McCain is listening to these days came to him with a poll showing he could get a couple point bump if he was anti-puppy, we'd see him kicking a dog that same day.

Yeah, the "scumbag" part was me. It makes for a great headline tho!

Naaaa i know i'm new here Volumptous... but i had you pegged as a die hard McCain fan...

Is it that obvious? =]

Apparently his campaign manager gave him the "beat a dead horse" memo a long time ago.

McCain is all about big friggen business, he's all about the rich getting richer, he's all about the 'free market', and letting companies do whatever the f*ck they want.

He's an anti society rich bastard who will cause me to consider the world on the way down the gurgler if he gets into power

Consideration may be a moot point... if he gets elected there is a very real chance that the world WILL be on it's way down the 'gurgler'...

Volumptuous, I think the word you were looking for was "liar" or "hypocrite", not "scumbag".

Had this clip been about voting down veteran's benefits, or helping defeat legislation to provide children with healthcare assistance, then it'd be "scumbag".

You're absolutely right.

With so many different angles at which to dislike one person, it's easy to get confused with which descriptor to assign to them at any given moment.

They fucked up by deregulating... and when shit started hitting the fan? MORE DEREGULATION

insanity.

Can you defend your assertion with evidence? There are many people, including Nobel Prize winning economists who vehemently disagree with your assertion. There is an overwhelming body of evidence which unquestionably places significant blame on the Federal Reserve's actions in conjunction with the Community Reinvestment Act.

To put this in really clear terms, spending 2-5 trillion dollars to bail out corporations in order to save the economy is like sawing off your own leg and eating it in order to save yourself from starvation.

hey QM, Obama is a marxist but McCain is bailing out AIG because they abused the free market?

Oh yeah, i see your point.

^they are both Marxist.

^Marx would disagree with you.

^can you explain why?

Karl Marx got it right for once: "Crack-brained meddling by the authorities can aggravate an existing crisis."

I don't blame the free market, that's the Marxists' game, even though there exists 80+ years of soviet evidence that centralized government planning of whole economies remains the biggest failure ever tried.

I don't blame the free market for this, because fear and greed self-regulate it to an astonishing degree. It's naturally inept and corrupt government that created conditions for the free market to react in certain ways, typically for whatever cause du jour was in vogue at the time to buy votes.

Now these government buzzards claim only more government will supposedly solve the problems created by government in the first place. They are all like firefighters using napalm to put out flames.

I'm against Obama AND McCain and all these other bailout fks on this issue. At the time of this writing, no one is even sure the bailout would work.

Let the fking markets collapse and recover, or people will never learn.


As for being McCain's sole supporter (in order to defeat the Obamessiah) that's true, but only here on "liberalsift". Thanks for the ups.
