That makes perfect sense, cut taxes and reduce spending. It's not like we've got a war on or anything.

Oh.

For every flip, there's a flop.

Wait, what?

I see that waffles come with the pancakes too

I see in a rush to put up funny McCain ha-has that nobody apparently RTFA. It's not exactly charitable to Barack of Nazareth, either. But, hey, the headline gimmick was funny.

So let me get this straight...McCain recognizes that the economy has weakened, and so he has changed his old position advocating increased defense spending to allow a tax cut to spur business growth. What's the problem? Economic conditions change, and I'd sure hope that our next leader has the ability to look at the present circumstances and make decisions based upon the facts at hand.

It's not like McCain "voted for the war, before he voted against it" or has changed his position on abortion. When he sees that something works, he's willing to change his position. Same thing with him initially voting against the Bush tax cuts. He saw that they were working, so he voted to extend them. ZOMG!

well the headline had nothing to do with obama, and you are so far the only person in the thread to mention him (besides me in this post, responding to yours).

I feel like I have been here before, except I'm quite sure I haven't.

Somehow I can't shake the feeling that this has all happened before...

/nor my hunger for PANCAKES

I think you're seeing things

Genius. Props to the admins for this.

Heh.

I'm going with they're both true. More wars mean more military money, but at the same time spending cuts in reducing benefits to military personal. Because that's McBush's idea of conservative spending.

If you're truly an independent that hates both candidates equally and won't be voting for either one...I'll eat my hat.

lol props

PANCAKES!

FTFA....

McCain's top economic adviser, Doug Holtz-Eakin, blithely supposes that cuts in defense spending could make up for reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% and the subsequent shrinkage in federal revenues.

So reading comprehension lesson of the day....

Doug Hotlz-Eakin != McCain.

Blithely Supposes != supports

C'mon smitty, you can do better. Just put pancakes in an article and you can get a greenlight. Damn.

that will free up more money for the dehydrated babies.

good job²

McCain will cut the Defense budget...
Right after he drops the nukes!

Well played admins, well played.

After he blows up all the countries he wants to blow up, then he will cut the defense budget.

See? Its easy to explain

This(^) is just a sample of what John McCain will do with the defense budget.

/Support our troops?
//Not if you're John McCain.

I am so confused!

ollin: I am so confused!

Now you know what it's like to be in his shoes.

Yay for small excerpt summaries of bills. Don't know about the others, but as for the last one on your little chart McCain has repeatedly explained that he was supporting his competing bill which included more benefits based on how long of service you paid to the military.

Uh...

What were the first four words in your quote there?

So you're saying he's not going to listen to his top economic adviser on the economy, when McCain has admitted that he knows very little about the economy himself?

THAT'S not very reassuring.

I saw this from an ad on Haaretz

Did you not see the second point? No where in the article does it state "support for cutting the defense budget". It clearly states in so little words... "I guess one COULD cut the budget to offset tax breaks". This is not the same as "McCain SUPPORTS cuts to the defense budget."

So yes, my first point holds true as the economic adviser was speculating at best, not reciting McCain's stance on the issue.

Also.... Candidates have advisers to give them an opinion. I would much prefer a president who surrounds himself with people of differing opinions than simple "Yes" men. So no I would not expect McCain to be in lock step with his adviser.

So what's not reassuring about what now?

THey're working so good we're in a recession!

Listen, Spanky, running your new credit card up to the max doesn't equal "I just got a lot of cash."

This is win in it's pure, refined state. Highly valuable.

I love doublegreenies

Asked whether he is a Mac or PC person, McCain answered:
"Neither, I'm an illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance I can get."

Keep believing the lies, folks.

/America: we get what we deserve

What is sad is that the article is a fair depiction of the dilemma that faces US in the fall. The headline is only inviting to those who want to slam Mcain. What is lost is the big picture of how candidates are in a position to have to say only what people want to hear without offending anyone and without having any substance behind it. Either way you look at it, the people are losers in the fall. Whichever candidate wins, almost half of the country is going to feel marginalized.

Why, yes, that is how pancakes are made. Why do you ask?

Comedy genius in these threads folks. Lovin' it.
