McCain opens up on Fanny/Freddy

McCain opens up and a blizzard of lies pours forth.

That's the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Too bad the conservatives don't "get it." It's called simply "diversion." They can't talk about the most important issue of our day; the economy.

“Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms that I know. I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician,” McCain said to cheers, noting that when one asks questions about Obama’s record, “all you get in response is another angry barrage of insults.”

“My opponent’s touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who’s already authored two memoirs, he’s not exactly an open book. It’s as if somehow the usual rules don’t apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that. Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there’s always a back story with Senator Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government?” McCain asked as a number of supporters shouted “nothing!”

Attendees often responded to McCain’s rhetorical questions with answers and sometimes even insults like “criminal” and even “terrorist” when he asked “who the real Barack Obama” was.

The GOP nominee also attempted to raise questions about Obama’s economic record.

“Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” he said. “Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, ‘a good idea’ … to hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. Nothing, zero, zippo, nada.”

The Obama campaign called the speech an “angry tirade.”

Truth hurts.

We've got 30 days to explain this one to the American people; the good news is that truth is on our side, that always helps.

Hopefully, we will see some "active discussions" on this issue tonight and expose Obama for the fraud he really is.

The problem with McCain's charges against Obama is simply that Obama was not in the Senate but for two years. This "crisis" began way before then. All one needs to do is look back to 2003 when even Bush saw the problems with Mae and Mac. Since it was a "republican" congress, you can't very well blame Clinton or Obama for this debacle.

Please, you bunch couldn't 'explain' your way out of a paper bag, let alone spread a bunch of lies about Obama and the Dems, and get people to believe them. Who do you think you are kidding?

Why do you refuse to speak to the issue? You are an apologist and will back whoever the Dummycrats tell you to back.

Back to the rest of your stinkin herd for you!

Which issue would that be, exactly?

McCain is looking to change the subject away from the economy by smearing Obama. He knows that he can't win on his own merits in this environment, and that his only hope is to try and scare folks about Obama. That's why he has his lap dog Palin out there making statements about his associations, and whipping the crowd up into shouts of 'kill him!' and 'nigger!' and 'traitor!' at their events.

The inner bigot is coming out in the McCain supporters these days. No, not everyone; but the dirt being smeared by McCain is encouraging it. These pathetic attempts to blame the Dems and Obama for the financial crisis are not working. In no poll has Obama's support on the economy issue dropped versus McCain... It's just desperation.

On his part, and yours.

It is not desperation to show how Obama did not support certain legislation relative to regulating Fannie/Freddie.

Both candidates need to address their records and explain their rational.

I agree, both candidates need to address their record. But McCain is terrified of actually doing this, as there are few in the Senate who voted against tighter financial regulations with as much regularity as McCain himself. So you will not see McCain actually doing this. Instead, he's just going to try and play up the 'Obama is a scary black guy who pals around with 'terrorists.'' meme as much as possible.

McCain the de-regulator (too much evidence here) and voting record (it just will not go away) can't very well convince anybody but conservatives what he says about the current crisis.

Woiyo9-Cyclo will not give you chapter and verse on how Senator McCain did not support more regulation. Because it doesn't exist. It is clear that OBAMA is the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR in the SENATE.

Quote--"Senator Obama was the most LIBERAL SENATOR in 2oo7, according to the National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent political candidate shifted FURTHER TO THE LEFT LAST YEAR in the run up to the primaries, after finishing as the 16th and 10th most LIBERAL DURING HIS FIRST TWO YEARS IN THE SENATE.

National Journal, January 31, 2008.

Notice Woiyo9--Cyclops just blah blahs--Gives no evidence.

Maybe if you actually looked at the 20 year history of what actually caused the current mess, you might have a different point of view.

To expect an objective and thoughtful response from the left is now an impossibility,.

In other words, McCain made it possible for demoKKKrats to rape, loot, and pillage the entire financial structure of the nation as they have?

Nonetheless when somebody like McCain outlaws or bans that sort of behavior liberals run around screaming that he's committing ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Take Slobodan Milosevic for example who outlawed and banned pretty much every facet of Albanian culture (rape, murder, drug dealing, human trafficking, poisoning wells, grand theft auto etc. etc. etc.). SlicKKK KKKlintler bombed Serbia for 80 days and night including Easter Sunday for that while the MSM trash media was full of what assholes the Serbs were from front cover to back cover.

How is McCain supposed to win something like that??
