Sure...ok, dreamer. The only thing that I see happening is the tax breaks for corporations. Yeah, Exxon needs more tax breaks and subsidies as an incentive to "find" oil. Like making a profit isn't an incentive enough. I'm sure beer distributors will get a nice tax break. Nothing like enriching your own pockets as this current administration has done. Well at least we'll only have 96 more years to go in Iraq after his first term. Something to look forward to. Same junk politics and policies that don't work for real people.

McCain had better be VERY SPECIFIC about any tax breaks he wants to give corporations. These corporations should have to meet certain guidelines: No exorbitant pay for corporate officers, no outsourcing of higher paid jobs to foreign nationals, no windfall profits being made (such as by Exxon).
_______________________________________
If McCain wants to lose the support of working people who believe Obama is too far left, all he has to do is start pandering to corporations as we've seen done for the past eight years.

This guy is dreaming.... sadly for us, it is a real nightmare. OBAMA!

The fact is that Barack is defeating Hillary becuase of the support of the radical left and because Barack is one of them.
Hillary is our only choice as moderates.
The second choice is McCain, not radical Barack.

If the democratic superdelegates are foolish enough to choose Brarck we will vote for McCain and wait 4 years to vote for a decent democrat, Hillary or someone else. We will not not accept a candidate like Barack who is too leftist and the more we learn about him the more scared we are.

From McCain record in the senate it could be argued that his views are very different from Busch/Cheney, that he is more of a centrist, perhaps with a high variance but a small mean. I would place him in the midle point between Busch and Hillary and I would place Brack in the far left Oposite to Busch.
Busch====McCain====Hillary====Barack

For moderates the choices are clear Hillary or McCain, for radicals the choice is clear too: Barack

Can we throw all three of these clowns out and get a real presidential candidate?

The political class of the democratic party has decided that their pockets could be hurt and that Barck is sinking and they want to save the ship with foolish endorsments like the idiot Eduards that cant get more than 3 votes. What they dont know is that people like me who suported the democrats but who dont have radical views are not going to vote for Barack ever. Never and ever and ever. So think careful about this superdelegates (superdelegate = corrupt politician that overturns popular votes for self interest).
You may think you are helping your pocket by choosing Barack over Hillary but think well because we will ruin you out of office.In the political map Barack is too far to the left

Busch=========McCain===Hillary========Barack

So if you choose Barack be prepared about large defections to the republican party. Hillary will win the popular vote when all votes are counted!! Hillary is our nominee, not "Brack the Usurper".

All this negativity... Obama is the real deal. Why do you think so many people have funded his campaign, average people giving 10 or 20 dollars. Most candidates get most of their money only from very large donors. Smart people can see this man is sincere and will put this country back on track and begin to clean up the mess of the whole bush-league. Obama 2008!

dennis... what did bush & cheney rate? maybe 99, and everyone with a brain can see where they took us. These so called conservatives are only looking out for themselves and the very wealthy. Obama 2008!!

s4bo:

You are wrong, Barack = 5 , Hillary=40
McCain= 60 , Busch= 95. This is why.

1. Barck was ranked the most liberal in congress.

2. His support base in Chicago is extremist.

3. Barack is not been honest. When the cameras are off (like in SF) he says very radical things. When the cameras are on he pretends he is moderate. He is just another politician. That's why the radicals support him.

DennisNC:

Yes we supported him until we found out who he realy was.

The negativity is about the people choice been subverted by the radiucals.
ONE PERSON ONE VOTE. COUNT THE VOTES.
Hillary president.

DennisNC:
You are another radical crook that is stealing the election. Go to hell!!

DennisNC:

Explain to me why your candidate Barack sabotaged the revote of Florida and Michigan?

Because his is a demagogue and he cares just about wining and not about democracy. He is a total liard, another crooked politician worried about himself.

GWP:

I agree that McCain is not the ideal candidate, I would prefer if Hillary was ranning as the democratic candidate.
I would even vote for her as a 3rd party candidate.
But this Barack is looking relay bad. Look at all his associations, look at the tactics they used at the Caucuses to win this election. This is Chicago politics at his worse. The fact is we will never find out who this Barck guy is. It is all show, bull. He seems to change his views depending on the audience and the cameras. If the litle we know today was known a few months ago he would not be the nominee.
The fact is that if Barack is the nominee we are been left out without any good choices. I will either vote for McCain or stay home.

Again, what does McCain talk about? The Iraq war won. He isn't listening to 60+% of the American public wanting out of that war. We are suffering big time here at home and he wants to continue a war where Iraqis are now earning windfall profits on their oil. Improvements on healthcare? I don't think so. He wants the free market to work. Insurance in this "free market" is unaffordable for millions of Americans. Without universal healthcare, millions more will be "on the streets" when it comes to McCain's healthcare plan

McCain and Lieberman were the honorary co-chairs back in 2002-2003 of the Committee to Liberate Iraq.

You want to blame Bush for this war.

Take a look at who has been the leader of this tight wing group who pushed it.

The man who ran this group with the two chairs...is now McCain's leading foreign policty adviser.

This is not made up...and no one knows this because of this stupid long primary.

Time to head to Florida dude..
try a little shuffle board or bingo...

McCain has missed his calling. He should open a fortune telling shop since he can see into the future and leave running our government to someone who cares about the American people. McCain just cares about the Bush policy and his own ego. Granted, he is a war hero but there are a lot of war heroes out there - some of the unfortunate ones dead because of Bush, and McCain is willing to carry on the ego-inflated GWB Iraqi war and make more "war heroes". I would vote for anyone but a republican at this point - they have morhphed into wide-stanced, child molesting, war mongers since GWB stole office.

A first McCain term would in reality be Bush III. Since Reagan, a GOP president has never been anything but the front-man for a shadow government executing on an agenda to transform the U.S. into an ultra-right-wing authoritarian police state, the government of which is above and beyond the law and to whom the Constitution is "only a god-damed piece of paper." They have so many people completely snowed. If we don't soundly trounce them at the polls in November, they WILL steal this election, too. The Democrats must win by a landslide in order to prevent this. Unfortunately, as we've seen in Hillary Clinton's behavior, the Democrats have been watching and learning. Who's to say that they, too, won't begin using shadow governments that only have the appearance of democracy.

We've won? Uh, Great; Now pull the freakin' troops out... after all the war IS a pork barrell project. Why can't our troops protect OUR borders, and spend their money back home???

John McCain needs to get over himself. I'm sick of hearing what a great big war hero he is. He is not the only war hero we have in this country. There are plenty - and unfortunately, some dead. That's all he has going for him. Just because he is a war hero (which was many, many years ago) doesn't mean he is capable of or has what it takes to be president. He is senator only because of his family standing and being a war hero. Get over yourself John and admit you don't have what it takes to lead America. Your 15 minutes of fame has been long over, let it go. You are not the man you once were - you used to be a political hero also - but now you have become just another bushboy.

McCain is a real piece o work alright. He knows that the most important thing about war is winning... well... at least the FEELING that we won. It really has NOTHING to do with the MORALITY of the thing. It has nothing to do with WHY WE STARTED THE INVASION, and it certainly has nothing to do with the shape it leaves our nation in nationally or internationally as a consequence. The longer I live in this nation, the more time I put in on researching our nations REAL HISTORY, the more shamed I am of how it is we got here.

Isn't it apparent to some of you that a whole bunch of people want Obama. Thats is why he is winning and favored over McCain. His candidacy has flourished financially because many many individuals have sent money ... not corporate interest. He has the support of many. That is born out as fact by the votes and the dollars.

McCain makes me sick. He is no diff.than Obama. Who could be so arrogant to believe that we humans who are a little spec of fly crap on the face of this universe could actually alter the climate. The socialist-enviro groups will have us living in mud-huts riding bikes while they live like Al Gore. Quit looking for the nanny government to take care of your problems , and run your own life. Hillary is starting to look like the most sensible one of the bunch. That is scary.

Another screw up on the straight talk express. What happened?? I thought there was another hundred years to go! Oh wait.. The American public doesnt like the war. Is that why your switching up Johnny Boy!

And you phycopaths say your going to vote for him. You bitter people who cling to guns and religion are pathetic!!

He forgot about the other dream of his: getting elected President. That's the one dream he should be worrying about.

TheRockofAges post of 9:26:55 is the only logical post of the morning. Al may be our only hope. .... Come on, if Obama supporters can be ridiculous then Rock and I can too.

Hey RW. If you are so ashamed to be from this country maybe you should consider leaving and making room for one of the tens of thousands who are willing to risk there lives to live in the greatest nation on earth. Wa Wa Wa.

I don't care if Bozo runs for president. No more Republican policies in the White House.

Ok! Another fantastic promise by the GOP!!! Tops all GOP promises since 2000!!!! YiHAYYY for GOP.. surely they are using us right... time and time again.. and why are we so wrong to have stopped listening?? Did USA get smart?

This man is so old he doesn't even know what he's saying half the time. It will be interesting to watch his brain disintegrate between now and November.

I do pity him, because he always wanted to be president, and the Bush people did a number on him, like they did to Kerry, in 2000.

But the future of my country is at stake, and we can't have a mean old warmongering clown in charge. Not again!!!

YOW!!! THE BIGGEST PANDERER OF ALL!!!!

Lower taxes on the rich... the middle class continue to be squeezed out of every penny.. and the poor be deprived of the services we have a social conscious to provide..... hmmm...all that's missing in this mix is the fear of destruction if we don't follow him to war and the cry of righteous values to damn the opponent.

How is John McCain going to accomplish in the same things that George Bush hasnt been able to do in 8 years? How is he going to increase the Marines and Army size (have a draft)? Its all talk and no real concrete plan. What he is saying doesnt directly help the citizens of the USA unless they are the chairman of Exxon. I agree messing with Federal Income tax is wrong. I wouldnt be opposed to abolishing it and getting the 1/3 of my paycheck though. I certainly dont want to pay a government set flat tax! Its already that way. Vote Ron Paul even if its a write in and maybe these 3 Stooges that the media is propping up will realize the majority of America doesnt want to vote for them and they want real change. At least we would know if the election is fixed if we all wrote in anybody but Hillary, Obama or McCain. Mr. McCain the middle east has been a war zone for thousands of years. How are we going to stop those countries from attacking each other ever? Shouldnt the welfare of the citizens on US soil come first? Instead of closing borders which are already supposed to be closed to illegal aliens why not set a limit on how many legal immigrants can come to the USA and steal jobs per year? Better yet start taxing companies who farm work to other countries like India?

I heard the speech would be entitled "The Impossible Dream".

LMAO @ Dan
I have noticed that theme for quite some time now...

"Thanks to the Liberals and the News Media, the Iraq war is already lost"

Wow, I never knew the Pentagon took its orders from the News Media. I always thought the SecDef, Joint Chiefs, and Pres were the ones at the top. What about the State Department? They are supposed to be handling the diplomatic side of reconstruction... I guess that means the News is in charge of them too.

So do they comand jointly or divide up the responsibilities? Like ABC controlls the military and CBS controlls the diplomats.

After watching Mccain I had no idea he would have so much to offer this Democrat for Mccain if Hillary doesn't win

So McCain says the war in Iraq will take another 4 years, making the whole mess last over 8 years? How many more American lives will that cost us? How many billions of dollars will it take? And in the meantime, he's going to reduce taxes again, claiming that it will "stimulate the economy?" Didn't Bush try that a few years ago, and look how "stimulated" our economy is now.

McCain has shown that he's capable of making the same bad choices as Bush.

In 2012 there will be a lot of people who will say that they supported Obama from the beginning. Like a lot of older folks who say they were inspired by M.L.K. in the 60's but actually were not until it became more socially acceptable.

Eduardo = paid Hillary/GOP blogger... or just dumb? hard to tell

Obama!!! 2008 -2012!!!!

I will vote for a candidate based on their intent to end the Iraq war, end the billions upon billions the US is spending, that is helping to wreck our economy, morale & relations with countries that used to be our allies. Maybe electing Obama will restore their trust in our actions again. We can't trust anything Bush, Cheney, & their cronies say about the consequences of withdrawal from Iraq. They have zero foresight. Absolute zero (-273?).

So if Obama is nominated (or Clinton, for that matter), I won't be turning tail & voting for McCain to continue the war/occupation for another 4 years. I voted for Kerry in '04 just to try to get an end to this war business that enriches contractors. I still think the country would be way better off if Kerry had been elected. Anything except another Republican who wants to continue the Bush/Cheney plan!

I watched some of Obama’s campaign speeches. He’s an old school politician. “Tell each group what they want to hear and promise them the moon if it will get their vote.” The things he promises he simply can’t deliver. The things he could deliver could only be done by increasing taxes on the middle and working classes. I keep waiting for someone to interrupt his promises with “HOW?” How are you going to deliver on these promises Senator? You can’t. Unfortunately the average American voter has a pre-school mentality and believes anything they are told. I plan to spend the next 4 years saying “I told you so.” .... BTW Senator, all of my guns were lost in a horrible boating accident just before the ‘Elite Only’ laws forbade normal people from owning guns, cars, motorcycles, boats, knives or anything else we aren’t smart enough to own. (Read that ‘Rich enough to pay extra tax to own’) The elite can have things, but not the rest of us.

Based on his past record, McCain's speech today feels like a reaction to Bush's basement poll numbers. Because I did not believe we were justified in invading Iraq in the first place, McCain's pledge to continue the fight four more years doesn't work for me, and the Republican's tight connections with the religious right puts the nail in that coffin.

I would have preferred a president that was less testosterone-laden, but Obama's evenhanded demeanor in the primaries has greatly impressed me. He comes across as someone that will think through an issue before pressing the war button and I think that's what we need in order to repair the damage done by the past eight years. His message of change appeals to me since what we are doing now isn't working.

Old white guys just haven't cut it as president lately and I will be voting for whatever alternative presents itself, and the polls indicate that this is the majority viewpoint. Time for some young democratic blood to tip the country's scales back into balance.

Origood:
You assume that because my name is eduardo that I come from the south. But I dont, I am a hispanic american but was never south of the border. You pretend to be a liberal but you are a racist pig, like many Obama supporters. Blacks vote 93% for Obama, only Lou Dobbs, Rush and other racists pigs get 93%.
For hispanics Obama is worse than Bush.

Welcome to Fantasy Island! This guy is clearly delusional. Hard to believe so many people still buy into this Republican dream world.

Some of McCain's predictions on how the invasion would go:

I think the victory will be rapid, within about three weeks."
John McCain, January 28, 2003.

"It's clear that the end is very much in sight...It won't be long. It, it'll be a fairly short period of time."
John McCain, April 9, 2003.

"Well, then why was there a banner that said mission accomplished on the aircraft carrier?"
John McCain, responding to assertion by Fox News' Neil Cavuto that "many argue the conflict isn't over," June 11, 2003.

"I have said a long time that reconstruction of Iraq would be a long, long, difficult process, but the conflict -- the major conflict is over, the regime change has been accomplished, and it's very appropriate."
John McCain, June 11, 2003.

"I'm confident we're on the right course."
John McCain, March 7, 2004.

"We're either going to lose this thing or win this thing within the next several months."
John McCain, November 12, 2006.

"My friends, the war will be over soon, the war for all intents and purposes although the insurgency will go on for years and years and years."
John McCain, February 25, 2008.
