 This Maverick nomer of McCain&#039;s.

 Not voting doesn&#039;t count!!</description>

		<description>Like I thought when I originally heard these.

 Who is McCain talking about when he says, &quot;WE&quot; are better off?

 How did, and who actually benefited from Bush&#039;s Tax cuts?

 If McCain wants to privatize Social Security and we the people want it. Why does McCain want to be our President and go against Americans?</description>

IMO that’s not a maverick. That’s a simple con artist. A master of the bait and switch. A bald face liar who would sell his children for fun and profit.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, McCain didn&#039;t &lt;em&gt;sell&lt;/em&gt; his children. He &lt;em&gt;deserted&lt;/em&gt; his children (and his disabled wife) for fun and profit.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;In April, McCain also said that under the Bush administration, “you could make an argument that there’s been great progress economically over that period of time.”&lt;/em&gt;

Well, there has been.

&lt;em&gt;According to tax filings released today, McCain’s net worth rose by $18 million since 1999.&lt;/em&gt;

See, he wasn&#039;t lying.</description>

Are you talking about McCain or Obama?

During his last run for the presidency, in 1999, McCain supported the drilling moratorium, and he scolded the “special interests in Washington” that sought offshore drilling leases. Yesterday, he announced that those very same “moratoria should be lifted” and proposed incentives for the states “in the form of tangible financial rewards, if the states decide to lift those moratoriums.”
In 2000, McCain promised to “never lose sight” of fundamental principles on the issue.

		<description>Meanwhile, the entire Hilton family have each maxed out at $2,300 each for McCain on a private level.

Their reward? McCan&#039;t uses their daughter as a symbol of a blond bimbo with subliminal implications that a Black man likes White women.

Nice.

Yes, the Hilton&#039;s are pissed. I can&#039;t blame them.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;obamagr8 Says:
Sure, Ralph. Joe Oil Executive donates $2,000 to Obama and Mrs. Oil Executive donates $2,000 OF HER OWN MONEY to Obama and they aren’t related at all.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Clearly, you suffer from the same kind of reading comprehension deficit as most of your comrades. I even highlighted &lt;strong&gt;employees and their spouses&lt;/strong&gt; so you&#039;d be sure to get it. Perhaps I should not have highlighted &quot;spouses&quot; as that obviously threw you off.

Point bring, obi8, &quot;employee&quot; is much, much different than &quot;executive&quot;.

An oil company employee is likely to be a union member. Likely to be blue-collar.

Yet your McCain spokesman, by treating them the same as &quot;executives&quot; gets to imply that Obama is almost as dirty with oil money as McCain.

Never mind that McCain is the one whose oil industry contributions shot up after he came out for the policy that oil companies favor -- i. e., giving oil companies more leases to control, and in protected areas -- and Obama&#039;s policies generally favor consumers rather than oil companies. Never mind that.</description>
