Bush has to be quiet, otherwise he endangers the McCon-Pullin’ fictional narrative. Repugnicants will put all their nefarious energy into maintaining the fabricated Maverick/Reformer label.

The International Herald Tribune nailed McCon with their headline.

McCain on U.S. economy: from ’strong’ to ‘total crisis’ in 36 hours

sick of lies,

You haven’t earned the right to call yourself a Democrat. But I understand your desire to to be one because you are so ashamed of really being a scumbag Repug.

But like all good Repugs, lying becomes such a second-nature trait.

Just curious.

I wonder how much Cindy McSpin’s personal fortune has shrunk in the last few days? And I wonder what she thinks of Flippy’s plans to “fix it”?

Just another little demonstration of the “culture of contempt” (for American citizens, oversight, law etc.) of Bushco.

BTW. I think Dimbat found a name for her upcoming FAUX “News” show. “I’m not gonna answer that”!

A mixed picture with house sales up in some parts of the country, huh?

I’m sure there are speculators out buying the foreclosed properties, sure. Does that help the situation? Not really.

sick of lies eh? What a waste of a good moniker! Because apparently this troll likes his lies just fine! Probably eats them up like candy and then wonders why he feels sick afterwards.

Oh Ralph, you’re such the cynic. Sick of Lies reads so full of sincerity…

Forgive my cynicism, dbadass. I guess the trolls have been so scarce lately, and so lame when they have shown up, that when “Sick of Lies” posts inane stuff that sounds identical in style and content to other fake-progressive sock-puppets we’ve busted, my eyes got big and wanted to play a few rounds of Whack-A-Troll™.

You’re probably right. “Sick of Lies” surely is very, very sincere. Let’s sit back and let him prove it, shall we?

Sick of Lies? Your ball. Take it out at the foul line.

Sorry to be OT here guys, but I need some help. Over at TMP Josh Marshall says this: “Meanwhile, the claim that the Obama camp has ‘tainted’ the trooper-gate investigation is truly risible.”

Straw-man BS. It’s not going to work anymore.

mk3872 Says:

TP and all: Watch out, because McCain & Palin are trying switch & bait on this by back-peddling and rewriting their words. The claim is now that by “fundamentals” he meant “workers”!!

Even so, the immediate counterpoint to this is, if the fundamentals (workers) of our economy are so strong then why has unemployment continued to rise? Why have wages been stagnant? Etc. etc. etc.

They can’t spin this one without sounding even dumber than before.

It’s all good, Obama is back up over McCain! This is due to the Financial Collapse. If this continues we’ll win by blowout! Lets hope for more firms collapsing.

backup Says:

Okay, Perino won’t bite. That’s apparently a story. The story is, she’s bright enough not to say ‘yes, the fundamentals are strong’. Because, instead of this post, you’d have a picture of McCain hugging W, and another McSame story.

Nice try

So what exactly is YOUR point backup? The story is more her EVASIVENESS when posed with a DIRECT question.

Do you believe the fundamentals of the economy are strong?

Does the Bush Administration?

If they do not, why not come out and answer the question directly and provide the ways they plan to help alleviate the situation.

If they DO believe the fundamentals of the economy are strong, then they should explain why that is so.

How come you are so partisan that you can’t even flinch in your support for people that are evasive and dishonest about the the very same things they should be forthright about?

McCain: …” going to put an end to the reckless conduct, corruption, and unbridled greed that have caused a crisis on Wall Street.”
There should be one of those scrolls down below giving the proviso that McCain has 83 former financial industry lobbyists working for him.
