Cavuto rips McCain: ‘On economic matters, you have no convictions.’

Yesterday on Fox News Business, Neil Cavuto dressed down Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his constantly shifting economic policy proposals. Cavuto complained that McCain’s “positions are always changing” and asked, “What’s the deal with the Straight Talk Express?”:

You rail against big government, yet continue to push cockamamie spending plans that make a mockery of it. That’s why you’re losing right now, Senator McCain. Not because you don’t have the courage of your convictions. But because on economic matters, you have no convictions.

Watch it:

    – - Forgetting possibly losing the state of Arizona, John. You’ve lost Fox News.

    overheard on the trail:

    “Um, Mr. McCain, is this a bad thing?”

    “Shut the F*$k up, Joe!”

    “Both of you!!”


  3. Arctic Ghetto says:

    Neil Cavuto, McCain is losing because of a disastrous 8 years of policy decisions by the Bush administration whom you supported at every foul turn.


  4. Nevar says:

    Cavuto begins his frenzied attempt to escape the sucking whirlpool of the right wing’s demise.


  5. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Okay, I had to watch that twice just to make sure that was Neil Cavuto saying that. Wow.



  6. Gregor Samsa says:

    Obviously, these reichwingers are angry that their man is losing the presidential race.

    Did they really expect a different result, after 8 years of Bush’s disaster capitalism?

    Cavuto will be shipped to Gitmo in the morning.

    You don’t seem to get it, do you, bubble head? Wall Street, the Telecoms, Coal, Israel, and the Military DO NOT want McCain in there. They want Obama. Just look at the voting records and not your guts, but that may be too much to ask for a logical point of view. Cavuto was a Bush whore throughout the last 8 years, but sees the writing on the wall.

    Fox confuses me again.

    Just announced on San Diego’s ch.7: judging by registration, the county is on track to flip from red to blue in a few days, the first time in 26 years that the dems have had a majority of registered voters.

    Thank you, George Bush and John McCain!

    If McCain has even lost that preppy, dorky, whiny, smarmy little bag of hot air, what’s he got left?

    Oh yeah, Joe Lieberman.

    Rupert’s not gonna like that. I hope Neil’s insurance is paid up and he can spare a few sheckles for bodyguards. Or perhaps he’s hoping that Bible Spice’s SS detachment is looking for work?

    #16-Thanks for the Halloween scare.

    Even Faux News is turning on McCain. McCain must really be in trouble

    Having no convictions would be a step forward for a Republican.

    WHEN I FIRST READ IT……I WAS LIKE: NAWWWWWW….CAVUTO WOULDN’T HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY THAT TO MKKKAIN’S FACE.

    I WAS RIGHT


  18. spense says:

    Cavuto is a pompous, economically illiterate, nitwit. Unfortunately for McCain, this is a key constituency of his party.


  19. drago says:

    Straight Talk Express is a myth.

    Lies, lies, lies are the only thing that come out of the McCain Propaganda Ministry.

    Goebbels would be very proud.

    Republican right wing freak gw bush has created the biggest government and debt in history.

    Now the right wing freaks want to act as if this huge government and debt are the Democrats fault?

    If anyone false for this sh*t you must be one sick fool!

    McCain on screw-up one he got Sarah Palin after talking to her about an hour in his life, then she grabbed the wheel and McCain with no resistance let her veer over toward the ‘rabbit hole’ on the right and now they are lost, somewhere between the Crusades and The Third Reich.

    Everyone now is running for cover and trying to blame everyone else, they must conceal some of their radicalism if they are ever to win any election and one more thing, he can’t win with only the base, question is Rove helping him out? That is what it sounds like to me.

    The Titanic is teetering and the rats are scurrying when Cavuto runs that means the other rats will be looking for an iceberg to swim to also.

    Cavuto is such a tool…

    There goes the other wing…


  24. Game of Life says:

    Oh finally repugs are being called out on their total bs.

    We needed this kind of commonsense talk a long time ago.

    I still think he’s fake as tweedy. they have this bs gene that they don’t want to shake. he will get horseshit crazy tomorrow.


  25. Robt says:

    Cavuto needs to realize and admit as Alan Greenspan has . That his ideology is flawed and failed. It was never to enhance America but only to feed greed and enable those to disregard our laws. That some men are created more equal than others.


  26. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    it’s pretty damn bad when faux upbraids a waaahhhpublican


  27. bagdude says:

    Cavuto acusing someone of having no convictions? Bwahahahahaha

    The McCain camp is already saying that the race may be “too close to call”…
    My question is if they ask for a recount, what will they count? There is no paper trail in so many counties due to the hacked Diebold and ES&S voting machines! Why is it that when I buy gas, groceries, or go to the ATM, I get a detailed receipt. But when I vote, the machine offers me no receipt detailing how I voted?

    Yahoo user “Noodle” writes:?BERKELEY COUNTY, WV – Early voters have been casting their ballots across West Virginia, but there have already been some glitches in the system.
    Officials say more than 3,000 people have already voted in Berkeley County alone. Out of that number, about five or six people have made complaints that their vote wasn’t coming up right.
    Margaret Johnson, an early voter, said, “I voted for Barack Obama and it came up John McCain. Then I asked the lady to come over and help me and watch me vote, and the same thing happened again.”
    When will our voting system be secure and fair?
