Just Curious..

Does anyone still incorrectly think that Barack Obama will be raising their taxes anymore?  I feel like I’ve been told every day exactly what his plan is, as well as in both debates so far, but John McCain still uses that argument everywhere he goes.. even when talking about job creation.

I don’t know about everyone else.  In my opinion, anytime I hear John McCain throw in lies about taxes, I feel that I can’t believe the rest of his argument.

One of the best posts I have read so far on the current economic crisis is “Three Times is Enemy Action” by Devilstower.

Does anyone else think that maybe now we could really (desperately?) use that $10 billion dollars a month being spent on some wars with no clear, specific end-game?

Joe Biden Reacts to John McCain

h/t Crooks and Liars for the following quote

“John McCain has confessed, and I quote – I want to make sure I get it right – he said, it’s easy for me to be in Washington and frankly be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have. Well, he’s right. He’s right. If all you do is walk the halls of power, all you’ll hear is the wants of the powerful. Ladies and gentleman, I believe that’s why John McCain could say with a straight face as recently as this morning, and this is a quote, the fundamentals of the economy are strong. That’s what John said. He says that we’ve made great progress economically, in the Bush years. Ladies and gentlemen, I could walk from here to Lansing, and I wouldn’t run into a single person who thought our economy was doing well, unless I ran into John McCain.”
