amnesty

he did not answer the question one man asked about his quest for amnesty for illegals. he totally avoided it.

McCain's comments on Ron Paul

A caller asked if he thought Ron Paul was crazy. He grudgingly admitted that Ron Paul is smart but he believes his (Ron Paul's) views are 'not shared by the majority of the American people'.

Why didn't I think of this sooner

He needs to be asked the question put to RP.

Since you have no chance of winning, who do you endorse?

my tummy hurts

Why do the geriatric and children get to ask him lots of questions? This was such an uninformative session. I need to get my Tums. I truly feel sorry for anyone who thinks being American means blind patriotism, that we must support our wars and assume our technology and medicine is the best in the world.

0% interest rate

Ask him why he wants a 0% interest rate, as he said in the latest TV-debate. How could I safely save money for my retirement when interest rates are 0%? And wouldn't that require a credit expansion which causes high inflation?

He obviously doesn't know the first thing about economy, so that's where to squeeze him. Seniors are probably a bit wary about inflation and think that interest rates are good for money savings.

John McCain's non-answers

I just tuned in and a lady asked what he was going to do about our tax dollars going to weapons for the insurgents because of the corrupt Iraqi government. He spoke a lot of words without answering and ended with something like 'I feel your pain'.
Then about taxes he asked for anyone who understands the current tax code to raise their hand. His plan is to form a commission headed by Alan Greenspan or someone like him to figure things out.

Yes Live Calls

Live calls are to be taken for 30 min. after his speech.

Oddly enough. No live

Oddly enough. No live calls.
Only those who've bothered / been invited can ask q's.

Edit:
He's taking questions now from the audience. I thought this was the 'official q time' and he had finished his speech. My bad.

Endorsment question

"Senator McCain, When you inevitably drop out of the race, will you be endorsing Ron Paul?"

LOL

Haha, he just said - "Whenever a foreign rich person gets sick, they come to America to get better." Wow, wow...

Now he's banging on about support the troops... "If you don't support the mission, you don't support the troops" "BLAH BLAH, anbah province BLAH, the surge is succeeding."

Wow rhetoric is flowing now...

Support the troops by supporting who they endorse. That'd be Ron Paul. Why? He's gonna pull them out asap.

Question for McCain

If suppressing the civil war in Iraq is going to cost America another 1,000 lives, is it worth it?

HonorGod's picture

Why? I respect him for his

Why? I respect him for his war service... I dont respect him for all other reasons... Blahh Blahh Blahhh... Climate change... Blah Blahh Blahhh.. He is 3rd tier.. he wont do anything.... Window closed.. Next

Bring up the war or economy

If you want to bring up Ron Paul, draw up a question for McCain to distinguish his own view from that of Ron's. Why does McCain want to see the war in Iraq to the end? What evidence does he use to suggest things are improving there? What would he do to fix our debt? Are there any departments he would cut back in funding? Or ask if he thinks eliminating the Federal Reserve as Ron Paul suggests is feasible or attractive to him. Let's show class to C-Span and the fellow candidates so that they continue to take calls from Ron Paul supporters.

What a crowd

Looks like he bussed in residents from a Senior Home. LOL
He will be taking questions on C-Span after his speech. I'm going to try to call in and ask him where he plans to get the 10B a month to continue the war.

NO, changed my mind. Going to ask why he joined with the Democrats to provide amnesty to illegals when he knew that 70% of citizens did not want amnesty given to the invaders.

Here right?
