According to Sam Stein:
At a recent meeting with the Wall Street Journal editorial board, Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted he “doesn’t really understand economics” and then pointed to his adviser and former Senate colleague, Phil Gramm - whom he had brought with him to the meeting - as the expert he turns to on the subject, The Huffington Post has learned.
Oh boy.
About Phil Gramm, courtesy of the late, much mourned Molly Ivins:
When he ran for president in 1996 and finished fifth in Iowa, all the profiles written of him included the line “Even his friends don’t like him.” Self-righteous and strident, Gramm demonized his opponents and used bitter, polarizing rhetoric. During a Senate debate over Social Security, a member pointed out that the proposal under consideration would hurt 80-year-old retirees. “Most people don’t have the luxury of living to be 80 years old,” Gramm scoffed, “so it’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.” Well, there is that.

Sen McCain Doesn't Understand Liberty Either
McCain, in one of the debates, had the audacity to tell Dr. Paul to read Wealth of Nations.

Mclaim is a NIMROD!
If it's not on a cue card. Or he hasn't said it 1,000.00 times. He can't respond to a question. Have you really ever watched this jerk? He is so boring to listen to. His one liner condemning the Montana bear research as something he considered as tax dollar wasted, pork project. Is so old. He is a porker himself!
If he admits he knows nothing about the economy. What the hell is he running for? He is a neocon, cfr, NWO, jackass!

There is life at the end of the tunnel my friends!

He doesn't understand integrity, principles, morals, or honesty either, but we already knew that now didn't we....

Good thing Ron Paul has a Plan!
Can't wait to read his Economic Revitalization Plan! Go Ron Go!!!
"I don't understand
"I don't understand economics." ~John McCain
And all this time, I never thought I would agree with him on anything...
McCain Economics
Why would he have to know anything about economics when he would just let the Federal Reserve deal with all of the details as usual as I don't recall him mentioning having any concerns with them at all.
I was thinking . . .
God knows we get enough crap on this site pushing other candidates down our throats and trying to knock our Man down, couldn't we start posting stuff like this post on their sites?
If we posted the main post from here on McCain's blog sites and then stirred up a debate on the US economy, do you think they'd see what a loser he really is? There's got to be a way.
All of the other candidates lie. There are numerous incidences out there on the net. Couldn't we post links to the lies and also links to articles that show the truth and show these people what kind of candidate they support?
I'm thinking we should fight fire with fire, except our fire will be the flame of truth.
Go Ron Paul!!!

Maybe we should fight fire with fire, except we'll just point out the truth behind their candidate.
Woops
Sorry for the double-post.

Okay everybody breathe deep.
Okay everybody breathe deep. In with the good air out with the bad. Now close your eyes and think of John McCain. Hold the image in your mind and continue to breathe. Now all at once everybody at one time with me think, brain aneurysm... brain aneurysm... brain aneurysm...
Actually McCain is pretty slick...

I like that. That should be plastered all
over cyber-space and quickly.
Here's the link to McCain's economics ignorance
http://www.huffingtonpost...
If anyone doubts the truth of McCain needing help to discuss economics with the WSJ editorial board, consider that he was on television a couple of night ago with a thirtysomething woman to help him on the same subject. I don't recall the channel or program, but she was attractive, looked a little familiar, and made him look ignorant by the mere fact that she had to be there. (If anyone here saw the show and can ID her, please post!)

Here's another great Kodak moment of John "the military loves me" McCain.

Go John, go...
Most everyone in Arizona knows that McCain's.......
Most of the people who have lived in Arizona for any length of time know that McCain's Father-In-Law is a member of Mafia, living I believe in New Jersy. And, my friends thats the driving force behind McCain's long time push to become President.
He dumped his first wife after she supported and was loyal to him all of those years during the Vietnam war. She had worked very hard most everyday for years trying to build support for those servicemen that were imprisoned in North Vietnam. Most believe that this second marriage was promoted and set-up by the Mafia for their own political gain.
As a fellow Disabled Vietnam Veteran myself, what bothers me is that the press is fully aware of John McCains history of mental problems but are all sitting on the story and won't release the truth. For God sakes this man could end up President of the United States and worse of all Commander in Chief of the Military. To give you an idea of his mental state of mind, there is a video clip that was shot about a month of him speaking to supports and when asked about what he would do in regards to Iran he immediately changed the words to the song "La Bamba" to lets "bomb bomb bomb, bomb Iran" and sang over and over to the crowd. This is the same "Doctor Strangelove" candidate that wants our troops in Iraq for up to 100 years if needed (to of course safe guard the oil wells and pipe lines for the oil companies at tax payers expense).
The Song He Changed Was "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys.
You know, the part where it goes "Ba ba ba ba barbara ann." But he sings so bad that it's hard to tell.
Not only that, he can't remember if he's in Mexico or Michigan (Michigan concession speech).
And, he stated that he wanted to take away Vets' Social Security (I think that faux pas was in South Carolina), then corrected himself.
Every time he talks he screws up. I don't want him representing our nation to the world.
Go Ron Paul!
Thanks
Thanks for clearing that up, Barbara Ann was always one of my favorites until now. His singing was so bad that I really couldn't tell what song it was. I guess that I was more focused on the words that he chose to substituted in and his underlaying reason for doing so. Could almost imagine him singing that same song one day in the oval office of the White house and telling his Generals, "to go ahead, make my day turn Iran into a sheet of glass. Yea, that will make the Neacons happy".
Boy oh boy, if that thought doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up I don't what else would.

In a C-Span interview not to long ago, this intelectual giant said that we needed to reduce interest rates to 0%.
Clueless.
My Friends, lets have some real straight talk.. wink wink.

McCain is NOT AN AMERICAN HERO...
he has betrayed his fellow POW's in the past, in the present, and he will in the future. Look at the youtube link below...see what REAL POW's think about him. He is a traitor, and more, he is an obtuse politician whose time has come to go home to pasture. Why would he OR Kerry fight against the "accountability" bill they fought to stop from being passed? If they had a reason, why not share it with us? McCain is an opportunist. McCain is a member of the CFR. Should I go on?
If he were the American Patriot he claims to be
He'd have never entered the race at all and supported Dr. Paul. But we all know that didn't happen.
So, lets get this straight...he doesn't understand economics, can't figure out which country President Putin is the president of, and thinks we ought to be in Iraq for at least the next 100 years. Yeah, he's a winner alright...
bummer, the economy is THE issue!
McCain is just SOL. He was counting on the war making him President and people are more concerned with the economy now!
We need to exploit his ignorance of the subject! Hope Ron Paul p0wnz him in the debates. How can you lead when you're clueless??! Voters need to know his strengths AND weakness! Go Ron Go!
i don't understand economics
i don't understand economics but I want to be running the most powerful nation in the world! Oh wait! I was a POW (with special treatment) and I want to stay in Iraq for 100 years and I want to bomb Iran. oh yes vote for me and see what great things (and wars) I can provide.
From what I understand
McCain rolled over on his fellow soldiers as a POW. I'm still investigating this and will post anything I can find.

doesn't understand economics....
and I should vote for this guy why? I suppose we should give him some credit for being honest about his inability to lead us.
This dosn't suprise me.
Hell McCain thinks Putin is the president of Germany.

this guy is gaffe city...
This guy will be the most manufactured presidential nominee in history if he gets it as any breakdown of the media facade will reveal a very inept and uninformed human being.
No doubt ...
It's a shame that it's not picked up more often by the MSM. Although there was this little morsel on Drudge today:

Tail Mccain
Maybe the Paul supporters should be tailing McCain not Julie-anne. With signs that say, are you lying like the president McCain?
You may be onto something here.
You want to see McCain implode?? Have a bunch of RP supporters go to one of his rallies. I'm laughing just thinking about it. Someone get the straight jacket.

He's coming to
He's coming to Charlottesville, Virginia in Feb., and we WILL be there. We've got a couple Meetup groups working together on this one.
I've been saying to everyone I know ...
that if Ron Paul supporters were to tag along to every Romney, Huck and McCain event like they have Giuliani, with signs and chanting, all four would be losing support!
We need to do it now through super Tuesday!!!!!! C'mon meetups!
one rally won't be enough, and...
that's what's happened to guilainani
Link?
Link?
Excellent!
It's the economy, stupid! Hammer it home over and over. Who votes for a President that doesn't understand economics? You gotta beat this guy. You gotta beat this guy from the inside out. Hit him hard. Make get him get flustered. Make him get angry. I wanna see a Dean Scream moment.
From what I've seen of
From what I've seen of McCain in the past, that shouldn't be too hard to do - lol
