		<description>McCain and Palin are just out to &quot;poison the well&quot;, and then apologize after the impact is made with some innocent &quot;who, me?&quot; lies.

As someone said, they make all kinds of outrageous statements, just to take the voters eyes off the collapse of the world economy now occuring. As well as the Iraq and Afghanistan failures.
They are a continuation of the republican party of George Bush, which is destroying our economy, our reputation in the world, and let Bin Laden escape due to his Iraq disaster.

The republican party has become like some right wing nightmare religion.  All they want is power and money, and they could care less about who they hurt.

Take them one step further, and it is a born again scene of 1933 in Germany all over again, except here in America.  Thanks to McBush and McB---h.   Seig Heil will be their next motto.

And between them and Bin Laden and the Iraq catastrophe, world civilization as we know it could end.  

Be sure and Vote, your vote does matter. For example, if every gay person in tiny Key West had voted in 2000,  George Bush would never have been elected president. The decision hung on about 500 votes.</description>

		<description>In the 1980&#039;s, McCain took campaign contributions and favors from Charles Keating who ran a savings and loan association. The contributions were generous: They came to about $200,000 in today&#039;s dollars, and in addition McCain got several free vacations for his family, along with private jet trips and other perks. McCain then repeatedly voted against congressional efforts to tighten regulation of S&amp;Ls, and in 1987, when he learned that Keathing was the target of a federal investigation, he met with regulators in an effort to get them to back off. 

At the time, Keating was also investing his depositors&#039; federally insured savings in risky ventures. When those lost money, Keating tried to hide the losses from regulators by inducing his customers to switch from insured accounts to uninsured (and worthless) bonds issued by Lincoln&#039;s near-bankrupt parent company. In 1989, it went belly up -- and more than 20,000 Lincoln customers saw their savings vanish.

Keating went to prison, and McCain&#039;s Senate career almost ended. McCain was investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee and ultimately reprimanded for &quot;poor judgment.&quot;

The savings and loan crisis mushroomed. Eventually, the government spent about $125 billion in taxpayer dollars to bail out hundreds of failed S&amp;Ls that, like Keating&#039;s, fell victim to a combination of private-sector greed and the &quot;poor judgment&quot; of politicians like McCain.

The $125 billion seems like small change compared to the $700-billion price tag for the Bush administration&#039;s proposed Wall Street bailout. But the root causes of both crises are the same: a lethal mix of deregulation and greed.

Today&#039;s meltdown began when unscrupulous mortgage lenders pushed naive borrowers to sign up for loans they couldn&#039;t afford to pay back.  

Could all this have been prevented? Sure. It&#039;s not rocket science: A sensible package of regulatory reforms -- like those Barack Obama has been pushing since well before the current meltdown began -- could have kept this most recent crisis from escalating, just as maintaining reasonable regulatory regimes for S&amp;Ls in the &#039;80s could have prevented that crisis.</description>

		<description>I lived in Europe for a few years.  While there, I was ashamed to say that I was American.  We have such a shitty reputation.  Europeans would say to me, &quot;Well, you&#039;re different from the typical American.&quot; when they realized that they had just dogged my country.  Non-Americans see those from the U.S. as stupid, obnoxious, overbearing, and loud.  A McCain/Palin presidency will seal our reputation.  I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;m plain scared.</description>

		<description>McCain may be becoming senile and out of touch with economic realaity now. But he wasn&#039;t in the 80- 90-s when he supported Keating and that led to our current mortgage downfall. He is one of those RESPONSIBLE.  See the new video on KeatingEconomics.com</description>
