The Bad Economic News Keeps Coming

Stocks See there worst one day decline since 9/11.

The nations largest insurer near collapse as a result of the credit crisis.

Nations largest thrift lowered to junk bond status .

This is the result of greed furthered by a lack of regulation. The Republican mantra was let industry police itself. If you think that philosophy works then keep voting for these clowns. It happened in the 1980's with the Savings and Loan crisis which nearly culminated with a censure against John McCain for helping Charles Keating bankrupt his institution at a cost of 2 billion to the U.S. taxpayers.

If you don't learn from history you are bound to repeat it. How many times can we repeat these same mistakes.

The Lies Of John McCain

Please pass this onto 10 people and ask them to do the same. We can not allow the lies to continue. The future of our country is at stake.

McCain Son's Bank Goes Belly Up

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Does anyone remember the Keating 5?

Regulators shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development. It was the 11th failure this year of a federally insured bank in the U.S.

Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nevada. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30.

Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting.

I guess like his father, he doesn't really under the economy. Being part of the audit committee that is supposed to catch these things is troubling. I wonder how much this loss will cost taxpayers. I am sure it will be less then when his father used his influence to help Charles Keating which cost taxpayers billions.

Lets hope this incident will remind people of the corruption that John McCain was part of in the Savings and Loan crisis.

Former POW With McCain on Why He Should Never Be President.

McCain Picks Sarah Palin as his VP

McCain Picks Sarah Palin the first term Governor of Alaska as his running mate.

Sarah Palin, 44, is a first-term governor who unseated incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary in 2006 and went on to defeat former Gov. Tony Knowles, a Democrat, in the general election.

I would say it will be kind of hard to say Obama is not ready for the Presidency when you select the first term Governor of Alaska to be the second in line to a 72 year old. If McCain is elected she could very well one day become the President. Keeping with Republican tradition she is also under investigation in Alaska.

When Sarah Palin was elected governor as a Republican outsider in 2006, she didn't just take on an incumbent from her own party. She took on Alaska's Republican establishment.

Ms. Palin vowed to clean up a long-cozy political system that had been sullied by an FBI corruption investigation. She endeared herself to Alaskans by making good on her reform promises and showing homey touches, like driving herself to work.

Now, one of the bright new stars in the Republican Party has suddenly become tarnished. The state legislature this week voted to hire an independent investigator to see whether Ms. Palin abused her office by trying to get her former brother-in-law fired from his job as an Alaska state trooper.

"This is a governor who was almost impervious to error," says Hollis French, a Democratic state senator. "Now she could face impeachment, in a worst-case scenario."

If you want more pain then vote for Mccain. This just shows it is business as usual for the Republicans who have steadily destroyed the American Middle Class.

A Must See - Sometimes The Truth Isn't So Pretty

You Call Him A Maverick. I Call Him Corrupt

McCain and The Lobbyists

Why Can't John McCain Answer A Simple Question?

McCain Takes Money From Big Oil To Change His Position on Off Shore Drilling.

Do you still believe that maverick crap?

Campaign contributions from oil industry executives to Sen. John McCain rose dramatically in the last half of June, after the senator from Arizona made a high-profile split with environmentalists and reversed his opposition to the federal ban on offshore drilling.

This man will do anything and say anything to be elected President. He has flip flopped on every issue imaginable but now he has changed his tune to get some money in his campaign coffers. I'm sorry but to me that is bribery plain and simple and taking a bribe is illegal.

When will the media play fair and expose this blatant corruption?

The Two Faces of John McCain

This is really brilliant. Now we need to ask does he just not remember what he is saying or is he lying? Either way he should never enter the White House.

Unemployment Rate Sees Largest Monthly Jump Since 1986

The national unemployment rate increased by a half percentage point in May, the largest monthly jump since 1986, and employers cut 49,000 jobs.

There are about 1.5 million more unemployed job hunters now than at this time a year ago, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. An estimated 8.5 million unemployed people are looking for work.

Joblessness in May soared to 5.5 percent, up from 5 percent in April, reaching its highest rate since October 2004.

Every time you turn around the economic news worsens. Families across the country are afraid of what tomorrow holds.

"The numbers are consistent with an economy on the edge of recession, if not in one," said Frank Lenk, chief economist at the Mid-America Regional Council in Kansas City. "Since payroll employment data tends to get revised downward once all the data is collected, it might be worse than the current data suggests."

The statistics bureau's report did, indeed, issue revised employment counts for March and April, indicating that employers had 15,000 fewer workers on their payrolls in April and 15,000 fewer on their March payrolls than initially estimated for those months.

The jobs report indicated that the January-May period this year represents the first time since February-June 2003 that national payrolls declined for five consecutive months.

John McCain will be having some sleepless nights digesting this report. Remember he recently said people were better off now then they were seven years ago. Sure they are John for your rich lobbyist friends. The rest of us are screwed.

The Real John McCain

Tell the media to tell the truth about John McCain

Bush Disapproval Highest In History

Finally a vast majority realizes that this mental midget is an unmitigated disaster as President.

A new poll suggests that President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon [22 percent and 24 percent, respectively], but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s," Holland said. "The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 67 percent disapproval in January 1952."

He still has a 28% approval rating which absolutely stuns me. Who are these 28%. The only one I seem to know is that bottled blond bimbo Elisabeth Hasselbeck of "The View". She supports this war because its not her family dying in it. Her husband is a third string quarterback who could stay home and watch the kids while she enlists. People like her make me sick but its people like her that support this moron.

John McCain is just more of the same so if you think you didn't like the original wait to see what new found hells a McCain presidency would bring.

President Bush and his administration have single handedly ruined this great nation by destroying its finances, its reputation and its standing in the world. He should have a 100% disapproval rating but he still has time to get to that point. He is without a doubt the worst, most unqualified Presdient in United States history. January 2009 can not come soon enough but only time will tell if its coming too late.
