Comment: LOL! OMG You have to be joking, right? Just some thoughts to ponder before I leave you: 1) After 4 years in the Senate, how many times did McCain "reach across the aisle" or did he just start doing so to save his reputation after his political career was almost ruined with the Keating5 scandal? 2) What are the JOBS of the women and men you cite in each camp? You don't say in your article which is curious, seems like the nature of the job would have A LOT to do with how much each is paid, correct? Or is that just a little fact someone not agenda-driven would consider? Hmmm 3) I concede your point that imo Obama has been a mediocre Senator. He's not even my favorite, (Russ Feingold is), because he hasn't shown a lot of courage in key areas (FISA and Bailout come to mind) like Feingold, but that said, I'll be damned if I praise an unstable egocentric underachiever like John McCain as though he's somehow superior to someone who's shown superior intellect, insight, and temperament like Obama. How you actually do that week to week is mindboggling to me, JPhillips. You are a wonder, for real...

Comment: Hmmm.... On the issue of reaching across the isle, McCain's #1 claim to fame is McCain-Feingold Campaign Finanace Reform Act which at the end of the day had little impact on every day Americans. On a lot of other issues, McCain has changed his position in order to try to win the election. McCain initially opposed the Bush tax cuts, now he argues to make them permanent. McCain sposored immigration reform legislation, but during the primaries stated that he wouldn't vote for his own bill. McCain used to be a leading voice on the issue of climate change and environmental protection, but during the RNC convention all you could hear was "Drill Baby Drill". Now onto the issue of women..... Every time McCain had the opportunity to vote for equal pay for women he voted no. McCain also voted against the Violence Against Women Act sponsored by Senator Joe Biden. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. JCP please come harder next time. You are pushing a man who voted in support of Bush 90-95% of the time and so far has not offered us anything different than the disasterous policies that got us where we are today.

Comment: Is McCain walking the walk or is it b.s. as usual with him. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made an overnight change in the homeowner bailout he proposed at Tuesday’s presidential debate, making it more generous to financial institutions and more costly for taxpayers. McCain's staff says it was always meant that way. When McCain sprang his surprise idea at the start of the debate in Nashville, his campaign posted details online of his American Homeownership Resurgence Plan, which would direct the government to buy up bad home mortgages, allowing strapped people to keep their property. The document posted and e-mailed by the McCain campaign on Tuesday night says at the end of its first full paragraph: “Lenders in these cases must recognize the loss that they’ve already suffered.” So the government would buy the mortgages at a discounted rate, reflecting the declining value of the mortgage paper. But when McCain reissued the document on Wednesday, that sentence was missing, to the dismay of many conservatives. That would mean the U.S. would pay face value for the troubled documents, which was the main reason Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) gave for opposing the plan. A McCain campaign official explained the change: “That language was mistakenly included in the initial draft, and it’s been corrected. It doesn’t reflect the intentions of the initiative, which necessitated the correction and the removal of the sentence. A simple mistake.” Obama Campaign Economic Policy Director Jason Furman said in the campaign statement opposing McCain's plan: "John McCain wants the government to massively overpay for mortgages in a plan that would guarantee taxpayers lose money and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don’t recover. The biggest beneficiaries of this plan will be the same financial institutions that got us into this mess, some of whom even committed fraud." The McCain campaign estimates in both documents that the plan would cost about $300 billion.

Comment: naturalsista, when JMc tossed out that mortgage "solution" during the debate, my thought bubble filled with the conclusion that the man is attempting voter bribery . . . . . . JMc accuses his opponent, "that one" of being a tax and spend liberal as though the cost of his mortgage solution would be covered by plucking dollars from trees . . . . . the trillions being tossed around in US meltdown discussions are scarey to the point where I can't stop thinking about the Zimbabwe economic meltdown and the reports that Iceland is about to go bankrupt which has reverberations across Europe . . . . . sometimes, it's OK for JCP to be all of the JCP that he can be: as demonstrated with this essay, this is not one of those times

Comment: "...And if it is truly change voters want, this election offers a clear distinction between one candidate that talks of new politics and change and one that actually practices what he preaches..." Another political commercial for McCain by his lap dog, JCP. In the decades McCain has been in Congress, what exact tremendous changes has he brought about?

Comment: This FuthaMukka is a Liar, itsone thing to support McCain out of ignorance, but to lie and make up stories about a incident is absurd. McCain was not trying to work with Obama, check the link http://obama.senate.gov/letter/060206-sen_obama_and_se n_mccain_exchange_letters_on_ethics_reform/

Comment: JCP, there you go again -- head so far up the azzes of Republicans that I am amazed at how you can even breathe! Are you their personal colon cleanser? You certainly talk enough hsit to be? Was that your brother at McCain's rally yesterday asking McCain to attack Obama? Be careful he who talks like a white boy because self-hatred is a poison which may one day cause your head to implode!

Comment: better written than previous, but still meaningless low minded commissioned house negro banter and talk points. How much do they pay you again?

Comment: Hate JCP all you want, but wouldn't you love to be there - in his house, looking at the expression on his face - as the results come rolling in on the night of Novemeber 4th? Better than a Jello pudding pop.

Comment: Kudos to all the previous posters!!! JCP needs to take a flying leap off a steep cliff! Go ahead, jump before I kick you off. You are unbelievably pathetic with these lame azz columns you write every week. If you were a blonde or just from Alaska alone, you'd be ridiculously dangerous. Condoleeza Rice is a black republican just like you, but at least she has some intelligence about herself. You are just living proof that the goverment's "No Dummies Left Behind" program is a success. EURWEB - yall need your brains examined for keeping this Idiot on board. Since we're in challenging economic times (a dammn recession thanks to Bush), you all could benefit in more ways than 1 from dropping JCP from the payroll.
