Honestly

if anything Obama was guna get beat cuz of his foriegn policy experience but that's covered by Joe Biden

McCain has f**ked up so much on economic issues, even Romney on the ticket wouldn't help

Isn't all of those houses under his wife's name who happens to be pretty damn rich?  I don't know about you, but I don't think McCain's wife is funding McCain's campaign unlike the Clinton or Kerry couples.

"McCain has f**ked up so much on economic issues, even Romney on the ticket wouldn't help"

I beg to differ. What are the democrats going to do to improve the economy. I haven't heard any solutions from the democratic side but still everyone thinks the democrats will improve the economy? Maybe Obama isn't comfortable talking about the tax increase while he is more than comfortable talking about how he will give universal healthcare. Increasing taxes is a sure-fire way to weaken the economy. Especially in a recession.

Also i wouldnt mind paying extra taxes if i was going to get healthcare but that is a complete joke. The same government that failed social security and medicaid is going to give us free healthcare???!?!? LOL Government isn't efficient and that is a fact. They will never be efficient because they have no reason to. They have ever increasing budgets.

So in the end neither candidate is good IMO. Obama will mess up the economy and the republicans are idiots when it comes to foreign policy. They would rather make enemies than allies. Which would have been alright in 90's but not anymore as there are huge military and economic powers coming up like China, Russia, India.

Ya mccain is playing really dirty politics. I thought he was the "maverick". It tells me that he is not and that he is just like any other politician. don't get me wrong i think obama is the same filthy, cunning politician like mccain.

Beleive it or not the economy HAS made great progress in the past 8 years. Keep in mind Bush took office with the dotcom bubble and horrid job markets. His low taxrates helped the economy rebound. He is an idiot for continueing the iraq war though. The iraqis aren't taking the responsibility to protect themselves so why should we sped 1trillion$$$ to do it for them? I say put in a friendly puppet dictator and leave.

The economy has made great progress because we had great economy from 2003-2007. The rest of the time the economy was rebounding from a dotcom bubble in the beginning and a new housing crisis now. Both of which Bush or the republicans had any part in making. The housing crisis is made by idiots who took money they could not pay off.

Rooster, housing crisis was not made by those people, it was made by companies who were stupid enough to give money to people who couldn't pay it off

If you're guna give me a loan, i'll take it, knowing that i can walk away like so many people did, it's the company's responsibility to make sure that they're not doing bad business by giving it to some man who can't pay the monthly payment

either way you can not say America is doing good economically, and that is what McCain and his advisors have said..

"Rooster, housing crisis was not made by those people, it was made by companies who were stupid enough to give money to people who couldn't pay it off"

Why do you completely ignore the individual's responsibilities?

"Why do you completely ignore the individual's responsibilities?"

agreed. I dont exactly know what is gladiators position on what to do about it. I know that my position is we should do nothing about it. Dont punish the companies and dont bail out the idiots who took the loan. Let the ignorant suffer. I guess you are right that the company was not smart in giving these people the loans anyway so they are suffering as well. NO ONE needs to be punished or saved. Let the market fix itself.

Rooster the companies need to go back to business school...
