McCain's a moron when it comes to the economy

One of the benefits of being an ignoramus is that you aren't aware of it.

Quit faking it, John McCain. Next time, ask for a clarification. You know, "Plunge Protection Team"?

Deer in headlights

The look on McCain's face when Dr. Paul asked the question made many people (my self included) laugh out loud. It was like there was one of those cartoon thought bubbles above his head: "Oh my god, what can I say now? Man, I wish I those cameras weren't here."

Campaign '08-Ron Paul educates

Ron Paul continues on the rEVOLution march to the White House !! I find it very telling how much better informed and skilled he is at bringing out the intricate/ and often hidden details of the other candidates inability to grasp and explain in their own words the real issues and shows they all are puppets. Ron Paul a highly principled man,alone, consistently has engaged the Constituional issues with truth and clarity, and will obligingly call out the ineptness and weakness of all the others. Ron Paul is tenacious in his work to inform and educate the American voters and to cut through all the BS we have willingly grown accustomed to, having it systematically and methodically shoveled onto our heads and accepted sleeping in the deep dung fog of ignorance. Ron Paul is dedicated to illuminating the path out of the fog, he truly is the Watchman. Will we open our eyes and see the way through, that is the question .

This is the nail on the coffin for Mccain for my vote. I was wavering between him and Romney. Now watching Mccain's answer really has me scared. The fact that he will rely on everyone to do his job on economics gives free reign to these people to do what they want. Mccain won't have a clue as to what they are doing and that scares me.

Mr. McCain, ignorance of the laws of economics doesn't look good

Poor McCain, he needs to read a few more books in rational, Austrian school economics. Ron Paul has written one on a gold standard. Ron Paul understands the Federal Reserve and wants to radically reduce its power, and to eventually auction off its building. Please see Mises.org

McCain has no idea

It seems to show that McCain really has no idea of what he's doing when it comes to any domestic issue. He'd blow away any foreign country that didn't agree with anything we say, and let the countries internals go to pot. Oh... Wait.. That's what Bush has done! So I guess a vote for McCain is a vote for more of the same of what Bush has given us.

McCain on the "Plunge Team"

A pretty funny video spoofing McCain's reaction to Dr. Paul's query. Who knew an elder Republican Statesman had so much in common with Miss Teen South Carolina?
