Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama like to portray themselves as Washington outsiders, but neither candidate is completely clean of the influence of lobbyists.

Wow, Chris -- you sure do get pissed off over a couple of innocent quotes, don't you?

The truth can do that.

Here's McCain speaking to the Wall Street Journal in May 2007: "You are interviewing the greatest free trader you will ever interview, and the greatest deregulator you will ever interview."

Hmmmmm and we wonder why we are almost at depression level.

When are the republicans going to learn, that when you let businesses monitor themselves,  greed will F things up. 

After all of these Government bailouts I guess Government Welfare isn't as bad as you all thought. LOL

The thing is, I haven't heard the line "Hey pull yourself up by your own bootstraps." When applied to this huge government bailout.

Indiana is usually a slam dunk for the R's

Change is coming Chris, can't you feel it?

Chris you go vote for a guy that voted with Bush over 95% of the time, I am going to vote for change. :0)

The guy who voted the democratic party line 97% of the time is bringing change? Sounds like more of the same to me. How do you like him agreeing with Bush's bailout plan?

You mean like when Bill Clinton was in office, and we weren't in a near "depression" economy? I would be OK with that.

How do you like him agreeing with Bush's bailout plan?

My dad had about 200 thousand invested with AIG, part of his retirement savings gone if they would have folded. I'm glad they stepped in, but to credit Bush with such a complicated plan, come on, the mans a nitwit. It was the fed that thought that one up. I would rather my tax dollars go to help people. But I am all about regulating those that can't do it themselves.

Near depression? We aren't even in a recession.

If there hadn't been a bailout , we would have bypassed recession.
