You're making the same point conservative talk radio is harping on. Yes, he is dancing around the question but he has stated that he wants to make the tax cuts perm.

Compare that to Hillary who wants to take away the tax cuts (raise taxes) and spend money like crazy. She said herself that America can't afford all of her ideas.

Then comes Bill and say's we need to slow down the economy to help global warming. Hillary is the perfect canidate for this high tax, high spending, slow the economy policy.

LBH, are you ever going to get tired of coming here just to mislead by repeating incomplete, out of context quotes?
"And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada -- the rich counties -- would say, 'OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.' We could do that.

"But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world's fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work.

(people in the comments section give a better analysis than the original blogger)

Bill was saying slowing the economy is an option, but a bad one. Instead it needs to be shown that going green can be good economics.

John "Crazy talk Express" McCain.

"We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves."
~ John McCain

Grandpa John on his return to the truth?

Wingnuts hate McCain... so don't worry about getting hate mail for revealing tht the straight talk express is neither straight talk nor express.

Want some hate mail? Write about Mitt Romney's conservative bona fides.

Compare that to Hillary who wants to take away the tax cuts (raise taxes) and spend money like crazy. She said herself that America can't afford all of her ideas.

Funny, that's what McCain said about Hillary and nobody believed it then either.

Hillary's husband left a budget surplus. Bush went through it in no time.

Bush will leave the biggest budget defecit ever, as well as the largest national debt ever, and all to fund a war of choice over fraudulent WMD in Iraq on the national credit card. Over $600,000,000,000 (that's billion) for the Bush Cheney Iraq fiasco.

Not to mention, Bush is in charge, the Decider as it were, and the economy is tanking. This "cycle" is a direct result of a housing bubble brought on by the Bush Administration's deregulating of the mortgage industry and not accounting for risk in CDOs while mortgage companies raked in millions. Mortgage industry business practices will make Enron look like childs play.

Republicans can longer claim fiscal responsibility as their unique possession. In fact, Clinton had it, Bush did not. That must piss off the Clinton haters.

George Bush, worst president ever.

"That must piss off the Clinton haters"

Nail on the head - I think.

Clinton had it because the majority house Republicans, who were in charge of spending bills, were very hard on spending back then. But kudos to both, they cut back spending at a time when there was still a lot of "cold war" surplus to play with. Bush had a majority in the House for most of his two terms and neither of them could resist the need to outspend the other. Sad indeed.

McCain claims to have been a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. There is one bit of truth in that statement. He was a soldier.

BUCHANAN: Here's a guy, basically, what does he say? The jobs are never coming back, the illegals are never going home, but we're gonna have a lot more wars.

SCARBOROUGH: We're gonna start a lot of wars! He has promised, for the record Keith, John McCain's platform -- and it certainly looks inviting for the fall -- he has promised less jobs and more wars. Now that's something we can all rally behind.

"He was a soldier."

And an honorable one.

How times have changed.

McCains got you corn nuts running like scared little girls.

Hillary should be the one you're afraid of look what she's doing to Obama~

You're right Bill left us a surplus because he was moved from the left to the center and worked with republicans. Hillary's no Bill.

You corn nuts should be praising McCain since the conservatives think he's one of you. Nice to see capt quoting Buchanan of all people. Finally got some sense in that noggin hey!

Heres Clintons contribution to global warming:

After Mining Deal, Financier Donated to Clinton

By JO BECKER and DON VAN NATTA Jr.

Late on Sept. 6, 2005, a private plane carrying the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra touched down in Almaty, a ruggedly picturesque city in southeast Kazakhstan. Several hundred miles to the west a fortune awaited: highly coveted deposits of uranium that could fuel nuclear reactors around the world. And Mr. Giustra was in hot pursuit of an exclusive deal to tap them.

Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously appointed MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Upon landing on the first stop of a three-country philanthropic tour, the two men were whisked off to share a sumptuous midnight banquet with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, whose 19-year stranglehold on the country has all but quashed political dissent.

Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Within two days, corporate records show that Mr. Giustra also came up a winner when his company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom.

The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers in a transaction ultimately worth tens of millions of dollars to Mr. Giustra, analysts said.

Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges.

Oh wait, theres more:

VANCOUVER - Frank Giustra, a super-rich Vancouver mining and movie mogul with a midas touch, has used his wealth to become a friend of Bill -- Bill being former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

As such, Giustra has placed his private jet at Clinton's disposal, flying with the former president on trips to Asia and Africa during the past two years.

The former Howe Street wunderkind is a member of the board of trustees of the Clinton Foundation, the charitable and activist vehicle established by Clinton during his post-presidency.

Font:****Giustra organized a recent 60th birthday bash for Clinton at Toronto's Fairmont Royal York, which raised $21 million for the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton spoke in Victoria and Kelowna Friday. Whether Giustra had any role in Clinton's visit here is unknown. Giustra has preferred to fly under the media's radar and declined an interview request for this story.

This "cycle" is a direct result of a housing bubble brought on by the Bush Administration's deregulating of the mortgage industry and not accounting for risk in CDOs while mortgage companies raked in millions. Mortgage industry business practices will make Enron look like childs play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Congress that deregulated the mortgage industry to make home ownership for those less fortunate. In fact it goes back to Clinton and his housing secretary that started it. Not that Bush isn't to blame as well. Enron started under Clinton also, but who really cares about the silly little facts.

McCain will be trounced in the general election. The reason the MSM is singing his praises is because they know he will be easy to beat. Watch for the indicator of this after Super Tuesday. If McCain wins big and is the obvious nominee, the MSM will not cover him or the repub primaries until he picks a running mate. Then they will begin the process of bringing them both down. If the dems primary remains close, McCain will not even be mentioned except for which dem the MSM believes can beat him.
