No. You are wrong. McCain supported (and still does - he wouldn't open his mouth the other day at the W.H. meeting if there were a turd in it) de-regulation.
I am not wrong. You need to check his voting record.
How is your statement racist?
Well, on a few levels.
While you are verifying McCain's voting record, look up and see how the punishment for crack cocaine and powder cocaine differs.
See Mr. Redneck from the sticks, blacks have a much higher likelihood to use crack cocaine.
Last time I checked, Blacks account for about 90 percent of crack cocaine use. Whites account for 90 percent of powder cocaine use.
When you check these facts, you will see that blacks are sentenced at an average of 5-10 times that of a white powder cocaine user/distributor.
So here is just one example of how you must not have realized you are a racist.
You say you oppose Obama for his lack of experience.
So you would rather vote in a 72-year-old man with a 1 in 3 chance of dying while in office, and have him replaced by a dimwit?
You think Sarah Palin is qualified to run the country? How about Ken Brenner?
Why not? Ken is a bright, good person and has served his community more than Sarah Palin.
Sure, he didn't preside over a state with the population of Wyoming nor did he deal with pregnancy while in office.
Another good point.
Sarah Palin is known in Alaska as "Sarah who?"
During her 1 1/2 years as governor, she spent 3/4 of her time in Wasilla (not Juneau) preparing for her pregnancy and delivering her baby.
Ken wouldn't do that.

JLM, Rick, Fred and Mary ... please try a news channel other than Fox News.
Not only do they fill you with misinformation, they really help you look stupid.
I've looked around and the fundamentals of the economy are not strong.
Last time I checked, unemployment was at 6.3 percent. And that is just the number of claims that are filled out weekly, not the number of people who are actually out of work.
As I have previously stated, most Republicans have become fools or liars.
Rick, I would have to put you in the liar catergory, as your well-written piece and well-spun views overshadow common logic.
Inflation is not low ... the dollar is struggling to survive in the currency markets and a flood of $700B into the market isn't going to strengthen it anytime soon.
Deregulation and unregulation of Fannie May and Freddie Mac have been points McCain prides himself on. He urged it, it happened, let the lying begin.
These "quasi-government agencies" as your slow waterbrained VP candidate calls them (isn't that socialism, which leads to communism???) have poojamed the American people because of the irresponsibility of such candidates as McCain.
The Fed appointees are another result of the Bush administration. Where is Alan Greenspan?
The main difference between Democrats and Republicans (aside from racism) is the mindset between the two parties.
Democrats have become increasingly proactive when it comes to problems. This stops the illegal payouts, greed and corruption that taints Washington before they begin.
Republicans have stayed reactionary. This way, they can profit from these "bailouts." Then, after they have made their money, say "we can't allow this to happen again."
You see, Rick, that is logical.
Fannie and Freddie could have been stopped before they started, but there was way too much money being made.
Bush refers to unregulation as a "house of cards."
Do you not think if the McCain-Palin ticket is elected and something happens to McCain, we won't be tested military-wise?
Do you trust that bad sportscaster, rape-victim-blamer, gun-totin', moose-killin', creationism-believin', evolution-rejectin', four-time college dropout to keep you and your kids safe?
I will start digging my bomb shelter on election day.
Mark my words - Palin will be the downfall of the GOP this election.
Her sexist rants are getting old, as well as the questions about her background.
Imagine this, if you will: Barack Obama brings out his pregnant daughter and her baby daddy on the stage and introduces them to the nation.
Truth on Palin: - Had an affair with her husband's friend in the mid-90s. - Son (the war hero) was told to join the Army or he'd end up in jail for his Oxycontin issues. - Is a religious extremist who can see Russia, Charlie. - Doesn't believe in science.
Imagine a black man in politics carrying that baggage. And that' just a sampling.
Bad, bad, bad decision to put her on the ticket. Her interview last night was atrocious and today the outlets are spinning as much as they can.
If people keep falling for the same party-line b.s., the country will fall further behind.
This isn't our grandparent's generation (most kids today have no idea the meaning of the term "blue collar.")
Manufacturing (whether it be solar, wind, turbine or renewables) is essential if we want to keep any foothold on the world economy.
Here's an idea: Start by changing the emissions standards for all new cars sold in the U.S. All must have some sort of hybrid technology or they can't be sold.
If it weren't for oil industry lobbyists, we'd already be there. Greed is going to take the U.S. down, just as it built it up.
With 5 percent of the population controlling 95 percent of the money, and the tax loopholes that are being taken advantage of by the top 5 percent - the gap isn't closing anytime soon.
We have become a service-driven. web-based economy with few manufacturing jobs, and no offense to Eli Whitney, but it's time for another industrial revolution.

Conservative commentary: It's not the economy
It is complete nonsense to hold John McCain accountable for the unregulation he supported?
???
And Obama wasn't a crackhead.
He tried coke as a teen and admitted to it.
These attacks are further proof of the Republican Spin machine.
They can't tell the truth, so they exaggerate and expect you to accept it as fact.
"The future Sen Obama was smoking crack on a street corner when these things were taking place."
How do you know he was on a street corner?
Because his father was black?
You have some personal issues to deal with regarding race that have nothing to do with politics.

Hey Fred,
Instead of your Republican, Fox News-fact-based responses, how about you provide some facts.
It seems your campaign has fooled everyone in your party (yourself included) into thinking whatever they say is the truth.
So please, either admit you are a liar or admit you are a fool.
Or - do what your Republican buddies are doing and keep posting false information.
P.S. I'll wait for Rush Limbaugh to finish so you can draft your response from what he says.
P.P.S. - Dems didn't control Congress (and then barely) until 2006, so start a new lie.
