He says he's not, but he is. After the last year in the markets, I want to see what people think of that. He is reckless and without restraint.

Obama can win this by 15 points if he keeps it on Social Security and the economy for the rest of the election.

3. Hell, he wants to eliminate all optional spending.
He's promised more than once to freeze all spending except military, veterans benefits, and... uhh... I think there might've been a third thing.

EPA- fuck it, who needs it!
OSHA? fuck that...
ABC? gimme a fucking break...
FBI?... they're pansies anyway, the army can take care of that.
FEC?- You know he doesn't want them to have any money.
Dept of Education? What the fuck do they do anyway?... Fuck them, anyone who's anyone's kids go to private school anyway.
Dept. of Transportation? GImme a fucking break.
FAA? Fuck it, we can trust the airlines...
etc., etc., etc.

I'm guessing.. once the frozen spending balances the 10 trillion deficit, then we'll go back to spending money again. I'm sure all the federal employees of the State Department, FAA, OSHA, EPA, ABC, FBI, TSA, etc. etc. etc. won't mind waiting around patiently for a dozen years without pay until the government is sorted in a Fiscally Responsible fashion...

There won't be a new wave of homes of the unemployed foreclosed upon, really.

Batshit insane... it's really almost as embarrassing as his choice of VP.

6. He doesn't need "socialized medicine". He needs a good taxidermist.

5. Clinton brought this up at the Biden rally Sunday and....
it got a huge reaction. I think they need to bring up as often as they can.

10. This debate is domestic issues--we own those.
McCain's only hope is to somehow score a knockout with Ayers or ACORN.
