Right McFossil, the trickle down theory worked so well during the Reagan era, I am still trying to dry out from being trickled on.

"intended as a favor to the wealthy Americans"

but just so happens to benefit the wealthy over 95% of everyone else. Nice.

McCain must have forgotten he was adressing the Hispanic community, and not the wealthiest 1% of Americans.

He thinks that his audience won't be able to figure out that his tax cuts are not for them, but are for millionaires.

McCain has the nerve to wave his immigration reform bill, which he said during the primaries to the traditional repub base, that he would not have voted for it, (his own bill), as a rotten carrot in front of Lations. They should infuriated.

Hispanics should realize that to McCain, they are nothing more than trouble down along the border, and to his campaign of 2008.

He forgot to mention that he's changed his policy on immigration and no longer supports a pathway to citizenship.  His new policy:Let'round then all up and send them home.

Let McCain decide which children of these illegals, born in the US and US citizens, stay and which will be deported.  We are a better, more compassionate nation than that.

'...including tax cuts that are not "intended as a favor to the wealthy Americans" -- ...'

No, they're a RIGHT for the WEALTHY
His cuts would go almost EXCLUSIVELY to the WEALTHY

'..."If you believe that you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you,” he said...'

What a brave and forth right statement
No pandering for McCain
If we DON'T pay more taxes during his term....
.... HOW do we end the deficit ?

Are we going to continue to pay for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with a credit card ?

Don't raise taxes during the Bush recession, but after we come out of it, we're gonna have to pay for the wars.

Even Arnold in California has finally awoken from his 'no tax' mantra. We need a fund to pay for fighting fires in California
You can't fight fires with tax cuts

Sorry !!


John McCain, More of the Same

"If you believe that you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you,” he said.
.....................................................

Gee....the first thing he's gotten right this capaign.

"McCain said his plan -- including tax cuts that are not "intended as a favor to the wealthy Americans" -- is the right way to end this economic downturn."

the taxes mr. mccain so boldly claims are not intended to help out wealthy americans do just that, I guess what he "intends" to do just doesn't always work out for the old dude, someone needs to remind the honorable mr. mccain 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' and that lying is also not a feather in his hat. this guy is laughable

How can McCain pretend to be fiscally conservative.

Yes, when you cut government revenue, you artificially provide some stimulus to the private sector. Some people will use the money they would have sent to the government to build business.

But we've seen this done twice before, and while both times provided some near-term good feelings, it did so with the price tag of huge deficits.

Twice in our post-WW II history we've seen dramatic, accelerated growth to our national debt. It coincides with big tax cuts. The first was under Reagan, and the second even bigger explosion of debt was under H.W. Bush.

The first Bush saw the folly in all this, when he referred to Reagan's plan as voodoo economics. You don't cut revenue and balance a budget. Sure, economic growth with produce its own revenue, but as anyone could have guessed and we now know from experience, its not dollar for dollar.

You feel good in the near term, while further sticking it to our kids and grandkids.

Now McCain wants to be the third voodoo priest.

What is it with this guy? He must be WAY OUT IN LEFT FIELD!!!!

Ira, Freehold, NJ - Ira, if you believe you do not pay enough taxes, I take it you have taken President Bushes advice, and you've made out a check for the amount you feel you've underpaid, and sent it to the IRS? If not, then why not?

McChicano is a riot.  He works on a bill, then he's against it.  What a baffoon!  He should probably debate himself before he starts talking about debating Obama.

Ira at 1:31:  are you really happy paying to support those illegals?  They use our services and don't pay taxes. And, with your guy BO, we'll be paying for the healthcare for 12 MILLION people who aren't citizens and don't pay.  According to your position, all you need to do is be pregnant, cross over and you're all set for life cos Obama will pay for EVERYTHING for EVERYBODY whether they're deserving or not.

McSame has a serious problem with the Latino vote.  http://www.gallup.com/poll/108040/Candidate-Support-Race.aspx They know they're dealing with a fake and won't be fooled.

Why don't we have someone like a Dick Gregory challenge this guy in his Town Hall meetings with the facts AND for once report that his line of attack against Obama is BS??  Why is the mainstream media just letting this glaring falsity about 32000 and his immigration policy ride?  What about the Truth????!!!

Message to latinos...the racists and nativists in john mccains party will never let him do any of the things he has promised...heck man he wouldn't even vote for his own immigration bill after they got done with him last year

McCain is like a boomerang:  He doesn't know which way he is going to bounce.  He throws a boomerang a day and we have to see what side of an issue he’ll land on that day!

going to be interesting if the congress follows the will of the people and stops all this earmarks business....

How can you say you will tax the people when you cannot get your own house in order?  Kind of like Charlie Rangel, who gives a $2 million earmark to put his name on a building at NYU and still talks about a massive tax increase to pay for everything.

With all the taxes being proposed to Americans, and Americans already being bled dry by local and state taxes, eventually, people will say "enough is enough" and the liberals will fall by the wayside.

Just look at the polls; McFossil doesn't stand a chance with the Latino vote; They aren't going to be fooled by this old fool who won't even support his OWN immigration bill! He's not fooling anybody but himself and perhaps his campaign staffers.

Lets end all this nonsense about 32,000 which is actually 232,000 for raising taxes.  It is stupid and bad journalism not to report the continued inconsistency and lack of voice on this serious blunder by the Mccain camp.

Matthew - Why don't we have someone like a Dick Gregory challenge this guy in his Town Hall meetings <<

Why doesn't Obama show up at a Town Hall meeting? Not a controlled enough environment for him? He more then likely will get a question that he can't answer?

Obama is a weak little man.

If you are an Immigrant to this country and you follow the laws and contribute I support you.  If you want to be heard and you want to be helped and to propser the only person you sould support is Barack Obama.  He is a man of Today and will fight for all of us.

If you believe that you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you,” he said.

First, if McCain's tax policy were to be implemented the following would happen:
None -- stimulus proposals McCain has proposed
$0 -- tax cuts that 101 million American households will receive under McCain's tax plan
$125 -- tax cut that a typical family, with two children (one of them in college) would receive
37 million -- number of seniors left out of McCain's tax plan
$1.2 billion -- tax cut for Exxon-Mobil
$200 to $300 billion -- amount the McCain plan would increase the size of the annual deficit.

Now who wants to pay more taxes??????

Second, we are paying $5 a gallon for gas and are in a recession.  The first thing I want to do s spend billions of dollars we don't have roundng up 12 million illegals.  Most do work and pay taxes.  There is an absolute need to secure our borders and ports. However, wouldn't a "Pathway to Freedom", with no preferential treatment make more economic sense.  

The rich in this country are only getting richer while the middle class disappears from view.  We have the ability to change this and secure this country and our future by voting for Barack Obama for President.  Hillary is supporting him and you should too.

Anyone that does not believe that McCain is not a third Bush term in not playing with a full deck. If you do not vote for Obama we will continue to be in this same situation 4 years from now. A vote for McCain is a death warrant for sure.

If we are stupid enough to vote McCain in office we deserve what ever nightmare we get

Latinos support McCain for the same reason republicans don't, and that's amnesty...

Didn't he just have a commerical where he claimed he isn't just going to tell the American people want they want to here (pander).  The facts are that taxes need to go up.  Bush cut taxes and spent way too much.  His credit bill and Americans' debt spending are why the economy is in the crapper.  The trickle down, smaller government policies have been a disaster.  We need a New Deal.  We need government investment to get the economy and America back on track.  We need to stop throwing money down the Iraq pit.  And yes, the richest 1% need to give back for all that they have gotten.

The only issue that John McCain has is to scare people with the fear of higher taxes.  Where is the patriotism of Republicans when it comes to investing in the future of this country?  In paying for the wars that McCain wants to continue.  We must stop leveraging our children's future and act responsibly.

Senator McCain - I don't have children, but I still want to pay my fair share to keep America's future bright.  I am part of the middle class and I know better than to believe your lies that Obama plans on raising my taxes.  But if that is what it takes to get America back to a position of economic strength, I'd be glad to.  That's real patriotism, not just flag pin wearing lip service.

McCain a real navy hero is the only one running for president who knows we have to win our wars.  We didn't start them the muslim terrorists that hate us and can come through Mexico real easy and we have to do something about it.  Sissy liberalist Jimmy Obama will never win the wars and will tax and spend us to death and must not win so vote for John McCain a hero not a zero.

latino voters definitely prefer obama because they know that obama has worked with mccain on immigration and mccain even praised obama about his work.  Obama has stuck by that immigration plan while mccain has ran away from his own plan.  so they know that obama is real and straight up when he says hes going to fix immigration

Henderson, Waterloo Iowa - "Why doesn't Obama show up at a Town Hall meeting? Not a controlled enough environment for him? He more then likely will get a question that he can't answer?

Obama is a weak little man."

Thanks for the response but there are two things:

1 - His first little Town Hall Meeting in NYC was a ruse, so much so that even Fix news couldn't stand it and blew the 'staged' aspect of it out of the water.  Remember that farce of a debate that Hillary and her friends set up on ABC?  Why would Obama Walk into another trap like that where the questions and audience are, on second glance, McCain acquaintances and oh, happened to be at his $25,000 a plate fund raiser the week before!?

2 - His town hall meetings attract maybe 100 people at most; Obama's attract Hundreds with standing room outside.  Why should Obama 'help' McCain to get access to larger crowds?  People don't come to see him for a reason and . . . The people there are 'plants' anyway who are his 'acquaintances.

Ask McCain Why HE insists on setting up the Town Hall meetings with no involvement from the Obama Campaign?  He just want Obama to 'show up.'  Obama didn't get this far by being an Idiot!!!  

Ira, Freehold, NJ  -- we are paying $5 a gallon for gas and are in a recession . . .

Both lies. You have no credibility.

But both will be true if Obama is ever President.

dusual, tx:

Could you do us all a favor, turn off Rush Windbag, pick up a grammar and spelling book, and learn to write?

Thanks.

Everything I know about mccain makes him the wrong candidate for me, and all of America, except maybe the filthy rich that he caters to, and yes, your BS tax cuts are nothing more than a favor to the wealthy. Nothing wrong with being a wealthy American, but government should not cater to them at the expense of ALL Americans, as mccain and bush do.

This war has cost us so much and I do not see how we will pay off China unless taxes are higher. The rich need to do their fare share and not expect the middle class to support us. The rich people are the only people who are doing well in this economy.  If we have health care for all then we all need to pay taxes. It is not for free.

A Spanish-language McCain radio ad gets nearly all its facts wrong.
Summary
McCain''s new radio ad, in Spanish, aims to show Florida would benefit from the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, which he supports. But every number in the ad is wrong, except one, a prediction of job gains taken from a group favoring the trade deal. And even that number is rounded upward so generously as to flunk third-grade arithmetic.
FACTCHECK.ORG

Dear fellow Hispanics, don't fall for the Repub slime machine...trust me, if the candidate was Hispanic, you can bet the Repub slime machine would have a field day with their stealth racist comments; probably starting with references to those cute Chihuahua dogs or turning the White House into a Burrito Palace!
