Just saw this clip, sums McCain up to a T. He's an out of touch wealthy warmongering wasp that has no interest for working people. This is broadly symptomatic of American politics however. The country is an elitist polyarchy, I'm guessing at this stage that if your not a millionaire the odds are firmly against putting forward a viable candidacy in an election.

If you are not both financially comfortable and more importantly have the backing of some very powerful vested interests you have no chance of becoming the President of the USA. So don't get too starry eyed about the alternative.
Can't say I'm a big supporter of Obama, Can you believe it, he's too Hawkish my personal tastes!! Two party system is a joke.

Your little friends smear job is rather pathetic. Is McCain ineligable for the presidency because his wife is rich?
The woman takes out a mortgage with a 15% interest rate! anyone that stupid deserves to take a hit.
Liquidate labour, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.
That's a very Mary Antoinette sentiment. Keep it up, we know where this one ends.anyone that stupid deserves to take a hit

I am hoping for a McCain Presidency. Hopefully the gloves will come in relation to the Islamofacists, Russia and other rogue states.

For you whingey extreme left or right wing americans bitching about your two party system be glad you dont' live here, there are major diffrences between the two parties in the US, even if the economic power structures remain the exact same (and americans don't want to challenge them anyway, the average american doens't want to end worker opression they want to become the opressors) HERE, theres almost no diffrence, except one party is inept at getting INTO power (FG) the other is inept IN power (FF)
You live in the heart of the most powerful empire in history, I'd revel in it if I were you
