    Hey hey.

    McCain just mentioned Ireland!

    "Ireland has a business tax rate of 11%"

    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    McCain went on about earmarks again ... taking a risk as they are relatively small and some people like them

    He then mentions Ireland's 11% Corporate Tax rates

    McCain - saying look at the records when comparing...

    He voted against energy bill that had billions of excess spending requirements and Obama voted for it etc.....

    Obama voted to increase taxes on people earning 42k (according to McCain in Senate records)....

    If Obama stopped saying "folks" and McCain used a thesaurus and stopped saying "fundamental" I'd be happy

    McCain - says to pay for the financial crisis is full review of all spending and cuts costs........cut costs in defence spending by using fixed cost contracts.....McCain says look at the examples of his cutting of costs etc eg DOD contract with Boeing that saved $6.8bn
