“First of all, Senator Obama my friends call me John, but you can call me Senator McCain. Secondly, 40% of America ’s citizens pay no taxes at all, so how are you going to cut taxes for 95%? And third, are you crazy? The 5% making over $ 250,000 that you are going to increase taxes on are the small business owners who own 95% of the businesses where your middle class workers have employment. Why cut their taxes if they end up losing their jobs or benefits anyway because of the increased tax burden on the business owners?”
“Senator Biden, why criticize me? I got 2,500 votes running for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska . You only got 2,328 votes running for the Democratic nomination for President, and by the way, don’t worry about my interviews until you figure out that there was no television and no President FDR in 1929.”
“By the way, Senator Obama, Bush policies and conservative politics did not cause the Wall Street crisis. This may be above your pay grade, but let me explain:
Jimmy Carter initiated the Community Reinvestment Act, which Bill Clinton expanded significantly. This act in short was intended for minorities with low income and bad credit in America to more easily be able to buy and afford housing, instead of encouraging them, like everybody else, to work hard to establish good credit. But see, doing that gets democrats plenty of votes at the expense of America’s working tax-payers.The Bush White House, since 2001, has tried 18 times to provide an oversight entity to regulate and oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but you and your democratic pals like Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Chris Dodd have completely shut down all Republican attempts to halt the abuse and growth of the runaway sub-prime mortgage industry where you all have gotten significant campaign contributions from. In fact, I, John S. McCain, warned everybody three full years ago that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be reined in and regulated, and I even co-introduced and co-sponsored the Housing Enterprise Regularity Act to do just that, but you and your friends shot it down, too.”
“Hey, Senator Obama, I don’t want to come off like Columbo here, but when you were a State Senator, you awarded a $100,000 grant to build a botanical garden in Englewood , but the guy who headed the group, your friend, Kenny B. Smith, was one of your campaign workers, and he never even built the garden. In fact, out of the $100,000, he wrote his wife a check for $65,000, and another $ 25,000 to K.D. contractors, and guess what? That business was created by his wife, Karen D. Smith. K. D. Contractors. Since the Illinois Attorney General is investigating this, do you suppose they will drag their feet so you can get past even more corruption-related scandals? Don’t you have a lot of close friends involved in scandals? I mean heavy duty scandals?”
