FTA:
Here is a look at McCain’s back-and-forth on regulation *during the last 24 hours*:
- Deregulation: McCain issued a statement Monday morning saying that “we cannot tolerate a system that handicaps our markets and our banks.”
- Regulation: McCain’s campaign then put out an ad calling for “tougher rules on Wall Street.”
- Deregulation: This morning, on NBC’s Today Show, McCain said, “Of course, I don’t like excessive and unnecessary government regulation.”
- Regulation: Then, on CBS’s The Early Show, McCain said, “Do I believe in excess government regulation? Yes.”
- Both: On CNBC’s Squawk Box, McCain said, “We don’t want to burden average citizens with over-regulation and government bureaucracy…And I’m proud to be a Teddy Roosevelt Republican, who said, ‘unfettered capitalism leads to corruption,’ and we’ve got to fix this.” - MacSuxWindozSux, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3McCain is doing what is called "talking out of both sides of his mouth".
- jerrym123, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I would ask that all Obama supporters to take 10 minutes right now and forward the email below / or something similar to everyone you know. This issue is hot and on the mind of all voters regardless of party affiliation. I can give us the opportunity to put McCain on the ropes all across the U.S. I cobbled this email template together from a similar email I received and while I liked the original, I found that it generated too much initial resistance from those leaning towards McCain and those undecided voters. This version is softer and appeals to morals, ethics and honesty and lets the reader decide. This election is too important for each of us to not take the effort to try and get every single vote.
Dear friends and Family,
Dishonesty is nothing new in politics, Winston Churchill said "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on" and Adolph Hitler was quoted as saying “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” which probably explains why some modern day politicians keep repeating the same lies over and over even after they have been debunked. Factcheck.org a non partisan group that debunks misleading ads from both campaigns has called the latest ads by one candidate for president "particularly egregious".
Have the lies already worked on you? Have you already fallen for the propaganda? Valdimir Lenin the former communist leader of the Soviet Union knew a thing or two about propaganda. He said “A lie told often enough becomes truth”. So have you been falling for the empty propaganda that some politicians have been spewing in our direction? Or are you going to stand up and show the world that American voters are not as stupid as some of our politicians take us for.
It is time for voters to put aside the wedge issues that the campaigns and lobbyist always use to manipulate and trick us into voting against our own best interest. Put aside abortion, gay marriage, wars, religion, etc. We will not have a country to be able to fight for or against those issues if the economy gets worse. Our current economy is destroying families, causing mental breakdowns and hardship for millions. Put aside party lines, put aside racism, put aside it all and think of your country as a whole. One thing I think everyone can agree on is that America wins when the economy works for everyone. Get educated, learn the truth, vote smart, and help spread the word.

Maybe he or Palin could do a press conference to answer some questions on these issues, but I doubt it.
