Comments on: The McCain Campaign’s Immediate, Dishonest, and Deceitful Spin on the Debate http://acandidworld.com/2008/09/27/the-mccain-campaigns-immediate-dishonest-and-deceitful-spin-on-the-debate/ Democracy in America Sun, 27 May 2012 05:50:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ames http://acandidworld.com/2008/09/27/the-mccain-campaigns-immediate-dishonest-and-deceitful-spin-on-the-debate/#comment-6614 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 14:20:00 +0000 http://www.acandidworld.net/?p=2325#comment-6614 “Wow” – I think you misunderstand Obama’s point. It isn’t that the two are similar, it’s that the two are different ways of coming to the same outcome: fiscal responsibility.

In reality, I’m certain Obama could quote-mine McCain’s responses as well.

McCain is the criminal here, not Obama. John McCain died in 2000 with the black baby scam. What we see here is robo-McCain – a creature manufacture by his neo-con Rovian handlers.

Senator McCain is proposing — and this is a fundamental difference between us — $300 billion in tax cuts to some of the wealthiest corporations and individuals in the country, $300 billion. Now, $18 billion is important; $300 billion is really important.””

Wow Obama, just wow. He thinks that that $300B is the government’s money by right. He really can’t see the difference between limiting runaway taxation power and cutting pork?

My wife, who is a social worker, noticed them right about the same moment I did. It’s Counseling 101. Acknowledge the other party’s point, agree that they feel a certain way, and then give your opinion.

You never, ever, ever say “I agree…” in a debate. Period. Obama is a quick study so he’s not likely to do it again, but he brought this round on himself.
