During the debate, moderator Tim Russert quoted McCain claiming not to be an expert on the economy and McCain responded, “I don’t know where you got that quote from.”

Opposing camps quickly sent out a Boston Globe article from last month showing he said just that.

Hey, first of all. You don't know me, I think of the economy first.
Oh please. This is the second exaggeration you've made (that I'v seen)trying to condemn McCain.


Quote:
“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” he says........ “I’ve got Greenspan’s book.”
There is a big difference between "not understanding as well I should" and "knowing little." Distorting quotes is clearly your specialty, huh?

You know, I could easily play your game trying to dig up dirt on Obama or Clinton to spread all over the board (and ultimately exaggerate), but I find it an incredibly petty tactic. There is a thread by sterbo in the politics forum about candidates trying to smear their opposition, and how it tends to backfire.

Considering that the topic has changed to the economy issue. I thought it would be appropriate to show the views on the other candidates, Even if you agree or disagree. It is what he has said, no ifs ands or buts.

I recommend starting another thread if you would like to discuss the economy. This is the Hillary Clinton thread.

Oh and by the way, it isn't what he said - it's what you said he said.

For the 2nd time: You should start another thread if you wish to discuss the economy.

I've read both links, but it's incredibly obvious what you're doing. You claim to want to have an objective, wholesome discussion regarding the candidates' economic stances and experience, yet all I've seen from you is negativity towards one candidate, who happens to be your opposition. I'm done here - as it's clear nothing productive will come of this.

Negativity? Please... I don't want to hear your sob story. Need I go to the Who are you voting for thread? Hmm? Remember what happened there? Turned into a 'he's a racist thread'.

I know I said I was done, but when I saw this gem I just couldn't hold back:

Quote:

First -

Quote:

I fail to see any so-called "sob story." I was pointing out that you were trying to portray yourself as wanting to take part in an impartial, 'strictly business' economics debate, yet you clearly have an agenda.

Can't argue that, can you?

Quote:

This actually made me laugh, because as I remember it was you who steered us that way. Lo and behold, I re-examined the thread and found the following:

Quote:

( http://www.marijuana.com/politics/95...-voting-4.html Post #37 )

I'd say if anything, it's you who needs to review the thread. There was no mention of race whatsoever until you made that post.

Time to give it up Freedom User, you've been revealed.

I'd also like to add the following, from the Ron Paul thread in the Republican Candidates forum:

Quote:

So...you have no problems with Ron Paul, who is even more economically conservative than McCain, but yet you take issue to the latter? Sounds downright contradictory to me, I think you're dead in the water.

Meh..... I apologies for my actions everyone. You are right Andrew.

As, I would really like to say, that we have spent to much of this thread arguing. That being said, I felt that it was okay since the topic was temporally changed to the economy.

Moving on...
