Obama says McCain ‘finally giving us a little straight talk’

Posted on May 3rd, 2010 by admin in senator straight talk | 3 Comments »

Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday that Sen. John McCain was now “owning up to the fact that he and George Bush actually have a whole lot in common.” “Just this morning, Sen. McCain said that,
actually, he and President Bush — ’share a common philosophy.’ That’s right, Colorado. I guess that was John McCain finally giving us a little straight talk,” Obama said at a rally in Denver.

Obama was referring to McCain’s Sunday interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

NBC’s Tom Brokaw pointed to a review of McCain’s record, which showed he voted with Bush 92 percent of the time.

“So it’s a little hard for the public to separate you from this administration, isn’t it? ” Brokaw said.

McCain said there were times he has broken with the Bush administration, but added: “So do we share a common philosophy of the Republican Party? Of course.”

“But I’ve stood up against my party, not just President Bush, but others; and I’ve got the scars to prove it,” he said. “Do I respect President Bush? Of course I respect him. But I pointed out we were on the wrong track in a whole lot of ways.”

Obama said Sunday that as the campaigns wind down, voters can expect “the same kind of politics that we’ve seen over the last eight years” from McCain. “It’s a politics that is more about tearing your opponent down than lifting your country up.”

“We’re not going to let George Bush pass the torch to John McCain,” Obama said.

At a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, McCain shot down the notion Obama’s charge that he is “more than the same” and vowed to bring change to Washington. “I’m going to give you a little straight talk today … with your help we’re going to win here and we’re going to bring change to Washington, DC. We’re going to bring change,” he said Sunday.

Obama leads McCain by 8 percentage points (50-42 percent), according to CNN’s latest average of national polls.

Despite his sagging poll numbers, McCain said earlier Sunday that he is “very happy with where we are” and very proud of his campaign.

“We’re doing fine,” the Arizona senator told NBC. “We are very competitive in many of the battleground states.”

McCain brushed off polls that show him trailing Obama, saying those numbers are “all over the map.”

“Those polls have consistently shown me much further behind than we actually are. It all depends on the voter turnout … we’re doing fine. We have closed in the last week.” he said. State-by-state polling

McCain also spoke out against recent criticism of his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll suggests that Americans have an increasingly negative view of the Alaska governor.

According to that poll, 46 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of Palin, compared with 59 percent at the time of the Republican National Convention. The poll showed an increase in the number of people who have an unfavorable view of her — 51 percent compared with 29 percent in early September.

The poll, conducted October 20-23, has a sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

McCain said Palin “needs no defense.”

“I don’t defend her. I praise her,” McCain said. “She has more executive experience than Sen. [Joe] Biden and Sen. Obama together.”

McCain acknowledged that he and Palin disagree on some issues, but said it was “because we are both mavericks.”

“But we share the same goal of cleaning up Washington. We will clean up and reform Washington together, and she has the credentials, and the vision, and the dynamism and the strength to do that,” he said.

Sources have told CNN that long-brewing tensions between Palin and key McCain aides have been intensifying.

Several McCain advisers suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin “going rogue.”

A Palin associate, however, said the candidate is simply trying to “bust free” of what she believes was a damaging and mismanaged roll-out.

With just nine days left to campaign, the candidates and their running mates are focusing their attention on the battleground states as they try to turn out the vote and woo those who are still undecided.

McCain on Sunday was campaigning in Iowa, where Palin campaigned the day before. The latest polls show McCain trailing by double digits there.

Palin on Sunday had events scheduled in Florida and North Carolina. CNN’s latest polls show a tight race in both states.

Biden was in his home state of Delaware on Sunday with no public events scheduled.

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk 4/26/10: Socialism vs Corporatism

Posted on April 27th, 2010 by admin in straight talk | 25 Comments »

http://house.gov/paul
http://CampaignForLiberty.com

Lately many have characterized this administration as socialist, or having strong socialist leanings. I differ with this characterization. This is not to say Mr. Obama believes in free-markets by any means. On the contrary, he has done and said much that demonstrates his fundamental misunderstanding and hostility towards the truly free market. But a closer, honest examination of his policies and actions in office reveals that, much like the previous administration, he is very much a corporatist. This in many ways can be more insidious and worse than being an outright socialist.

Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers.

A careful examination of the policies pursued by the Obama administration and his allies in Congress shows that their agenda is corporatist. For example, the health care bill that recently passed does not establish a Canadian-style government-run single payer health care system. Instead, it relies on mandates forcing every American to purchase private health insurance or pay a fine. It also includes subsidies for low-income Americans and government-run health care exchanges. Contrary to the claims of the proponents of the health care bill, large insurance and pharmaceutical companies were enthusiastic supporters of many provisions of this legislation because they knew in the end their bottom lines would be enriched by Obamacare.

Similarly, Obama’s cap-and-trade legislation provides subsidies and specials privileges to large businesses that engage in carbon trading. This is why large corporations, such as General Electric support cap-and-trade.

To call the President a corporatist is not to soft-pedal criticism of his administration. It is merely a more accurate description of the Presidents agenda.

When he is a called a socialist, the President and his defenders can easily deflect that charge by pointing out that the historical meaning of socialism is government ownership of industry; under the Presidents policies, industry remains in nominally private hands. Using the more accurate term corporatism – forces the President to defend his policies that increase government control of private industries and expand de facto subsidies to big businesses. This also promotes the understanding that though the current system may not be pure socialism, neither is it free-market since government controls the private sector through taxes, regulations, and subsidies, and has done so for decades.

Using precise terms can prevent future statists from successfully blaming the inevitable failure of their programs on the remnants of the free market that are still allowed to exist. We must not allow the disastrous results of corporatism to be ascribed incorrectly to free market capitalism or used as a justification for more government expansion. Most importantly, we must learn what freedom really is and educate others on how infringements on our economic liberties caused our economic woes in the first place. Government is the problem; it cannot be the solution.

THE REAL McCAIN: Less Jobs, More Wars

Posted on April 6th, 2010 by admin in straight talk dvd | 19 Comments »

Concerned that the real John McCain story was not being told, Robert Greenwald and his team at Brave New Films decided they HAD to do something about it, so they did some extensive research on his flip-flopping. The result is a series of short films laying bare the fallacy of the straight-talk label that has been attached to McCain like a Siamese Twin for the better part of a decade.

The results have been truly spectacular, entering record-breaking territory. Within a week of its debut on the web over 1 million people viewed The Real McCain 2. It s been the #1 most viewed video on YouTube, #1 on the viral video chart, and the #2 story on the Digg Election 2008 page. Brave New Films is now reaching an audience that most cable news shows only dream of.

This DVD compiles the shorts and adds exclusive on-camera instruction and commentary from key progressive leaders including MoveOn s Eli Pariser, Democracy For America s Jim Dean and Greenwald himself. They show the viewer how to use these short films to maximum effect.

The release of all the shorts in one value-priced DVD enables you to pass the message along to all of your family, friends, and co-workers for less than $10.

Mccain in the Membrane (Part 1) Keith Olbermann reveals lies of Sarah Palin and John Mccain

Posted on March 31st, 2010 by admin in snl straight talk | 25 Comments »

A new daily feature on Countdown with Keith Olbermann: The most outrageous or false statement made by John Mccain, Sarah Palin, or on behalf of their campaign.

This nation is facing real challenges on the economy, health care, jobs and the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are significant differences between how Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain would address them. But McCain’s recent campaign ads suggest the most vital issues are whether Obama wanted to teach sex education to kindergarten children and whether he derided the Republican’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, by talking about lipstick on a pig.

McCain’s straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually will backfire with the very types of independent-thinking voters that were so attracted to him.

The sex education ad says that Obama supported “comprehensive sex education” for kindergarten children. Graphics then appear with a voice-over saying: “Learning about sex before learning to read?”

The facts: Obama, while a state lawmaker in Illinois, supported a measure to provide older students with age and developmentally appropriate sex education. Younger children, such as those kindergarten-age, would be taught “age-appropriate” things such as how to protect themselves from sexual predators. The legislation was widely backed by the state PTA and the Illinois Public Health Association. Parents could choose to opt out of any instruction for their children.

As to the lipstick-on-a-pig controversy: Obama used the phrase, which he had used before, to attack McCain’s claim that he’ll reform Washington while retaining the policies of President Bush. After using the lipstick-on-a-pig phrase, Obama said, “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.”

McCain’s…more than willing in this election to put his name on campaign lies. The leader who says he would rather lose an election than lose a war now risks losing his reputation in an attempt to win the White House.
http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/article808444.ece
I know the MSM demands that we move on from the fact that someone who could be president next January has a list of public lies so extensive and indisputable that the McCain campaign has still not been able to rebut or even address any one of them, while fencing her off from the press and refusing to hold a press conference to clear the air on so many murky questions of fact that get to the core of whether this person is fit to be vice-president or president.

So for the record, let it be known that the candidate for vice-president for the GOP is a compulsive, repetitive, demonstrable liar. If you follow the links, here is the proof. I repeat: proof:

- She has lied about the Bridge To Nowhere. She ran for office favoring it, wore a sweatshirt defending it, and only gave it up when the federal congress, Senator McCain in particular, went ballistic. She kept the money anyway and favors funding Don Young’s Way, at twice the cost of the original bridge.

- She has lied about her firing of the town librarian and police chief of Wasilla, Alaska.
- She has lied about pressure on Alaska’s public safety commissioner to fire her ex-brother-in-law.
- She has lied about her previous statements on climate change.
- She has lied about Alaska’s contribution to America’s oil and gas production.
- She has lied about when she asked her daughters for their permission for her to run for vice-president.
- She has lied about the actual progress in constructing a natural gas pipeline from Alaska.
- She has lied about Obama’s position on habeas corpus.
- She has lied about her alleged tolerance of homosexuality.
- She has lied about the use or non-use of a TelePrompter at the St Paul convention.
- She has lied about her alleged pay-cut as mayor of Wasilla.
- She has lied about what Alaska’s state scientists concluded about the health of the polar bear population in Alaska.

You cannot trust a word she says. On anything.
