McCain faces risky topics in California trip

[flarendep1]

WTF is McCains plan? All 3 running have laid out there plans

And I said Religion should be left out, but when you Republicans want to persecute someone for what his preacher said then I want to show you what the preachers that are backing McCain have said and did......

Comprehend?

Preachers backing McCain are not on his advisory team like Rev Wright was on Obama's. And they did not spew racist hatred of the likes of this Wack job!

Governor Bush had no experience!

Governor (who did a great job in Texas) of a large state - seems to me that is experience compared to Obama. Clinton was a governor, Obama is inexperienced and people know it. Now that he is under some scutiny it is starting to affect his #'s

He's under scrutiny more for what his stupid preacher said. And people believing that he's a racist muslim.

Your Governor ran several companies into the ground at taxpayers expense.

How anyone can defend a moron like Bush is beyond me. The guy can't even talk right, can't read right and is a moron. And no one can prove that he even did his simple guard duty. However, keep defending the moron.

Can you refute that with concrete evidence?

As for racist hate and general hate I suggest you do some research.

[flarendep1]

If your trying to defend Wrights statements, your on shaky ground.

Bush did a good job in Texas and worked well with the democrats in his state. Just becuase he talks funny doesn't make someone stupid. He flew jets and graduated from the Ivy league, became a govenor, cant be too dumb.

If McCain had these type of wack rev's on his staff dont you think CNN would be all over it by now?

[musclemann]

I thought you want religion out of politics? These stories wont have legs, McCain loves his country, people hear Obama's pastor/advisor pronounce "God Damn America" and their antenna's are going up.

Bottom line is nobody really knows that much about what Obama believes in for the future of the country. He runs on catch words like "Hope", no specifics, whats his plan???

U SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Tuesday called for mortgage lenders to help struggling homeowners stay in their homes, but said government's role should be temporary and limited.

McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, also called for increased transparency and accountability in the mortgage industry, among both lenders and borrowers.

"It is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers," McCain said in a speech in Santa Ana, Calif. "Government assistance to the banking system should be based solely on preventing systemic risk that would endanger the entire financial system and the economy."

McCain said that the Federal Reserve's bailout of Bear Stearns met his criteria. But he offered no specific federal proposals to aid homeowners facing foreclosure. He promised to evaluate proposals "based on their costs and benefits," but he didn't address any of the solutions percolating on Capitol Hill.

McCain advisers told reporters that the candidate frowns on legislation being prepared by Democrats that would have the government provide up to $400 billion in guarantees for mortgages that lenders agree to modify. One proposal would have the government then auction off the mortgages to new investors.

In soft-pedaling direct federal assistance to homeowners, McCain drew a sharp contrast with both his Democratic rivals. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., on Monday proposed a $30 billion federal fund to help local communities aid pressed homeowners. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., proposed a similar $10 billion fund. In that sense, McCain's speech was as much a statement of political principle as it was a substantive response to the housing crisis.

After the speech, McCain adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin rejected the type of foreclosure moratorium that Clinton has pushed, saying it doesn't "address why someone is in foreclosure."

"As harsh as it may sound, that may be an appropriate outcome in some cases," Holtz-Eakin said.

Not surprisingly, Democrats panned McCain's approach.

"He sounds remarkably like Herbert Hoover," Clinton told reporters in Greensburg, Pa. "I don't think that's good economic policy. The government has a number of tools at its disposal."

Obama spokesman Bill Burton characterized McCain's response to the crisis as "just sit back and watch it happen."

McCain did call for steps to ensure that future borrowers know exactly what they're getting into and to require borrowers to "provide a responsible down payment" when they buy. He said the down-payment requirement for Federal Housing Administration home loans should be increased. It's currently as low as 3 percent.

Noting that the crisis came about in part because "lenders ended up violating a basic rule of banking: Don't lend people money who can't pay it back," McCain suggested that those same lenders need to play a leading role in ending it.

He cited as an example General Motors, which offered zero percent financing after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to help the economy. McCain didn't suggest that lenders should suspend interest payments on mortgages, but said "we need a similar response by the mortgage lenders."

"They've been asking the government to help them out," McCain said. "I'm now calling on them to help their customers, and their nation, out."

Carly Fiorina, a McCain adviser, conceded that "there are clearly some mortgage lenders that are not in a position to do this" because many are in financial straits because of bad loans.

"It could be that this spawns a wave of consolidation in the mortgage lending industry that is appropriate," Fiorina said. "Consolidation is not a bad thing. It's a healthy market response."



Sounds to me like he said to be responsible for your own actions, whether you're a bank or a borrower. Something the handout crowd won't like for sure!

IS THE REVEREND WRIGHT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?

YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NEW TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA BECAUSE YOU SOUND LIKE A BAD COMEDIAN RUNNING OUT OF MATERIAL.

No, but lame ass obama is running for president on a platform of judgment. And his judgment told him to sit in a pew for 20 years, get married by, and have his children baptized by a hate spewing piece of crap pastor like wright. plus, obama lied about it. didn't hear anything in 20+ years one day, then a few days later heard it but blew it off. all the while his book was based on the hater's sermons. makes you wonder why he disinvited the hater/pastor last year huh?

did you use your muscles and beat up the government man who was there to drop off the monthly shipment of aids?
