Sen. McCain is insane in the membrane.
All of a sudden, we need to "fix" social security because it is "broken."
These comments were made in florida Thursday afternoon.
Most of the residents of South Florida are well off. Some of this country's most wealthy have found a home in the Sunshine State.
They don't really care about Social Security fixing.
I hope it matters that McCain was talking to the Florida Press Assn. I hope they had their thinking caps on.
Funding the war in Iraq and its subsequent months of activity is where most of the Social Security trust fund has been spent.
Was it time to fix Social Security when you people in charge of this said fund, were busy spending it on your other woman--Iraq?
Or any place else other than this red, white and blue soil, it seems.
Take care of home first. I would never vote for Sen. McCain. He is only puppeting the failed policies of recent years.
I guess he doesn't realize that many of those people he addressed Thursday have money woes of one type or another or have family members borrowing from them because of money woes/failed current policies.
Yeah, I said it. Family members will borrow from you if you have and they have not.

Obama vs Clinton: Dem Debate down to the wire
Obama is a class act and from what I heard, people are listening.
Obama's answer during the CNN debate on what and who this country needs as far as national intelligence, was the most astute and in tune response from anyone
running for the White House that I have ever heard.
Good intelligence is what makes or breaks. I'm glad Sen. Obama knows that.
The difference between the GOP debate and the Dems are the
questions.
GOP questions are specific. The Dem questions are more general. The GOP is clearly
for those of us who earn $75,000 or more. The Dems realize all of us
matter. Dems in this case means Barack Obama.
Thinking Americans who make a difference, vote Obama. Those who
don't listen well or who think debates are boring--well they sway
easily.
Don't get me wrong-- I like Hillary, she's cool but like she said in the
debate--the president will have lots of problems to deal with when he
gets there. This country needs a real leader who will get respect--not a follower or an administrator. Their place is not as commander-in-chief but as support staff.
Obama thinks before he acts and speaks. Watch him carefully when he responds to a question and compare his thoughtful response to the off-the-cuff auto-responses of the other candidates. Who do they care about? Who are they speaking for--special interest groups only? Lobbyists? What about the American people for once! Don't we matter?
Obama is more translucent than Hillary and any of the Republican candidates--and he looks cleaner morally--which matters (respectfully) to
leaders of other countries. We have to keep that in mind. Americans are
not the only people on this planet. Obama can think globally--which
will advance this country as the days roll on. He's already
international and inclusive. That type of thinking works out better
macro economically. Look at how well the Euro is doing and how many of the wealthy have moved there to enjoy that wealth. That wealth used to be the strong American dollar. Oh and by the way, in Indiana, the poverty line for a family of four is $40,000.
It's hard to forget some of the things Hillary and Bill did while they
were there in the White House. It got this country laughed at and
humiliated--which isn't good when speaking of leadership and leaders.
We have to be respected and respectable. However, nothing the the Clintons can ever do or have done makes the case for yet another insensitive Republican elected to this nation's highest office. This country can do better than that. We're not desperate.
Will the Clintons really care about me and you this time around?
That is why I'm going with Obama because he is more of a trail blazer
-- like many of us in this country.
We are making our own path in this world the best way we can.
