Create jobs? Where? When they have the chance, they re engineer their business models, cost costs, offshore their operations and hide/shelter more of the progfits. They don’t even offer less expensive products – they just take more profit if there are production savings. Raises for workers? Nevah!

that’s the “experience” you are talking about

obama has the real experience, right on Iraq, right on the regulations that needed be in place which would have protected our economy

so what exactly do you mean ‘experience”?

shuts their mouth fast

I go on;

“there is only one metric that any person could want to vote mccain instead of obama…mccain is white…that is your reason though you refuse to admit it, even to yourself”

man, that gets’m going good

I asked a co-worker who supports McC exactly what criteria she uses to choose a president

Perfect way to ask the question, because posed that way a McCain supporter has no factual answers.

‘Just a feeling’ will be the best they can offer.

Late Update: So McCain is the candidate with the foreign policy experience ready to lead on day one. But he doesn’t know who the leader of Spain is. He gets confused in an interview, apparently thinking Zapatero is someone from Latin America who is an enemy of the United States and manages to create a minor international incident.

Later Update: Here’s another Spanish press reax. In Spain, there seem to be two lines of thinking. The great majority appear to think the McCain was simply confused and didn’t know who Zapatero was — something you might bone up on if you were about to do an interview with the Spanish press. The assumption seems to be that since he’d already been asked about Castro and Chavez that McCain assumed Zapatero must be some other Latin American bad guy. A small minority though think that McCain is simply committed to an anti-Spanish foreign policy since he’s still angry about Spain pulling it’s troops out of Iraq. Finally, a few of those who lean toward the first view speculate that McCain may have confused Zapatero with the Zapatista rebel group in Mexico.

Even Later Update: One representative reader response, from among many …

I listened to the interview. The characterization is correct. I originally gave McCain the benefit of the doubt, thinking that he was just snubbing Zapatero (something that would be welcomed by the Spanish right). When I was there, there was a lot of agitation among Spanish conservatives because Zapatero was ignoring the country’s relations with the U.S. and making overtures to more leftist countries in the Latin America–Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia (all the countries mentioned in this interview before Spain). There was even a controversy because Zapatero sat down when the U.S. flag was passing by in a parade. I believe his excuse was “his legs were tired.” So I figured McCain was giving the Zapatero the cold shoulder in the same manner as the Bush administration has done.

that’s huge, if the republikkkans were going to get any latin votes at all, we can insure thery get none with that story

I am telling you, they are going to use this “shock” to get MORE deregulation and MORE privitization

I believe we are above it, let’s find out
