  • Sen McCain on the Obama Stimulis
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Dear John,

Yesterday, the Senate began debate on an economic stimulus package that is intended to get our economy back on track and help Americans who are suffering through these difficult times. Unfortunately, the proposal on the table is big on the giveaways for the special interests and corporate high rollers, yet short on help for ordinary working Americans. I cannot and do not support the package on the table from the Democrats and the Obama Administration. Our country does not need just another spending bill, particularly not one that will load future generations with the burden of massive debt. We need a short term stimulus bill that will directly help people, create jobs, and provide a jolt to our economy.

I believe we need to evaluate every bit of spending in this stimulus proposal with one important criteria - does it really stimulate the economy and help create jobs - if the answer is no, it does not belong in a so-called stimulus package. Furthermore, the stimulus must include significant direct relief to American workers in the form of payroll tax cuts and programs to help homeowners keep their homes. Finally, we need an end game to this stimulus so that when our economy recovers, these spending programs do not remain permanent and saddle our children with a skyrocketing national debt.

I appreciate the discussions President Obama is having with my Republican colleagues, but the time for talking has come to an end and we must now begin some serious negotiation. But as of yet, Republicans have not been given the opportunity to be involved. The House of Representatives passed a stimulus bill without a single Republican supporting it. In the Senate, the Democrat leadership is trying to jam the existing proposal through regardless of reservations from a number of members. With so much at stake, the last thing we need is partisanship driving our attempts to turn the economy around.

I have long been a fighter against wasteful spending in Washington and long an advocate for a balanced budget -- that will never change. I realize we face extraordinary challenges with our economy today, but that is not an excuse for more irresponsibly from Washington. I hope you will join me in saying no to this stimulus package as it currently exists by signing this petition.

Sincerely,

John McCain
Chair, Country First PAC

The fact that the Dems would try use our current financial crisis to ram through a massive social spending bill is appalling. Not surprising, but appalling.

I bet Old school PHil and the Paulites are glad they voted 3rd party. They elected Obama by voting 3rd party.

Paulites = neo hippies

Sir Bri true

But alot of Paulites stayed home.

EC is how it is won. 23,000 votes in NC
25,000 in Indiana
Nev a big Paulite compound
Ohio has it share that never turned out
Vir has a few.
McCain lost close in those states and big in Cali New York and others.

I agree it was not so much McCain vs Obama it was a big anti-Bush turnout.

I just like pissing off the Paulites

whos the real american then? granted paul's ideas wont pass over a lied to and uninformed populace, but it doesnt make them inheritently wrong. you guys like to ridicule him like he's some kind of...what? idiot like yourself? iraq war-monger? america can do no wrong guy? THATS YOU. so where does the problem lie? making fun of the "paulites" only shows your contempt (or ignorance) of our constitution. the same constitution you took a vow to protect. im ashamed of you, BG.
