So what has John McCain talked about for the lower incomes? He's not offered anything substantial. He's talked about keeping the tax cuts that help the ultra rich, and like others have posted above he's got the military for those others.

skipthesong - So allowing gas to completely get out of control, pricewise is okay. Allowing gas to get to prices that makes it's impossible for the lower incomes workers is alright.

I went to an investment meeting a couple of weeks ago and one speaker kept saying, "People will continue to live up to their lifestyle, period. They will continue to spend."

It was like this speaker saying, To hell with price increases, make your profits!!!!!, to hell with the little guys.

Is any career politician truly sensitive to the genuine (not perceived) needs of poor people?

"Sensitive to the poor McCain no doubt has a plan for them. The draft."

Proof that Ms Colmar knows nothing about America:

It's "liberals" like Congressman Charlie Rangel who want to reinstate the draft. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/07/rangel.draft/

I'd reinstate the draft.

No sense in the poor having all the fun in Iraq.

A draft, daydream? That means all the anti-war, peace-at-any-price zealots will have to fight for their right to protest wars (if only those under Republican presidents) too.

Certainly not the democrats. They need to maintain the lower class. They need that poor vote to keep themselves in power.

True, Helter Skelter. They claim to "look out" for the poor, but in reality all they've done is make the poor more comfortable staying at the bottom of the ladder. They haven't done jack to get people off of government dependency. But then the government doesn't do that for you anyway. It takes applying yourself and working your own way out of that class level. Oddly enough, that's what the "cold/cruel/evil/heartless" conservatives have been telling the poor in America for generations.

MaCain and the word poor just don't go together. hahaha. This is the guy who is visibly uncomfortable around black people. This is the guy who voted against Martin Luther King's holiday and now he has seen the light. I am maze how quickly they reform themselves on the way to the white house.

We wouldn't be in Iraq if there was a draft. That would mean geoege's friends might have to send their kid off and get them back in a box.

Remember rumpsfeld trying to get this super military that was quick and deadly. Didn't work.

Now with more requirements for military fighters, instead of the draft...we just enlist the criminals. Problem solved.

"This is the guy who is visibly uncomfortable around black people. "

As compared to who - Hillary?

If you read his "autobiography" there's a good argument in saying Obama was uncomfortable around "black people."

adaydream:

Yes we would. Having the draft didn't stop us from going into Korea or Vietnam, did it? Saddam would've still been Saddam, U.S. draft or no.

In fact, Obama seemed uncomfortable with himself.
