		<description>Change you can trust, a slogan that could turn around McCain&#039;s campaign?

Change you can trust contrasts beautifully with change you can believe in.

Everyone wants change, only with a team that we can trust to implement it.
If you&#039;re in a tough spot, you want someone to come to help you that you can trust, not someone you believe may want to help you.

John McCain, polls show, is rated as highly qualified and highly trusted.  This slogan, change you can trust, reinforces this message.

It can even be added on to John McCainâ€™s current slogan.  Country first, change you can trust.  Or perhaps Change you can trust that puts Country first.  Or how about Change you can trust that puts America first

It implies without directly saying it that the other side is perhaps a little less trustworthy.

It also reinforces the message that in a time we were facing battle with Al Qaeda worldwide and two conventional wars, John McCain is a commander in chief you can trust to lead us to victory.

There are 30 days left before Election Day.  Sarah Palinâ€™s debate performance was good, but it&#039;s really up to John McCain to win.

CHANGE You Can TRUST

CHANGE You Can TRUST to put COUNTRY FIRST

CHANGE You Can TRUST to put AMERICA FIRST

CHANGE  -  TRUST
 COUNTRY FIRST

John, are you listening???

		<description>I&#039;m a McCain supporter, but his move is pure politics.  We&#039;re forty days out from an election and everything McCain and Obama have done for the past year (at least) has been political.  They are both politicians.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But OK - If the economy is a sick child, the child is already in the hospital. The problem is that we donâ€™t know which type; is it a U.S. hospital, an HMO, or one of those great facilities in Cuba?&lt;/i&gt;

Well, according to Obama, it doesn&#039;t matter; he figures if the quality of the hospital his child is in is important, he&#039;ll find out about it eventually, and anyway, he has a TV appearance to make.

McCain is going back and checking out the hospital instead.

What this makes really obvious is that Obama doesn&#039;t care about the US economy; he cares about his own television appearances and self-aggrandizement. Not that this is a surprise to anyone who&#039;s seen how Obama has never let a job, not the least of which being a Senator, interfere with his own self-promotion, but it&#039;s still nice to see it being made so publicly obvious.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Everyone of you with your readier-than-thou pronouncements on McCainâ€™s leadership are basically saying that he canâ€™t have a foreign policy debate at the same time he discusses a bill.........So if the country ever faces more than one crisis at a time, McCain will make them take turns?&lt;/i&gt;

Actually, what McCain is saying is that he&#039;s not going to waste time with the small stuff when there are bigger things that require his attention.

Contrast that with Obama, who is screaming that this is the greatest financial crisis ever to hit this country since the Great Depression.....but not so important that he would actually have to go back and do his job instead of mugging for the cameras.

So which is more important, torrentprime; the financial crisis, or appearing on TV? McCain says the former, Obama says the latter. Good to know that, when Iran drops an atomic bomb on Tel Aviv, Obama won&#039;t let it interfere with his appearance on Letterman.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So if the country ever faces more than one crisis at a time, McCain will make them take turns?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Even if your asininity were true, it would still beat the hell out of a candidate skipping out on the job he was already elected to do. I&#039;d have respect if both candidates went to Washington, however, only one did. So guess what?


&lt;blockquote&gt;after the FBI gets done with it. bush goes to jail.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Because God knows, the liberals will never be held accountable for their crimes. Chris &quot;Countrywide&quot; Dodd will probably be the nominee in 2012. Buying mansions with slumlords will be par for the course.

And, once again, the liberals f*ck us over and Bush takes the heat while they walk. Sounds like the last 8 years.</description>

All other campaigns for the past 30 years have used either the same  color for both names, or reversed the back/foreground colors</description>

		<description>First of all, I say do a Bretton Woods Conference of the G 7 and figure out a way for international liquidity. There is no way we need the federal government involved in what would be 700 billion dollars of what will end up being fraud and corruption and a holy mess. As for housing/mortgages, clean the snakes out of Fannie/Freddie and do work outs on mortgages for home owners. If need be do 40 and 50 year mortgages, FHA loans and get on with it. 

Let an international agreement be arrived at for liquidity and find a way for borrowing to be unclogged regarding the Fed funding discount window. 

McCain looks like a leader in action (I agree that his Friday speech should have been his Monday starting speech and quite frankly Governor Palin&#039;s Saturday speech in Florida hit the right cords on all issues and McCain should have used it on Monday)

In any event, Nobama is playing the present card by screaming the sky is falling but I am going to go out and play rather then deal with real issues (lets face it Nobama  is bored easily and doesn&#039;t like to get his hands dirty and much prefers in basking in the glory of praised heaped on him by the MSM as the Messiah and the thrill of crowds. He looks like Nero with Rome burning and the MSM are his eunuchs feeding his ego. 

I truly hope that McCain stands up and says this 700 billion dollar mess just ain&#039;t flying. Then comes up with a call for the Finance Ministers (like they did at the end of WWII) come together and figure out sensible rules to allow liquidity in the market and let the market forces work. Create liquidity and the market will find a way to deal with buying up the loans...create work outs on loans with refinances and help stem the mess of mortgages gone wild. 

Every time I read about this plan, I feel like American capitalism has been thrown over board for Marxism and socialism and I hope that McCain and the adults in Congress in the GOP (you can&#039;t count on most of the Dems for that) and the capitalists stand up and put Country First!!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Thatâ€™s a bit like saying that you canâ€™t take your unconscious child to the emergency room because the other one needs to go to soccer practice â€” and then patting yourself on the back for multitasking.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s really not a good analogy. But OK - If the economy is a sick child, the child is already in the hospital. The problem is that we don&#039;t know which type; is it a U.S. hospital, an HMO, or one of those great facilities in Cuba?</description>

		<description>Given the amount of money involved and the real possibility that the economy could tank, it seems to me that the people of Arizona and Illinois would want their guys on the scene - political debate or not.

Once this awful plan is worked out, I want McCain and Obama on the record (I suppose they could vote &quot;present&quot;).

McCain and Obama are still drawing a paycheck so it seems reasonable that they show up for work now and then. (Does anyone know the last time Barry showed up?) There&#039;s nothing that could happen at this debate that can&#039;t wait.</description>

		<description>Everyone of you with your readier-than-thou pronouncements on McCain&#039;s leadership are basically saying that he can&#039;t have a foreign policy debate at the same time he discusses a bill. That&#039;s what this boils down to: One discussion + one debate = brain splodes! So if the country ever faces more than one crisis at a time, McCain will make them take turns?

If that&#039;s the message you want to go out with on your candidate, feel free. The country is listening. (And based on the polls, already making up its mind for Obama.)</description>

		<description>Sherrod Brown said his office has been swamped with people saying not only no, but Hell no! to the bail out.

I tried to call @ 3:30, gave up after 15 minutes on hold.</description>
