Does anybody else find it deliciously ironic that McCain is running ads on The Oil Drum?
Hey, if you are a McCain staffer checking on the blogs that you run adds on listen up...
You need to read this site well and reconsider.
Your candidate is making a complete fool of himself!
The McCoin does not understand economics or finances, as he freely admits.
Not that any of them really do, but you are misquoting him. He said it wasn't his "strong point". He probably meant more polictically than he did in terms of knowledge of economics.
And yet, isn't he one of the richer members of Congress?
Well - for sure he has one of the wealthiest spouses. Kinda like Hillary I suppose.

OK, his strong point is being a WARMONGER. And establishing himself as a stupid WARMONGER means he is even stupider on economics.
Google ads run off key words and phrases...we don't have a lot of control over what runs...
