Does John McCain Keep His Campaign Promises?

You should be running the debate tonight if you have questions this difficult for Obama too.

You realize John McCain is not the POTUS yet, right? And he has promised to VETO ALL earmarks that come across his desk. The bailout plan is vastly different than the junk programs that get millions of dollars from tax payers every day. The American people asked for it. Earmarks are presented to people whether they want them or not. And from a senator who has never, once, in his career accepted or voted for any earmarks, you better believe he will live up to that promise. His track record makes him believable on this end.

I don't recall him "promising" to deliver the names of anyone. I think he said that the people had a right to know. And all you have to do is Google it and you will find out who voted yea or nay on that bill in each state.

He said he wanted a clean campaign with no attack ads, he didn't say he wouldn't run them if something necessitated them. The "Still" ad from the Obama camp was the last straw. Gloves came off then.

I haven't heard him making any outrageous campaign promises. He's been a realist throughout this entire campaign. That's why some people don't like him. Obama, however, makes a campaign promise at least once a day.

in case you look back by using the heritage of presidential campaigns you'll locate that maximum applicants shop way below 0.5 their delivers--of route maximum of them promise something that's too obscure to benefit on or they promise to 'artwork with Congress' to do X, because X is something all of us opt for thus it truly is sturdy to assert to get elected, even with the undeniable fact that the actuality of doing X and the skill to get Congress to comply with a similar element purely isn't there. So the delivers are frequently purely issues that sound sturdy once you opt for to get elected yet aren't any further issues that could want to fairly be finished in our modern-day political equipment. As for McCain promising to deliver jobs to the ecu or increasing wars (and that i confess i have not heard a lot about any specifics from any of the applicants at the moment) no man or woman fairly has to vow to deliver jobs remote places--very wealthy companies like getting richer, so sending jobs to places that pay workers a lot less is an effortless thanks to get richer--word that when a business business enterprise strikes its centers remote places the fee of their products in no way is going down even even with the actuality that they are paying a small area of what they used to pay for exertions--all that extra funds now is going into their wallet. as long as different countries enable their workers to be paid almost no longer something and performance to artwork in risky circumstances there is not any preventing US organizations from shifting over there.

Whoa partner, before you get your butt in a ditther, think about what your just accused the Republicans of, then check back at the facts.

You will find that the Democraps are far more guilty of 'pork barrel spending" than any repub. And their famous for one Robert Byrd the largest pork barrel artist ever born.

This latest fiasco with the added pork is mostly, again, Democraps, and if McCain were to start to make his position known at this time, he would no doubt be accused of election mud slinging, as you're trying to do now.

And FYI, the Republicans are kown for keeping their word far more than the opposition party, and history will confirm this fact.

Well lets find out if he keeps them or not. Within 12 months of taking office as the President I think you will see those promises coming through.

You have no idea what conservatism is about. 70% of Conservatives voted against government intervention into private banking debts. The so-called sweeteners included the 66+ Democrats who voted against the first bailout. Please know thy enemy before opening your mouth.

Great point! talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk
