mccain __PUNCT__ sure __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ but you did it indirectli __PUNCT__ so let me ask you for some straight talk __PUNCT__

do you think that senat obama is a socialist __PUNCT__ do you think that hi plan ar social __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ i think hi plan ar redistribut of the wealth __PUNCT__

he said it himself __PUNCT__ we need to spread the wealth around __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ that on of __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ is that social __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ that on of the tenet of social __PUNCT__

but it more the liber left __PUNCT__ which he alwai been on __PUNCT__

he alwai been in the left lane of american_polit __PUNCT__

that why he vote___NUM__ __NUM___time against ani tax_cut or for tax_increas __PUNCT__

that why he vote for the democrat resolut __PUNCT__ budget resolut __PUNCT__ that would impos tax on __PUNCT__ rais_tax on some individu who make___MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

that why he ha the most liber vote_record in the unit_state state_senat __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ but __PUNCT__ senat __PUNCT__ when we talk __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ so is on of the tenet of social redistribut of the wealth __PUNCT__ not just social __PUNCT__ a lot of other liber and left wing philosophi __PUNCT__ redistribut of the wealth __PUNCT__ i don't believ in it __PUNCT__

i believ in wealth_creation by joe the plumber __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ but __PUNCT__ senat __PUNCT__ you vote for the __MONEY___billion bailout that be us partial to nation american bank __PUNCT__

isn't that social __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ that is react to a crisi that due to greed and excess in washington __PUNCT__

and what thi administr is do wrong __PUNCT__ and what paulson is do wrong __PUNCT__ is not go out and bui up home_loan mortgag __PUNCT__ home_mortgag __PUNCT__ and give peopl new mortgag at the new valu of their home so thei can stai in their home __PUNCT__

thei bail out the bank __PUNCT__

thei bale out these institut __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ but you vote for that __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ of cours __PUNCT__

it wa a packag that had to be enact becaus the economi wa about to go into the tank __PUNCT__

dure the __PUNCT__ dure the depress __PUNCT__ we had a program to take care __PUNCT__ where thei went out and bought homeown __PUNCT__ mortgag __PUNCT__ and then over time thei even made_monei as the valu of home began to increas __PUNCT__

if we don't turn __PUNCT__ the hous_market wa the catalyst __PUNCT__ the greed and excess __PUNCT__ and fanni_mae and freddi __PUNCT__ which some of us propos_legisl to rein in __PUNCT__ the democrat were in charg of congress for most six __PUNCT__ for the last coupl of year __PUNCT__ and thei did not act __PUNCT__ and so __PUNCT__ and senat_obama did not act __PUNCT__

but the point is that __PUNCT__ of cours __PUNCT__ when a __PUNCT__ when a __PUNCT__ that the reason why we have govern __PUNCT__ to help those who need help __PUNCT__ who can't help themselv __PUNCT__ and when time of crisi to step in and do what necessari to preserv the live and futur of innoc_peopl __PUNCT__

it wasn't main_street america that caus thi __PUNCT__

the fact that senat_obama would not repudi that statement __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ is someth the american_peopl will make a judgment about __PUNCT__

that robo call is accur __PUNCT__ is total accur __PUNCT__

and there is no comparison between it and the thing that were done and said in south_carolina __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ sure __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ but when we come back __PUNCT__ we talk issu __PUNCT__ we talk process __PUNCT__ we talk sarah_palin and what america will look like under presid_obama or presid mccain __PUNCT__

back from ohio in just a moment __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ commerci break __PUNCT__ wallac __PUNCT__ and we back now on the campaign_trail in the battleground_state of ohio with our exclus guest __PUNCT__ senat_john john_mccain __PUNCT__

senat __PUNCT__ on anoth sundai talk_show __PUNCT__ gener colin_powel ha just said that he go to vote for barack_obama __PUNCT__

he sai he meet the standard of be a success presid __PUNCT__

he sai that senat_mccain is unsur about how to deal with the economi __PUNCT__ and he doe not feel that sarah_palin is readi to be command in chief __PUNCT__

your reaction __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ i alwai admir and respect gener powel __PUNCT__

we longtim_friend __PUNCT__

thi doesn't come as a surpris __PUNCT__

but i also veri pleas to have the endors of four former secretari of state __PUNCT__ secretari kissing __PUNCT__ baker __PUNCT__ eagleburg and haig __PUNCT__

and i proud to have the endors of well over __NUM__ retir armi gener and admir __PUNCT__

but i respect and continu to respect and admir secretari powel __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ just briefli __PUNCT__ though __PUNCT__ on of the kei line of your campaign ha been that obama not readi to lead __PUNCT__

here is colin_powel sai he is __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ again __PUNCT__ we have a veri __PUNCT__ we have a respect disagr __PUNCT__ and i think the american_peopl will pai close_attent to our messag for the futur and keep america_secur __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ if barack_obama is elect_presid with bigger __PUNCT__ and it look like that that what go to happen __PUNCT__ democrat_major in the hous and the senat __PUNCT__ how will thing be differ in thi countri by the end of hi first term __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ we know that the major_leader __PUNCT__ harri_reid __PUNCT__ and speaker nanci_pelosi __PUNCT__ ar alreadi plan on new big spend packag __PUNCT__ tax_increas __PUNCT__ alreadi __PUNCT__ so i __PUNCT__ i think you see anoth spend_spree __PUNCT__ and i think tax will go up __PUNCT__ and i don't think that it will be good for america __PUNCT__

i think we could drive __PUNCT__ and of cours __PUNCT__ as we know __PUNCT__ protection is not good for america __PUNCT__

senat_obama believ that in mani wai __PUNCT__ certainli __PUNCT__ when he said he want to unilater renegoti the north_american free_trade_agreement __PUNCT__

so i worri about the economi of the countri __PUNCT__ particularli at thi difficult_time __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ you sai that obama tax_plan amount to welfar becaus he give refund tax_credit __PUNCT__ in effect __PUNCT__ check __PUNCT__ to __NUM__ percent of american who don't pai ani incom_tax __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ feder_incom_tax __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ obama point out that no on will receiv on of these refund check if thei aren't at least pai payrol_tax __PUNCT__ social_secur tax __PUNCT__

and your health_care_plan would also give these refund check to that same __NUM__ percent who don't pai incom_tax __PUNCT__ feder_incom_tax __PUNCT__

so if hi plan is welfar __PUNCT__ isn't your __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ the differ is that we need to provid __PUNCT__ it a fundament requir to give peopl the chanc to have afford and avail health_insur __PUNCT__ or the option is to go into a big_govern govern_program such as we have in canada __PUNCT__ in england and other __PUNCT__

american right now ar without health_insur __PUNCT__

thei need to get it __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ let talk about the first __NUM___dai of a mccain presid __PUNCT__

you sai that it would not be polit as usual in washington __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__

wallac __PUNCT__ and you call it a far left agenda __PUNCT__

i think you agre the democrat ar like to increas their hold in both the hous and senat __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ afraid you mai be right __PUNCT__

thei ar __PUNCT__ the democrat had a major in the hous and senat when ronald_reagan came to offic in __NUM__ __PUNCT__
