yea, why don't you mention that Bubba signed that baby into law... no,no, no, it was all mccain. And by the way the man who was the head of treasury at that time said there was no correlation between that law and the current economic troubles. Also he was a democrat (I am just applying your Carl Rove logic).

 

I agree in the sense that it really doesn't matter anyways who caused the problem, as both parties had a substantial hand in it. Republicans may have had a slightly larger hand for the sole reason that they controlled Congress for a pretty long period of time. Clinton did sign the deregulation into law.

Hindsight is 20/20, so it is hard to blame either party for something that wasn't entirely foreseeable. Republicans had a majority in Congress too when McCain couldn't re-regulate (sounds so weird), so the Republican party didn't warm up to the idea either.

I just don't think McCain suspending his campaign is going to do any good for the American public, and may even cause more harm than good by turning this into a political battle. I think it is a politically calculated move more than anything. I think McCain is a good guy, but the intentions behind suspending his campaign are mixed at best.

 

 

I agree with you completely. Even the part about Mccain not running a perfect campaign. I hate partison politics. I am not a republican I am just a finance guy, and I am a major fiscal conservative. I wish we would have just listen to Washinton and not gone with the 2 party system.

I also think most of the stuff they can't settle in the House should be sent to the states for Referandum(spelling?)... That would be a major step from a republic and towards democracy.

I just get frustrated when people don't see the problems with Obama too.

 

I never said he was perfect. I initially went for Hillary, but after seeing her attacking Obama for no reason but to win, I bailed on her. Is he perfect? Of course not. I don't like the way he flip-flopped on the Iraq war and when to bring them home, I don't like how he caved and went along with the offshore drilling and I don't think he is compassionate as he could be and really, really needs to be.

However, when I look at the alternative - McCain who has Phil Gramm telling him what to do on economic matters (Phail) vs. Clinton's former financial secretary (a whiz), McCain who has Palin that's nothing more than a bundle of fun but hasn't been grilled yet like the rest of the candidates and faces an abuse of power charge, McCain who can call Obama an elitist when though Obama owns just one house and one hybrid vs. John's 13 cars in 7 houses and who said the economy is fundamentally strong. But really, what about retirement? His stance on staying in Iraq for 100 years? His campaign dude taking money from Freddie Mac and McCain was clueless on it and "He didn't take money."
