| The Ghost of RubangB said: Neither McCain or Obama have any say on this bailout. They are not on the senate banking committee. McCain should shut up and let them handle it. He can bitch and moan all he wants. He's supposed so. That's his job. And then he votes on it. He doesn't get to storm into Washington to save the day. He's going there for a photo op. Also, the Huffington Post called the McCain campaign centers in 15 battleground states today, and all 15 said they're not suspending their campaigning. And they're still accepting donations, and still running commercials, and McCain was on CBS yesterday instead of Letterman, and today he's speaking in New York. Seriously, he hasn't suspended a thing except his appearance on Letterman, and he's just trying to postpone the debate to cancel Palin's debate, because apparently, the media hasn't had enough of a blackout on her. All we get is a new interview where she talks about how close she is to Russia. Again. And defends her stance that she has foreign policy experience. They're trying to hide her until November. |
Totally agreed that neither one should have any kind of say.
McCain's whole move was just a ploy as demonstrated by many of the facts you posted if they are true.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
