I was for McCain for a long time, but I have lost all respect for the guy. I honestly believe that he would sell his own mother in order to be President. This move was nothing more than attempt to move up in the polls, not to fix the problems. He is in a panic mode !!!

    The more Obama appears in the media, the better for McCain. Place them next to each other, and Obama reveals that he is only image--and a false one at that. Appearances are deceiving. He might attempt to "look" presidential, but a President must be more than impressive in appearance. He lacks experience and the qualifications necessary for the position--and it showed last night, and it will show in the next debate. "You can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."

    It shows the bailout has other better options.

    I knew McCain would have to admit that a President should be able to handle a debate on Friday night after the congress goes home without a deal. Staying in Washington and wringing his hands or threatening to bomb Iran will not solve anything. Of course, shutting down the entire government except the war and a couple of entitlements won't solve anything either.

    The debate, as much as I could stand to watch, was by two people who are not qualified to be President, each boasting about being better than the other. At least once in a while one would say that they agreed with the other, "But...."

    This was a bad week for McCain, and I think a bad performance tonight could all but kill his chances at winning the Presidency. As much as I've railed against this version of John McCain, I actually feel a little bad for the old fart. I mean, he once had a reputation as an honorable and decent man (honorable and decent as far as politicians go), but thanks to his turning coat to win an election, his legacy is now forever tarnished. And his legacy is what's most important to him. That said... I couldn't be happier that he and his campaign are imploding right now. They (McCain/Palin) are not what this struggling nation needs right now.

    I bet mccain tries to stay off the economy entirely though and heads headlong into forgien affairs.. its his area of experties.. both of their 'games' may be off though (but mccain has more memory to pull on it seems from what Iv heard) due to the last 48 hours...... BUT Iv also seen mccain make alot of memory errors so we will see.
  • raves +6   [-] April replied to HairlessKats Oversoul
    I am not sure about that on the foreign policies because Obama can really go after him and tie him to Bush on Iraq. He might not want to open the door on that one either.
  • raves +8   [-] HairlessKats Oversoul replied to April
    good point.. I just hate to get my hopes to high.. the last 48 hours have been so clarifying to me of what kind of a person McCain would be as a president not to mention how they are doign with palin.. its crystal clear to me that this guy is a more loose cannon than any Iv ever seen.. but... I dont know we will see.
  • raves +1   [-] Citizen Phil replied to HairlessKats Oversoul
    There were two loose cannons on the platform.
  • raves +5   [-] SLC_X replied to HairlessKats Oversoul
    I get where you are coming from, but McCain had better be on his game tonight, as he has looked very frustrated and worn-down as of late. This campaign has taken a mighty toll on him both mentally and physically... and it's showing.
  • raves +7   [-] HairlessKats Oversoul replied to SLC_X
    agreed.... the 'veil' is lifting and people are seeing its time to overcome our fear and face the shadows so the light can shine through them.. the fall equinox just passed and balace is being restored.. praying for a good outcome tonight and more eyes opened.
  • raves +5   [-] SLC_X replied to HairlessKats Oversoul
    Something about your post just caused me to get really excited about tonight's debate. Let's both pray that it turns out to be the "eye-opener" we need.

    Now that John McCain has single-handedly almost resolved the crisis, we have the pleasure of listening to all the brilliant ideas he will expound upon at the debate tonight! Leaves me breathless . . .

    Whats with the Obama picture you fear monger... anyway McDeregulation threw a hail mary trying to trick folks into thinking he had something to do with the bill making headway. Too bad he isn't even on the banking committee meaning he didn't do shit, but take photos to make himself look good. John “Czechoslovakia” McCain has lost this election and there is nothing you can do about it... this blog is evidence of that.

    Did he really have a choice? I don't think his attempt at avoiding the debates did his campaign much good, however, no matter what his reasons.
