McCain “cuts and runs” from debates

lol

 

seems like mcain needs more time to learn what the debate might entail

 

lol

 

McCain is acting like a leader by putting the politics down to do his job a legislator. He's not standing back like Obama and saying call me if you need me. Obama has no clue on how to do the right thing.

Those aren't McCain's policies that got this country in this mess...it is the democrats and their lets give out money to people who can't pay it back and force those who work hard to pay for it. They aren't McCain's or Bush's...we have a democratic Congress, friends trying to blame everyone else for their own actions. They passed the laws.

 

The republicans hate regulations.They prefer to fuck us in the dark.

 

Do you honestly think John McCain has any clue about how to do the right thing? The Democrats have only had their majorities in Congress for two years, and the majorities are very thin. The mess we are in took longer than two years to create, and by forcing business men to obey many new government regulations.

This is a Republican mess. It can only be solved by forcing the rich to pay massive tax increases, and by passing many more government regulations for private businesses. We need make an about face, and a forward march from the horrible mistake made in 1980 by electing Ronald Reagan.

 

Mccain is cornored and running like a cowardly dog. He is a clueless bufoon who has helped lead the country into this mess with his deregulation mantra and doesn't want Obama to call him on it. Plus there is a good likelihood that by postponing the Presidential debate the repubes may hope to stall or not have palin in a debate at all. Neither mccain or palin have a clue about which end is up. What a joke they are.

 

John McCain is bailing out of the debates, just like he bailed out over North Vietnam.
:cheers2:

 

disappointing for sure

 

Unfortunately, they are exactly McCain's policies that got this country in this mess... his and every other Bush republican... deregulation is something the Republicans have always pushed for citing it will boost the economy... it didn't work... Without oversite and regulation, loans were given away to millions of people who could not afford them.

The reason McCain does not want to have these debates is because in this heated time there will be questions to McCain about these regulatory Acts that he voted for. Isn't it rather convenient that he thinks now is the time... this Friday is the time to go back... this failing of the economy started weeks ago and they have both missed tons of congress in-session during their campaign times...

This is from wiki... if you want to look it up on something else, do so...

Financial deregulation

In 1999, McCain voted for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which passed in the Senate by a vote of 54-44.[49] The deregulation bill loosened restrictions on the activities of banks, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. In 2002 he voted for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which passed the Senate without opposition.[50] In 2007, however, McCain stated that he regretted his vote in favor of Sarbanes-Oxley,[51] which strengthened financial reporting requirements for publicly held companies but which has been the subject of complaints from businesses.
In 2008, McCain expressed approval of the results of financial deregulation by pointing to it as a model for health care policy, writing: "Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation."[52]
Later in 2008, in the wake of the widely publicized crises involving the insurance company American International Group and the brokerage houses Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, McCain stated: "In my administration, we're going to hold people on Wall Street responsible. And we're going to enact and enforce reforms to make sure that these outrages never happen in the first place."

Thats some creepy shit Duck...I've always wondered if bushco had any intention of giving up the controls of the country. With minds like rove/cheney and others in powerwe may never see a free election again.

 

Strictly posturing on his part, and a lame attempt to help Bush push his panic bailout/sellout through. Plus he and Palin both need time to put together teleprompter notes. He's as necessary to the process in Washington right now as Palin is to the UN. Maybe, just maybe this may be one time when he's in Washington to vote. He hasn't seen it as a high priority in the past.

Interesting take on where this bailout is leading:

you all seem to forget that the democrats talked loudly about standing up to bush. but when it came down to it they all backed down like spineless weaklings. coughnancy pelosicough anybody who thinks this mess is only the republicans fault needs a rude awakening. what about diane feinstein's hubby's war profitering? by the way, amy godman is a leftgate keeper.

 

how can anybody in their right mind not see that both of these men are clueless?

 

I think you hit the nail on the head. Pure politics. While Obama is worried about his Presidential campaign, McCain is in Washington trying to help figure out how to get this country back on its feet. (Is the message I think he is trying to send). If anybody really thinks that McCain shut down his campaign, they better get their head checked. I also don't think this decision was made out of fear. I think if people diversified their reading they would see another angle to this. My opinion.

I was really looking forward to Obama stuttering through an answer that leads to nothing but the clock running out, and McCain relating everything to being a POW in Vietnam. Oh well. May have to wait a couple of days.

 

Mccain should be ashamed of himself for making an excessive amount of propaganda messages for the north vietnamese. just as his father should be ashamed for trying to cover up the attack on the uss liberty.

 

This does nothing more than save the McCain campaign money. And buy him and Palin time to be briefed. If he votes for this it will be one of the few votes he's cast this year including the one to increase veterans benefits for which he wasn't present and didn't vote.

If anyone of the congress votes for this they should have their heads checked. This is a lame duck administration and to grant this sort of control over our economy is reckless at the least.

I am definitely tired of being told to diversify and buy derivatives. I'd rather put my money under the mattress than invest in more debts and undercapitalized investment.

And yeah I was really waiting to hear more war stories from McCain.
