Comments on: John McCain On The Politics Of Finance

CBS Evening News Exclusive: Couric Asks McCain About The Moves He's Making To Mend The Fiscal Crisis

[terrapin78]

Tax cut and trickle down. That is all he knows.

[jab232]

McCain''s interview on CBS was just another part of his grandstanding. John McCain got what he wanted. On the afternoon when the president of the United States had announced he would be giving the most important address of his presidency, arguably one of the most important presidential addresses of the last thirty years, the media was talking about John McCain canceling his campaign. McCain was grandstanding and it worked. I think people should rise up and tell John McCain, This is not about you! It''s about all those people on main street who are hurting because the "deregulate everything" types like you and Phil Gramm helped make the whole mess happen. I would remind John McCain, he is not president yet. He shouldn''t grandstand on the president and on the people who are doing the real work. There was going to be a time when McCain and Obama had to be brought in to support this, but the president and the negotiators needed to tell them when to come. Neither of them is president yet. McCain needed the spotlight so he held a press conference and put presidential politics into something that should be non-partisan. I hope this grandstanding is the last nail in the coffin of John McCain''s presidential ambitions. The debates should go on!

This is what this country gets!!!! This country had this financial disaster coming!!!! All you rich people who supported not just the first Bush but both Bush''''''''es. This country allowed Bush to cheat during the election and now the chickens are coming home to roost!!!!! Dont cry now America!!!! Awww we want a new president. What is the new president gonna do? Huh? What? This country is so deep in debt that the next two presidents wont be able to get us out!!!!! The problem with this country is the people who really run this country (american citizens) or are supposed to run this country have no backbone and accepts whatever the government tells them. REVOLUTION PEOPLE!!!!! REVOLUTION!!!!!!!! If the american citizen woke up and realized how much power he or she has then this MODERN DAY SLAVERY WOULDNT TAKE PLACE!!!!!

If this is a "crisis" that DEMANDS a couple of TRILLION of TAXPAYER DOLLARS then WHY is the STOCK MARKET UP nearly 200 points??

Might the PROFITEERING PIRATES be ANTICIPATING the RAPING of the taxpayer to THEIR BENEFIT?

My goodness! The USA is full of PARROTS! Baby Parrots, at that! %u201CHe did this,%u201D %u201Cshe did that%u201D! There have possibly been three lines worth reading, but it is repeated over and over and over%u2026you get my drift? No facts about voting records %u2013 true facts that are available online. No facts about the work ethic of a candidate %u2013 true research. No facts about what a candidate%u2019s character is like. No facts about the benefits derived from a candidate%u2019s position. I hear parrots, parrots, and more parrots! AND, lazy parrots at that! Feed them any line and they parrot! Polly want a cracker?!!!
Have you really checked out the beliefs of your candidate? Do they love America, and show it? Do they exhibit %u201CChristian%u201D behavior? What are his/her projects and the results, the benefits, the failures? Have you researched their voting records? What were the benefits/failures? These men/women aren%u2019t 14 with no past. What have they done or have been doing with their lives for the time before elections or in private? Not just in Congress, but on the whole? Who do they associate with? Great minds seek great minds. Your character is built day-by-day, year-by-year.
Wakeup! Quit being a parrot! Shove off all attempts to be influenced by the media, the press, your friends or family. Study to show you have some sense, some knowledge, some wisdom! Then, vote.

Things are getting "INTERESTING"!

People are ACTUALLY getting off their couches, and out of their cubicles and TAKING TO THE STREETS to PROTEST this "final gift" from King George to his PROFITEERING PIRATE CRONIES!

[jmurrieta11]

"John McCain: ''Cause these are extraordinary times. The financial crisis is on the verge of a very, very serious, most serious crisis since the end of World War II."


And just two weeks ago this genius was telling us everything was OK.

Sure doesn''t know much, does he?

And Bush Baby Palin is even more ignorant. Maybe her witch hunter preacher can fill her in.

[wwchi]

McCain says to Katie Couric about the economy "to tell the american people that things are just fine, well that would be outright deception"...HELLO????? WHAT DID HE SAY LAST WEEK? THE FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR ECONOMY ARE STRONG??? He just called himself a liar!

[mham9]

McCain has a lot of experience with bailouts. Keating 5 is all his. Keep him as far away of the final legislation as possible.

[oscarez]

McCain and Palin have come to understand that the U.S. voter is always open to buying a pig in a poke with or without lipstick. Debates will show how incompetent they are so they are not going to debate. Smart move. Anyone with half a brain will see this move for what it is a pig in a poke. What I don''t understand is why a Clinton supporter,against there own interest, would vote for McCain! Is it because Obama is black or Palin is white woman?

[DCropp]

Yesterday afternoon, McCain says America is a terrible crisis and he suspends his campaign.

Tick, tick, tick...
McCain says he has to rush back to Washington immediately for this crisis.

Tick, tick, tick...
McCain stays in New York City and attends some of his scheduled events.

Tick, tick, tick...
McCain spends the night in New York City and attends an event in New York City today before he will fly to Washington.

[incog-nito]

Sarah Rocks! Sarah is going to tear Biden and Obama''''s nuts off! The libs are scared and should be!

Posted by sexistmsnbc at 09:57 AM : Sep 25, 2008

You are funny (without realizing it). McCain has also asked to delay and possibly cancel the VP debate too. Yeah they''re really looking forward to it.

[incog-nito]

Obviously the cons are more interested in McCain''s political maneuvering than actually dealing with any substantive issue. Yeah, Palin, smart move. Yeah, delay the debate, smart move. Yeah.

[sandy19731]

The debate answer is obvious. Let the Vice-Presidential candidates debate on Friday and the Presidential candidates on the other date.

TA DA!

[citizenusa-2009]

This is so absurd, it''s almost comical! We are in the midst of FINANCIAL COLLAPSE and WE CONTINUE TO FUNNEL TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO IRAQ! The solution to fixing this mess is RIGHT THERE!!!! OMG!!!

[longleg_girl]

He''s chicken to let the cat out of the bag (Palin)! So he wants to run away now from debates?? He has a right to be nervous over what she may say. If it is not written right in front of her, she may very well stick her foot in her mouth, which McSame knows and that scares the poor ol'' man. Actually, he would benefit from some speech classes himself. If he doesn''t blow his chances, she definitely will do it for him...LOL...I can''t wait until she crashes! Such entertainment! Does he reallt think we Americans don''t know what he is trying to pull here???

[sallievoter]

speaking of the weird GOP obsession with muslims,
check out the Palin Kenya voodoo video that came out yesterday----can you say scary???
Bet mccain did not see this before picking her...
