Comments on: McCain's Economic Advisers Draw Fire

Washington Post: Democratic Opponents Are Plotting Attacks On Phil Gramm And Carly Fiorina

People tend to forget that McCain was at the center of the plundering of the savings and loans, that cost the taxpayer billions of dollars in bailouts.

The man may not understand economics, but he understands very well how to kissy up to the rich and curry favors.

We can''t afford to have a clown like this as president.

Vote McBush: four more wars. If McCain is allowed to come anywhere near the White House, we are in deep trouble. I don''t think there is almost anything about him that resembles a smart decent human being. I don''t think he has any idea that is good for the common person. Kind of like Bush all over again. Except this time, we are already in a downward spiral disaster.

McCain at 72 years of age is well within the age of reason - in fact from some of his remarks he appears to have exceeded it...

"We are here today to repeal Glass-Steagall, because we have learned that government is not the answer," Gramm declared at the time. "We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom."

And yet, the contrarian effect to allow industry consolidation--and then a type of monopoly that sought exemption from the Sherman Antitrust Act. How is it that competition and freedom is served by allowing reckless business activites that result in a meltdown? Regulation of an industry protects the consumer--even if is constrains growth it provides stability of the markets.

McCain is plainly and simply senile.

Well, McCain''s incompetence is much more a factor than his age. It took him only a few months to run his $30M campaign into the ground. Good thing that McCain has 50 years of Washington insider status--he can recap his campaign with his military and telecom lobbyists. McCain 2008. More Wars. Less Jobs.
