Comments on: UPDATED: McCain Suspends Campaign

[mattcat25]

The Republicans cleared the way for revelry to take place within the various markets sighting Free Market Deregulation. The money has been taken and they are gone! Now, the same Republicans are attempting to backfill lost revenues with your tax payer money.

What will Barack Obama do?
Well first and foremost by not re-electing the same people that have pilfered the wealth (in many different ways) from the masses will be a start to economic recovery.

Stop the bleeding first, then begin the healing.

Will all the Obama experts here please tell us exactly what he will do to save the economy? And tell us what the Republicans did to cause this mess? Please, this is a serious question.

You have all thrown insults out. nomolies makes a good point, can we make points of fact here or do we keep bickering until Nov 4th?

This is obvious attempt by McCain to turn the attention away from issues with the economy...its a Stund...Palin has hidden from the press and McCain does not want to debate because he knows he will slip further because of his ties to George Bush. Besides where is Bush? He is the President should he show a more interest..guess not.. What a mess. I would care if Obama does not go along with this he would still be the best Leader for our country.

We don''t need you to run to the rescue of your rich buddies who own and operate all these banks John, we don''t need you to help dig the hole YOU and your Republican friends dug so deep with YOUR deregulation ideas even deeper! the deregulation YOU greedy Republican IDIOTS lobbied hard for. No McCain what the American people need, the people you so mistakenly refer to as "my friends" what WE need you to do is to STAY AWAY FROM OUR MONEY, stay OUT of Washington and to keep your hands OFF our money. Nice try running and hiding from Obama too, you can run McCain but you can''t hide. Why don''t you just suspend your campaign for good, we don''t need you and your kind, you are the ones who got America INTO this mess, you are the last ones we need to get us out. NO BAIL OUT FOR THE RICH REPUBLICANS!!!

OH NO!!!! I just had this vision........"a sinking ship,,,,, half the passengers screaming to run to the front, the other half screaming run to the back!" the effing life boats are stowed in the middle! couldn''t we just stop screaming insults long enough to realize that the middle of the boat is the america we all love. in my 51 years i have never seen it this partisan. FOLKS....... our country is dying and you dumb *** won''t stop pointing fingers long enough to even lay 1 positive idea out for discussion. I"M SCARED!! scared for my family, my business, my employees and their families. OH NO!!!

Why didn''t he go when the crisis started. Oh yeah, he had to take Caribou Barbie to the UN to get some face time. This guy is a joke.

Listen to you "Country be damned, we need a debate!". Keep drinking the karl marx flavored kool-aid guys.

Obama has slithered away from McCain''s invite to tour the country for townhall style meetings. If not Friday, they will debate soon and I''m looking forward to BHO speaking without a teleprompter.

Change the debate to domestic issues? Please do. Let''s talk about Barney Frank and the other Democrat''s success turning Freddie and Fannie into a cess pool of bad debt all in the name of political correctness. Why hasn''t Waxman screamed for hearings on this one? You know why, there''s no Republicans to put on trial, just Democrats.

McCain is a "Class Act"...He is correct to return to DC to work and vote on our "Econ. Meltdown"! Good for him...for unlike Obama, the "empty shirt", who just wants to talk, debate and play like Nero while Rome burns...Obama would just vote "Present" anyway, like he has 100 times, so no need for him to return to DC.

What a transparent political ploy by McCain. Just like the hurricane delay at the convention. He''s trying to look "Presidential" by blackmailing Obama because Obama''s in the lead and he knows the debates will put Obama even farther ahead.

This has nothing to do with being Presidential and everything to do with cheap politics. The financial disaster is McCain''s fault and everyone knows it.

How can McCain say he is suspending his campaign?
He didn''t have any campaign stops scheduled anyway. He was going to be using the time to cram for the debate.

Mccain is actually a pretty scrappy debater, who has had a lot of experience with it. Debating isn''t Obama''s strong suit. McCAIN will do just fine.
Just do it and get it over with.
