Members Roman Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 The McCain Campaign responds: "We feel that the deplorable lies that have been told by Wales shows that he is willing to put himself ahead of the message board. If he would spend his time watching the Young & The Restless (Which is what Roman was doing as Wales was posting this article first) we feel that we can get back to a spirit of bi-partisanship at SON." http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/24/o...t-be-cancelled/ Obama responds to McCain’s “time out”: The debate should not be cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Mulder! You have said it all. Bush's Administration has treated the press like a pariah and it appears that McCain is wanting to continue on that path. I guess they're scared shitless that an open, transparent administration will show them to be the criminals that they are. Cool beans, my friend.

Members Roman Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Then you all should read what Campbell Brown at CNN said. She apparently blasted the McCain campaign for shielding Palin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 And Wales....being Wales (which BTW is fabulous)......responds that Wales just might be one very fly chick.....who knows???? I think Brian was trying to uncover this the other day. But my motto is.....brace yourself......don't ask don't tell. If there's one thing I liked about The Human Stain it is that when the protagonist had the chance to set the record straight.....he didn't because it ultimately doesn't matter. Wow.....'still a legend in my own mind though. Oh and I'm pretty versatile too. I don't get that impression at all. I think the man is stalling and playing partisan games....which he's become accustomed to doing so no surprise there. Cancel no....stall yes.....maybe he's looking for time to get back on track. This kind of piddly partisn rubbish to me. Was he not holding hands with the Democrats through his years in office as this type of mess was building up? 'Sorry if I don't stand up and cheer this move. Maybe he could sit down and tell Bush to get Paulson to stop seeking so much power or he can come out and get all the Democrats to praise his magnificent efforts in getting them to play along. This kind of thing puts me off poltical parties. So one guy from party A gets to lay down the rules and the other guy from party B has to heed and follow or else he's subjected to attacks. I think each candidate pushes for what's beneficial to him and in this case McCain is more comfortable with a small crowd......Obama probably really doesn't care so I don't see why he should do that which is expeditious to McCain simply to make McCain happy? What was the concession that McCain using bullying tactics plan to make? None so far that I can see.....oh wait he wouldn't have stuck it to Obama in ads. At this point even if the topic were should white shoes be worn after September, the people need to see them go head to head in a debate forum. The only thing front and center on my mind right now is food....and I admittedly have a short attention span so I don't want them having any convoluted debates on issues they think will matter to me.....if I can't understand what they're really talking about. And since I'm so shallow anyway.....I'll get distracted in no time at all if someone's tie clashes....although they'll probably do the whole navy blue suit thing.....which won't be adventurous enough for me....

Members George008 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Ok. So why is Obama's backtracking on the bi-partisan effort? Why continue with the bickering when we need every Senator to come together and focus on this issue? I'm sure McCain could, but this type of financial crisis is a very large historical event. It's not the regular ho hum daily votes of congress. I've never said anything even close to this Roman. I have no idea what you are talking about...

Members Wales2004 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 How is Obama backtracking or bickering? Is the debate going to take a few days to have or is it a matter of hours because when politicians posture about how they're skipping several hours of this to do this ginnormous thing that is going to take more than those hours... Why didn't he rush back sooner or did it take him this long to realize it might be serious and now he wants to jump right on it? How much confidence should the public have in a leader who takes a little while to figure out that a problem is really a problem and might seriously need some attention? Let me say it then....Obama and McCain aren't going to fix this problem whether they go hold hands and sing kumbaya or not. The whole village has to fix in it and they're not the whole village and right now all they can do is pose and try to look presidential. I expect them to show up for the vote and even participate via teleconferencing on the matter but neither one is the head of the pertinent committee....or did I miss that too?

Members David_Vickers Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 True. I'll be glad when Obama/Biden win the election and McCain has to give his concession speech. Of Course, Sarah Palin will be standing by quitely smiling, lol. Since the GOP do no think a woman should be allowed to speak. How right you are Roman on all points.

Members Wales2004 Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does anybody think that McCain is trying to divert attention from the fact that his campaign manager was getting money from Fannie Mae on a monthly basis and that his company was still getting paid by Fannie Mae up until last month? And how ironic is it that McCain had an ad out tying to make Raines out as an Obama financial adviser in an effort to make a connection to Fannie Mae and Obama when McCain's campaign manager had an actual connection to Fannie Mae? What do you think of McCain lying to David Letterman saying he could not do his show because he had to go and handle the financial crisis when it turns out that McCain was actually doing an interview with Katie Couric and Letterman was able to see the feed at the time when McCain should have been taping his show? He also met with the woman who formerly supported Clinton and is now supporting him today and he'll be in New York until morning...so he's really rushing back to Washington to work this thing out eh...

Members GoldenDogs Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I see. So Democrats NEVER pain the Republicans as responsible for anything and everything. Except... maybe... ONLY the biggest financial crisis to hit the nation in our lifetimes!?!?!? Paging Barney Frank... Paging Barney Frank... do you still believe there is no crisis? Mr. Frank?

Members GoldenDogs Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Biden would blame it on James K. Polk, based on a 1847 television address President Polk gave on the radio discussing defaulted loans in the Unorganized Territories of the Pennsylvania coal fields in Louisiana.
