Stay away from the hat, Wales! Staaaaayy Awaaaaaay!!! :lol::lol:

I could have sworn he said "suspend". But then again, I didn't have the hat on, so maybe my hearing was impaired. He wouldn't have said he's suspending all ads and then turn right around and start airing new ads touting his position he's had since.....yesterday. Would he? Nahhhhhh. Never. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Uhmmm....no thanks....like the title of that old Susan Hayward movie....I Want to Live.

Roman, I think McCain discovered that when reporters question him about lying he could just lie about that too and he's sure this doesn't matter to voters in the least bit. You know maverick speak means sy one thing and do whatever you want and of course, it's Obama's fault that McCain is running those ads because had Obama listened and suspended his campaign to and done it all McCain's way, there'd be no need for the tone of this thing to get negative.

Roman, is it me just being a drama queen or is this just a low-down, scummy thing to do?

Oh, and lookie! ANOTHER AD! Man, this is just pissing me the [!@#$%^&*] off. I need a beer. And on top of all this, that Eden chick is juting out her chin again and yelling at Michael for the third day in a row!!!

He's now the candidate of change remember? These days change means change your mind often because people can't keep up anyway. :D

Just to cover the pertinent points now:

The nation's in crisis so he has to get back to Washington right away....after he

cancels with Letterman to see Katie and speaks at Bill's event.

Suspending the campaign means

he can't talk partisan politics at Bill's event.....duh did we think he could do that on a Democrat's dime.

but he can run ads because that's not the same as physically being present at an event while he's in Washington taking pics...because George threw him a lifeline with the whole invite....and the people thought they were above all this.

can't make the debate because it's going to take away from all the negotiating time since it took no time to see call Letterman to see Katie and speak at Bill's event compared to the number of hours that debate is going to consume.

must be sure to get near a mic to remind friends that he is working together for them because now that he's discovered the problem only he and his brand of working across the aisles is suited to resolve this crisis....'cause that's what leaders do and had Senator Obama done what he said....you know the rest.

I see now.

So the other day, when he was interviewed by Couric. She asked him "When is it ever acceptable to lie to the American people?" He replied "Never" (cuz really, would he or anyone admit that it's OK to lie?).

So yesterday he "suspends" all campaign activities in order to concentrate on the financial crisis.

And today he's still airing ads.

Now I wonder. Did he lie to the American people when he said he was "suspending all campaign activities"? <_<<_<

Like I said before, I don't know why this is pissing me the [!@#$%^&*] off so bad, but it is. It's underhanded. Just like he cock-blocked Obama with his press conference yesterday afternoon. Pathetic.

I guess it's official. The John McCain of 2000 has officially left the building. Now we have the pod Maverick in his place.

You guys do know that you're members of a spiteful party right? :lol:

You know your party was determined to steal McCain's thunder instead of working on a real compromise right?

And now....the issue of suspension will soon be moot.....so again, how about that Ric Davis getting paid from Fannie Mae....when he wasn't even working for them? Why does Fannie Mae give money for nothing like that?

They were close to a deal yesterday afternoon. With the houses of Congress very close in terms of party control, they couldn't have gotten there without some spiteful Repubs joining the fray.

McCain's thunder? More like McCain's blunder.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me that the McCain camp will cry that the mean 'ol Democrats made a deal just to spite him.

I have nothing in regards to Fannie Mae.

    • I am no Bo/Hope fan girl, but I think the ages were about 18/22.  It was more Doug finding Hope in a comprising position with Bo that gave him a heart attack lol.
    • Never forget, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bo and Hope, that their age gap was so wide it gave OG Doug a heart attack.
    • Doug can legally order drinks and has since he arrived so I assume he's like 22 or 23.  A little too old to be creeping on Holly, but they are all graduating or graduated (Ari) so it's not the worst.
    • I just think with high schoolers, you have to establish the age of their romantic interest.  Otherwise, it can get really creepy.  If Doug was 19-20, I would've enjoyed his poetry/books discussion with Holly because on paper, it was actually pretty good. 
    • I am glad Ned gets some say.  I don't really understand why he was left out of this decision.  We have no evidence that Ned wouldn't have 100% supported Brook's choice. I can understand leaving Sonny and Olivia out of this if BLQ didn't want to reveal Dane was the dad, but Ned should have been in the loop. Yes, Donna is the most adorable child in the world.   An unnecessary Sonny/Carly child, but adorable AF.   Justice for Avery though.  Where was she?
    • Peyton Meyer is 26, but I'm telling myself Doug's about 21, since all the actors in his group (Tate/Holly/Arianna/Sofia) are all a few years older than their characters. Actually, Leo Howard is a decade older than Tate! Still not the greatest optics, but still much more tolerable.
    • Michael coming back and taking his son home was a great cliffhanger......however, my number one pet-peeve on soaps is episode-to-episode continuation.  How in the world could the writers not show us Gio/Brooklyn/Lois?? I was so bummed by that.  Is Scarlett Spears (Donna) not just the cutest little girl? Those dimples!  She was so adorable with her performance.   
    • If he's younger, he is very precocious when it comes to loan sharking, prison, and poetry.  I wonder if he is meant to be younger than Javi?
    • That was another thing was surprised me in a good way. Having a teenage character hook up with a total stranger on her second episode?  Wow. We don't often see that.  But to have it happen with Diddler-Doug? This is now the second girl he's gone after who's still in high school.  In my mind, Diddler-Doug is in his mid 20's, unless the show has established that he's not?
    • Does anyone else think Lauren Buglioli talks too softly? I get she's supposed to be a pampered princess, but I can't connect to her performances because I always feel like she needs more grit or something. She needs to be more ferocious for me. More of a firecracker, because she's coming off like less than a sparkler. I will say bringing on Tracy was exactly what Anita needed because she's been all stoic all the time. Seeing her be infallible made her feel human, rootable, and relatable.  This was the first episode where I feel like the new Ted had settled in well. Pretty good for a near immediate recast.
