I missed this article by Thomas Frank yesterday in the Wall Street Journal: Last week, Republican presidential candidate John McCain called for a commission to “find out what went wrong” on Wall Street. It was an excellent suggestion: Public inquiries into Wall Street practices served the country well in the 1930s. And Mr. McCain has […]
Wow: A senior campaign official says that McCain will NOT debate — no matter what — if Congress hasn’t reached an agreement on a bailout package. Got that – give out $700 billion or no debate. I don’t know what country John McCain is from, but here in America we do not negotiate with terrorists. […]
The Answer – committees that John McCain does not sit on. Chris Dodd, who chairs one of those committees, told Rachael Maddow tonight that Obama has been in constant with him to check on the progress and offer ideas. McCain has not been in touch at all. Just yesterday McCain told reporters he hadn’t looked […]
Just now breaking – John McCain is “suspending his campaign” and wants the debate postponed due to the economic crisis. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. McCain says he wants both campaigns suspended until this “crisis is resolved”. Of course we don’t know when that will be. Could this be a […]

And John McCain does nothing but lie to the American people about it – the same American people expected to bail out these companies. One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager from the end of […]
Go – read this now. John McCain is losing the conservatives left and right.
The McCain campaign doesn’t like being called what they are – liars: Sen. John McCain’s top campaign aides convened a conference call today to complain of being called “liars.” They pressed the media to scrutinize specific elements of Sen. Barack Obama’s record. But the call was so rife with simple, often inexplicable misstatements of fact […]
Here is the latest one from McCain’s campaign being attributed to Sarah Palin (with my own thoughts injected): When I joined John McCain as his running mate, I knew I was in for a roller coaster ride of ups and downs on the campaign trail. But, I want you to know that I joined John […]
