Sorry but McCain has already sold himself out in order to lead the party.

If McCains wins and If we have learned anything in the past eight years, it is this - McCain will not be leading the party or this Country. He will be a puppet of the neocons.

There were definitely some political posturing involved with suspending the campaign. It worked for McCain before the Rep. convention, he might be trying to turn the tide again with this since his numbers have been falling of late. It goes along with his message of putting country first, although I really don't see how him or Obama being there is going to change much. It's not like they are going to get in there and wrangle over minutae of the bill on this crisis. If I was Obama, I think I would have proposed to change the topic of Friday's debate on the economy (I think it's supposed to be on foreign affairs if I remember correctly). It would put even more heat on McCain to show up to it.

I do think it will be a huge mistake for McCain if he skips the debate. Whether you like him or not, just about everyone wants to hear what he says about the economy (along with Obama's take), because it's going to come up. True or false, not showing up will make it look to many like he is trying to dodge questions. He could probably do the debate from DC if he really wanted to.

I don't know if I'm like many voters, but I treat these debates a biit like an interview. They're competing for my vote to get them the job. If they don't show up, they won't get that nod.

Steve, please stop referring to libs as if they were a single person. You should know very well that every lib has a mind of their own and they don't necessarily see eye to eye on everything. It's as if you look at all libs as a terribly indecisive and confused individual.

To answer your question every individual wants something different. The answer is both.

suspend campaigning?

what alot of bullshit.

whats he gonna do instead? All he needs to do is make a vote in the senate, why couldnt he do it while campaigning?

Fucking pussy.

You want such a pussy in charge?

Bullshit.

You got a link for that urban legend?

A law passed decades ago banned the redlining of entire areas (usually populated by minorities) by banks, but there has been no law that required banks to lend money to those who can't repay the loans.

This is a Republican scandal.

Yes you’re right, I am involved with the FHA as too negotiating a re-fi for some property, it’s a friggin nightmare.

The credit market past 600K has almost ground to a halt as well as you said home equity loans as well, IF you are having trouble with conventional lenders you may want to try the FHA, but be prepared to have your whole financial life examined.

I absolutely do not want a pussy in charge. I DO want a person who takes their job seriously in charge.

What does that mean Si modo?

What are the exact implications of your words? Do you think suspending the campaign is being a pussy or is it 'rising above politics for the greater good?'

Lets have a straight answer for once from you.

I can't get much more straight than "I DO want a person who takes their job seriously in charge". I can't make that any more simple for you. What you infer is your problem.

Fuckin christ. i say again;

As I said, and I will not repeat myself: It is a simple, declarative sentence. What you choose to infer is your problem.

YouTube - McCain Says Virtually Nothing in Meeting

This is blowing up in McCain's face.

As accounts of both candidates in Washington come in, Obama came into town knowing what was going on and contributing specifics he wanted to see, especially on exec pay and limits to presidential powers, while McCain virtually contributed nothing.

I think SM was answering your question, Chocobot. Personally I think it was a rhetorical question which obviously means you didn't expect an answer.

I wouldn't be so sure


Besides leadership is not reading what your staffers have for you, you listen to the people who know, then you decide how to knit them all together. Sort of like a teacher listening to her pupils then pulling it together.

THere is a reason GOd gave us two ears and one mouth. BHO doesn't seem to have figured that out yet.
