(2008-09-25) — Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, who suspended his presidential campaign yesterday to address the global financial crisis, arrived at the Capitol this morning, locked the doors to the Senate and asked running mate Sarah Palin to post troops from the Alaska Army National Guard to bar senators from entering the chamber.
The Republican nominee said, “The current crisis demands all the courage lawmakers can muster to avoid the unintended, but surely disastrous consequences, of government intervention with taxpayer money.”
“Now that I have solved the crisis,” said Sen. McCain, “I’m willing to either debate Sen. Obama Friday night, or to just sit down for a cup of coffee with him so I can tell him what it’s like to be a U.S. Senator, what the inside of the Senate chambers look like, and other things about which he might be curious.”

Thanks for the laugh, Scott. I needed it today.
I’ve got two employees who were scheduled to interview for a new job later this week, but we had kind of an emergency come up here at the office which looked like it could be a big problem not only for our customers but for our business as a whole.
One of my guys decided his current job is more important than the new one and backed out of the interview, but the other is now trying to tell me he still intends to go to the interview but believes he can carry out his work here at the same time using his Blackberry.
I just hope Barry’s new employers, if he gets the job, knows what they’re getting. The record’s pretty clear.

David Letterboy mocked John McCain last nighty for what I believe is DOING HIS JOB and CIVIC DUTY!
Letterman is a “PINHEAD”, to put it mildly for mocking McCain for putting aside his political ambition in favor of trying to help his COUNTRY! If Obama wants to be like JFK, maybe he should listen to his “Ask NOT—” speech?
In olden days fools like Letterman were called clowns, and before that Court Jesters, who’s only job was to think up foolish things to make “The King” laugh.
Somehow I do NOT believe if the economy fails there will be many who feel like “laughing”!
I seem to remember Letterboy, Leno, and others “suspending” their little comedy shows immediately after 9/11/01.
Was that because it directly affected them or because the damage was ALREADY done, and was not just EMMINANT (sp) as is this crisis?

McCain was in pretty much of a no-win situation. The economic crisis was beginning to affect his standing in the polls. Obama was saying this is a Republican debacle and McCain was partly to blame. Of course, all of this is a lie, and the Democrats are largely to blame for this mess.
Not only that, but Harry Reid was saying just the day before that McCain and the Republicans were needed to back any proposed legislation. Of course, when McCain chose to show he was interested in doing just that, Reid says, “You’re not really needed after all”.
What Reid means is: “We will come up with the legislation, we just need the Republicans to rubber-stamp it. We don’t need your input to help us actually craft the bill”. Real bi-partisanship there, eh?
And Obama naturally wants to have it both ways. He says this is the worst economic crisis since the Depression (hardly). Yet, he won’t treat it like the “emergency” he insists it is.
Obama still thinks the campaigns should go on as normal. In other words: “Let’s continue to exaggerate this problem so I can rise in the polls and smack McCain around some more.”
Can anyone say “Slime-ocrats”?

Someone posted this spoof e-mail, elsewhere, satirizing those e-mail scams:
“Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship
with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country
has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of
800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it
would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my
replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you
may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation
movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the
funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds
in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under
surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a
reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the
funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund
account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission
for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond
with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to
protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully,
Minister of Treasury Paulson”

Now the moron “thinks” he is a political genius, or that eveyone cares what he has to say.
Yes Melon head, you and he have that much in common, that you THINK anyone HERE cares what you think, or even listens to your left wing-nut “parrot” rhetoric.
As for the housing crisis/mess, it is YOUR party that has caused it, or don’t you even trust your own lib/MSM?

McCain locks the door to the Senate chambers? What’s the big deal, as messiah Oblahblah can walk through doors and walls can’t he … except he’s never to be found in the Senate anyway.
In a Washington Post op-ed piece today, Tony Blankley gets it right about the lamestream media campaigning for their Obamessiah. Of course the moonbats and Obama worhsippers think this is perfectly okay since it might achieve their goals as monopolistic powerbrokers. Remember how they whined how “unfair” it was when both Houses of Congress and the Executive Branch was run by Republicans? That all changes now as they get closer to realizing their dream of a velvet gulag … you know, the kind of “change” they can really believe in!

Hey, Cougar, don’t you ever follow the links we post here?
You know that liberal rag New York Times? Well it finally got something right back in 2003 when in a rare fit of journalistic integrity it actually reported the news the way it unfolded. The Bush Administration had warned the Congressional overseers of the impending home mortgage disaster because of the liberal practice (started under the Clinton Administration) of handing out mortgages to high-risk borrowers because “every American as the inalienable right to own a home” or some such nonsense. I can back up everything I claim here and if you want to see Donks like Barney Frank and other Democrats defending the practice of financial institutions giving loans to low and moderate income despite them being high risk borrowers, then read this.
Of if you would rather copy and paste into your address box … http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E06E3D6123BF932A2575AC0A9659C8B63&scp=1&sq=%22barney+frank%22&st=nyt
IT’S YOUR FREAKIN’ DEMOCRATS WHO SET UP THE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY FOR EVENTUAL MELTDOWN! Yeah, there were a few idjiot Republicans trying to play Democrat-Lite, but it was the bleeding-heart liberal Democrats who demanded these sub-prime mortages be given to financially unqualified borrowers and come-what-may. Yep, the chickens have come up to roost and you guys’ kneejerk response was to blame Republicans … i.e. the Bush Administration. Not this time.

Hawkeye Re#6: It may be one of those lemon-to-lemonade stories. By withdrawing from the “debate” he suddenly became interesting to the media again. Sure, they piled on, but as every publicist knows, any publicity is better than none. Meanwhile, that left Oshamalama to pontificate, then come running home with his tail between his legs at the President’s “request.” Obama can take the MSM for a little walk, but McCain can make it dance.
As for the grunts about Palin “avoiding” the Press, one of the very first things she said was that she wasn’t running to be friends with the media. Well, what do you know, she meant it!

So this was my day, in case you may want to know. I went downtown to protest Carole King’s rah, rah, for the big O. I admit there was a small voice inside my head that said don’t go, but did.
The sun was hot as I sat out in front of the building in my powerchair with an assortment of six different signs which I changed from time to time. By and large I was ignored or laughed at by those entering the building. I couldn’t enter because of the number of steps.
A man, rather wimpy looking, in a black suit who I took as being the big cheese finally came out and said he was glad to see I was exercising my first amendment rights, then left.
Later a couple of guys came and got rather ugly as I tried to talk about Senator Dodd and Barrack OB1’s robbing of Fannie Mae. They kept trying to change the argument to big oil and McCain’s hand in helping them with tax cuts. When I mentioned Palin’s name they said she doesn’t know anything, laughed and walked away.
After the rally was over and the few scant number of people left I sat there with a smile on my face and greeted those leaving. Some smiled back as I winked and said I was just a silent protester.
Eventually two well dressed college age girls came by and saw my Obama was a socialist sign and asked why I would say that. I took pains to explain why- about his friends and those who befriended him on his way up his (step) ladder. After staring at me and acting a bit surprised the two then replied, “so what is wrong with being a socialist.” I had to stop talking to them at that point.
The good part is after the press got through talking with a crazed woman who whined about everything in the world they came and talked to me. We had a friendly discourse and when I told one paper about my one time radical left life they were quite surprised. When they found out I was a journalist also it became a bit more friendly. Imagine a conservative journalist and one in a wheelchair at that.
How will the two papers paper write up my interview (with pictures)? I have no idea, but they saw a quiet, well behaved, somewhat intelligent protester instead of a raunchy, loud mouth Code Pink, Earth First whacked protester.
P.S. Most of the attendees were old 60’s type hippies, new era hippies and a smattering of mommies who drug their children there to here the aged singer yelp and cheer on the crowd.
To end with, it felt good to be on the right side. I marched in Washington DC back in the 60’s with the underbelly of America. Now I am clean again.

The inauthentic Obama.
Has anyone seen any pictures of Oblahblah sitting in on the presidential pow wow about the economy? He looks way out of his league, but he’ll come up with a way to hog all the glory if something substantive actually comes out of the meeting … even if he opposed it! You know, like the surge and bringing the boys home. To hear The Chosen One tell it, Bush, McCain and Sarah Palin came around to his point of view about “setting a timetable for withdrawal.” The guy’s a riot. It’s been my understanding there has always been a timetable for withdrawal within the Bush administration, but only after Iraq is stabilized and the various sectors are handed over to Iraqi security forces in an orderly fashion. Sheesh. That’s not exactly the “retreat to defeat” immediate withdrawal that Obamessiah was demanding 18 months ago. After all, he was claiming the surge wasn’t working and we had better skedaddle before our continued presence there turns Iraq into another Vietnam. I guess messiah was wrong on both counts … imagine that.

Trying to cancel the debate seems like a desparate “hail Mary” pass from the McCain camp to … what? make us feel like he “really cares” so much that he’s anxious to stay home and sit preemptive shiv’ah for our economy? Or because he’s afraid to actually debate Obama and answer hard questions about a hard problem (one of many) that he, personally, big ol’ de-regulator that he is, helped create?

Given the immense scope of the financial meltdown and the almost limitless potential Dems saw to cash in, both literally and politically, on the “bailout,” it’s encouraging to see McCain being accused by the left of blocking their grandiose plan to argue instead for what they, at least, are calling a “conservative alternative.”
Although something is going to have to come of all this — there’s just no way to walk away and merely hope things shake out properly — it might well turn out that the Democrat’s fat, slimy, bloodsucking “Community Reinvestment Act” could finally be pulled from Uncle Sam’s jugular rather than being given the better perch it wants.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTON MIGHT BE A TIGHT RACE NOW, BUT ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S TOP POLLSTERS THINKS THE RACE WILL END IN AN ELECTORAL LANDSLIDE.
John Zogby, president of Zogby International, told a group of businesspeople today that it’s up to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama to convince voters to go with him. If he’s not successful, the country will likely vote for “a comfortable old shoeâ€, that being Republican Sen. John McCain.
Despite the books Obama has written, Americans are still asking, “Who are you, where are you from?,†Zogby said.
Zogby spoke at the College at Brockport’s Business Briefings breakfast series at the college’s MetroCenter campus on St. Paul Street. He was promoting his new book, The Way We’ll Be: The Zogby Report of the Transformation of the American Dream.

Usually they start talking about something so dumb that I turn the volumn down. Anyhow, I caught the end of this (anti-Bush) callers comments and I tell ya, there are some really stupid people out there! He was saying how companies don’t pay for things like increased taxes, higher fuel prices, etc., he was angry when he said, “they just raise the prices”, and how the cost of groceries are going up instead of businesses paying for it. He said something about how much Arnold had run up the debt in Calyfornya and Bush for the nation. I thought to myself, “Einstein I ain’t”, but this guy is on national radio declaring himself to be stupider than stupid. Then I realized, he is a voter… Heaven help us all!

Later the (in the tank) MSM will gush adoringly over B.O.’s masterful victory over the bumbling grey haired old man and spend the rest of tonight seriously debating whether or not the silver platter was real silver or merely a silver plated platter. Tomorrow Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Merideth Viera, Oprah, etc. etc. will continue the debate “Silver vs Silver Plate” and no one will even mention the severed head on the platter, only praise for B.O.’s stunning victory. Dingy Harry will introduce a resolution for the Senate to award B.O. a specially struck medal commemorating his victory. Pelosi will shut down the House in acknowledgment of McCain’s humiliating DEFEAT!!!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch it will be up to Rush and Ann to try and call attention to the head that’s still on the platter.
But it’s on November 4th when the .999 pure Silver Platter (ornate and engraved) that B.O. and many of his Congressional cohorts will find their heads permanently enshrined in the Hall of Shame along with forerunners like algore and JF Kerry. As control of Congress shifts back to the Good Guys (Republicans).
At least they can find solace that they all have ‘friends in low places’.
The only way that will NOT happen is if The Republicans try to appease the Democrats, if they veer away from a conservative stand, I wouldn’t give a plugged nickel for their chances.
B.O. STINKS

You must have a different TV than I do. All I heard was I agree with Mr McCain over and over. Seems to me that is all Obama could do is agree with him.
Lots of uh and ands coming from the half white, half black man. And uuh, uh, I got a bracelet to Mr McCain. See, I got one too.

Uhhh…the crickets are chirping in Scrappleville tonight. Kudos to McCain for coming out for the debate, but the ole maverick probably should have stayed home and curled up with some Zane Grey, because he just got seriously spanked by Obama.
HE SHOOTS! HE SCORES WITH A THREE POINTER!!
Who is Obama, Ms. Right Wing? Why, he’s the next President of the United States!

J. Cougar Melancholy,
What you say is true, but it turns out this was Barry’s strong suit!
Sassy Sarah is bound be the favored against Biden. I heard she told somebody she was going to “bring yuh some”.
Maybe she’ll “bring it on” Tuesday.
So, cheer up “Guys and Gals”

WV: inevitable al: so true, so very true.

MsRightwing, Ink: You have the correct television. He really did say that he agreed with McCain - 8 times actually! giggle.
And he really did say, “And I have a bracelet too!!” - (but I have to look down at it to read the name that is on it, because I just got it as I was walking onto the stage. )
Neverthink and that other cat must not have watched the debates or else they were talking during those parts!

The only victory for BO in the so-called “debate” is in that he did not openly weep on camera. My further commentary is over here.

“Neverthink and that other cat must not have watched the debates or else they were talking during those parts!”
CAT, please don’t call JCM a “cat”! Clearly, he is a “Dude”, and I prefer to be called a “Stud”.

Cougie’s nuts if he thinks Barry scored anything last night. All I saw was the same old empty suit parroting what he memorized from Haaaahvaaad Law. Alinsky lives……

I don’t have T.V. and was only able to catch a part of the debate on the radio, last night. I’m hoping to find clips on YouTube, if the wife and kids allow me the time, today.
Listening to a MSM radio station, this morning, they said that the outcome was “fairly even with no real clear winner.”
Translation: McCain did better than Obama.
