I call for firing of McCain if he can’t grow some gonads and attack his opponents instead of attacking everyone else on planet earth.

How about Johnny Mac rightfully pointing the finger at the Obama advisors who made millions on this crap? And asking for jail time.

That will be disappointing to those who wanted Chris Cox to be the VP.

That was a terrific rally!

I kept thinking Governor Palin was going to look straight into the camera, point to the audience, and declare:

"Hey, Washington. Listen up! THESE are the folks who are paying for all your outrageous excesses. And they're sick and tired of it!"

He did. You need to listen to what he said in a rally less than an hour ago.

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that Cox was running in this election.

Meanwhile, McCain is taking blows from Obama, who is the most pathetic loser of a candidate in HISTORY and isn’t doing ANYTHING.

One sentence at a rally isn’t gonna cut it without the media on our side.

He did. He dropped it right in Obama's lap. You need to watch a video of the whole rally.

It is an excellent start.

In my adult life, I think that Cox is the single most inept and feckless SEC Chair. Ever.

Today’s “new” rules against naked shorting and the select list of 19 stocks that couldn’t be naked shorted back in July have cost Cox all credibility he had on the Street. He’s a fool and a tool, and should be summarily fired and horsewhipped as he cleans out his desk.
