It’s amazing how hard Senator McCain is willing to work to convince me how unfit he is to be president.

Just think, if not saddled in the GOP with Scarface as nominee, we would not have to suffer all these indignities. We are so screwed. Any way you put it.

McCain being McCain again. D’oh!

[libbylu]

Not only that he needs to take speech lessons like Hilary did.

Regardless of McCain’s response to Gramm, it was still pretty damn stupid of Gramm to make the remarks he did while we have $4-plus gasoline, rising food costs, and foreclosures threating the the economic security of even sensible homeowners. It might have made more sense for Phil Gramm to make such comments a few years ago when the Rats were talking doom and gloom, but right now, it just looks completely out of touch to a lot of people in this country.

Egads!!! It sounds as though Obama threatened to cut John's nuts off in retaliation to Bro. Jesse's psudo threat and John's "irrational fear" of liberal backlash!

I thought McCain was supposed to be a war hero but now find that he's really a paper tiger when it comes to standing up to liberals in public.

He may well have withstood torture at the hand of the Chi/Coms; VC Coms, etc. but surely is unable to stand up to "threats" of liberal retaliation in America 2008.

My statement to John is, "Get a pair John and buck up boy! It's going to get tougher than this and thank God that Hillary isn't your candidate to beat."

McCain should throw it right back in Obama's face

Yeah right. I think we know that the "Straight Talk Express" is off the rails.

Wonderful rant, but you forgot to lead it off with the part where you explain what it is you are ranting about. I am sure you have a point, but I really have no idea what it is.

Phil Gramm is right. A lot of the problem is psychological. After all, wasn’t Roosevelt just addressing the psychological aspects of the Great Depression when he said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.

[The Wizard]

Gramm was right...McCain needs BALLS

[Kakaze]

I thought Grahmm was right.

I've been saying for months, that the economy has slowed because this election has been so damn long. People are unsure how or if they should spend money, while they wait to see who's going to be the president, the next "taxing" authority.

Of course McCain could never express that thought, since hes been running for president for over a decade.
