*Sigh* Both of you. This isn’t helping.

If the people outside of the ivory tower (forget the GDP stats) believe there is a recession, than there is one.Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read all day.
The people outside the ivory tower believe whatever the box in their air-conditioned living rooms tells them to believe. They don't even know what a recession is.

Phil Gramm is a fine man. He was an excellent senator with many good ideas. He does not deserve this lambasting from McCain. McCain does not need to demonstrate his empathy for those in difficult times by trashing a good man like Phil Gramm.
Gramm got what he deserved for twisting himself and his principles into a pretzel to support the Big-Government candidate McCain.
This is what happens when you lie down with pigs (so to speak), you get dirty.

Geeze,
The lose that McCain and the republicans are about to face is going to be staggering.

even proposed a position in a McCain administration -- ambassador to BelarusFunny that McCain referenced Belarus. I see the US government as becoming more like the Kremlin as time goes on. The elite in government take from the citizens and disperse it how they see fit, while they live in privilege. I guess even McCain sees the similarity.

He can only disappoint you if you expect anything from him. He consistently lives up to my expectations.

Cheap political theater? Get Gramm to make some kind of ridiculous off-the-cuff remark so McCain can ride in on a white horse and play the hero?

“The people outside the ivory tower believe whatever the box in their air-conditioned living rooms tells them to believe. They don't even know what a recession is. “
The last line is right on target. Back a year or so ago when all economic indicators were up and gas prices albeit high, didn't keep people from buying that SUV, polling showed that people thought the economy sucked. Why? Because the Drive By Media said so and never reported the correct news about the economy. Sort of like they are going silent about the good news in Iraq right now.
But it is not all the Drive Bys fault. The GOP and this White House have been the most incompetent at tooting their own horns about the good news. The Drive Bys will automatically report the good news when a Rat is in charge because it's not in their nature to report bad news about them. The next GOP leader that can grasp that concept will be the next Reagan like figure in our party. The Bushies thought the Drive Bys would help them. They thought wrong.

Look, Senator Obama. My bus is just like yours! And I’ve got people under it, just like yours! And I am for amnesty, just like you!
And this election is about what?
When you have two people foisted upon us by the media, shame on us if we elect either one.
I do not vote for unopposed candidates and I will not vote for Tweedle Dee/Tweedle Dum.
My vote, wasted though it may be, will be a write-in for Ann Coulter.

McWhacked only attacks those who are trying to be on his side. He never attacks those who are theoretically the opposition.
But hey, that’s why I call him McWhacked.

Phil Gramm was supposed to be tutoring McCain on basic economics, and was going to be SecTreasury. I was excited about that.
Phil Gramm is a solid conservative who actually understands the economy. Little wonder that he was tossed under "The Straight Talk Express".
I'm beginning to think that McCain doesn't want to win. Actually winning would keep him from being a "maverick", and we can't have that, can we?

He is also pretty stupid, too. What Phil Gramm said was absolutely correct.

America is indeed full of whiners. Of course, they’re all in the democratic party-—whining about Iraq, about the 2nd amendment, about Limbaugh and Savage, about tax cuts, about polar bears......

I’d rather have Gramm advising McCain on economic policy than some semi-socialist compassionate conservative. In the unlikely event McCain does win, he’d be smart to make Gramm Treasury Secretary and leave economic policy to him.
