Exile him to Belarus??? What a comeback.

McCain slammed economic adviser Phil Gramm for his “mental recession” and “nation of whiners” comment. He said he didn’t agree with him and even proposed a position in a McCain administration -- ambassador to Belarus, “though I’m not sure the citizens of Minsk would welcome that,” McCain said.
“I don’t agree with Sen. Gramm,” McCain said at a news conference this afternoon. “I believe that the person here in Michigan who just lost their job, isn’t suffering from a ‘mental recession.’ The mother here who is trying to get enough money to feed her children, isn’t ‘whining.’”
“Phil Gramm doesn’t speak for me, I speak for me. I strongly disagree,” McCain continued, speaking of the man who some speculated could be Treasury Secretary in a McCain administration.

Juan should be exiled to Mexico for his stupidity.

Good. Now I’ll believe all of them when they give up their lifetime healthcare benefits, free cars, and other perks that the citizens that they are supposed to be SERVING don’t have.
Until then, there are two parties. Them and us.

Oh my. McCain decide to get tough...with his own people. As for Barry and the Party of the ASS, why their just peachy keen.
What a great example McCain uses. Michigan. Liberal overload. That State could be used for example of how NOT, but to throw Phil Gramm under the bus with Michigan as example is blatantly stupid. Same if he were to have used California.
Concerned for this November folks, very concerned.
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.

May we presume you prefer Obama? Because barring hell freezing over, that’s the only other choice.
Running over all of those advisers has to be rough on the tires and suspension system of the bus.
The worst nominee in GOP history keeps showing his stuff.
I hate this election.
The Drive Bys make it sound like we are in a 1929 Depression.
People are moaning and groaning about the cost of gas, but they will show up in numbers to buy the new Iphone at $200 a pop. Likewise they will wait at their local Gamestop for the latest game console and spend $$$$ over and beyond the cost on Ebay if they can't get one .
The economy sucks. Housing market is rough. Gas prices are at record levels. Food costs increasing. Energy costs increasing. Taxes increasing. All these are stuff that I live with at home every single day. That's not mental recession. That's what we see with our wallets close to home.
Until the politicians realize that, than they have their heads up their asses.
Juan McAmnesty MeCain- "I distance myself from everyone but myself and I pledge to even rebuke myself if asked by my friends across the isle."
Please add me to your ping list.
Hell no.
Because barring hell freezing over, that’s the only other choice.
With all of McCain's talk about climate change, who knows, hell might freeze over this year.
Done! Welcome aboard.
McCain’s very tough and aggressive.
Against Republicans.
Remaining to be seen: can he be tough and aggressive against Democrats?
Maybe we’ll find out if he ever starts campaigning.
Actually McCain was right to blast Phil Gramm...but of course silly to let him get near the campaign in the first place. Their politics are just the same
Gramm has a PhD in Economics....which means he doesnt understand economics. What a bonehead, making comments like that
Bet that Gramm is a liberal free trader whacko “America sucks” nutty Globalist.
America is not full of whiners. We are tired of anti-American politicians trying to masquerade as conservatives loving America...while trashing our borders and sucking up to the narco-terrorists, petro-terrorists, and the Commie Chinese
