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.

Bingo.

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.
