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.

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.

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.

Yes, Phil Gramm is a fine and smart man.

Juan mccain just saved me from making a stupedo donation, with his continuation of his “maverick” stupidity of slapping his own side.

I supported Phil Gramm in 1996 for President, but have no sympathy for him now. He is a conservative who supported McCain for President over Fred Thompson and other conservatives. The only argument for this could be that it was for McCain's character, or his judgment, or because he thought McCain was a winner. Well it was McCain's judgment that to be a winner he needed to throw Gramm under the bus. Justice is served.
