Is Phil Graham some exception to the fact of the lavish pension, benefits and financial opportunitites that these elected guys get for themselves? They don’t work for us anymore. We work for them. I’m sure all these congress-critters think they’re entitled to all this, but they don’t have a clue as to what’s really going on and, what’s more, they don’t care as long as they keep getting theirs.
“They don’t work for us anymore. We work for them.”
You just now noticed?
While conservatives have refused to take base hits, demanding only home runs for decades now, the left has marched the nation into Democratic Socialism one base hit after another...
The left has been leading this country for decades and the chickens are coming home to roost now.
Conservatives have done nothing to stop them and they won’t do anything to stop the worst individual to ever seek the Oval Office from becoming president either. Ya know why?
Cause in their minds, none of it is their fault, so they ain’t going to do anything about it!
I am as fed up with self-proclaimed “conservatives” as I am leftists today.
Every leftist in America will spend their last dime to make certain America is ruined. But conservatives sit on their hands and wallets, shooting at each other and accepting NO resposniblility for how we got here, let alone how we will get out of here.
Phil Graham’s comments, and John McCain’s response, is THE EXACT reason we (the GOP) should have picked someone besides McCain as our Presidential candidate.
It’s obvious that McCain is on auto pilot, unable to put forth one original thought, much less original rhetoric.
OF COURSE there are a lot of whiners in the US, with the left wing Democrats at the top of the baby-whiner heap.
If McCain had any functional brain waves, he would have said that!!!
He would have admonished Graham’s comment in how it was stated, and then used it as a springboard to highlight the optimistic reasons the USA is the financial envy of the world......
McCain had a tailor-made ‘teaching moment’ -— but blew it.
McCain should have turned this negativity right onto Obama by proclaiming that Yes indeed, it is Obama and his surrogates who can’t find ONE SINGLE THING positive about America. Obama has been slamming the US economy and its people the past five years, even during the great financial times of 5% and better growth, etc etc.
McCain should fire all his advisors, and use the money to buy a personality, a campaign plan, or some good speechwriters.
Better yet, McCain should step aside and allow Romney to be the Republican candidate. I would bet my right arm that Romney would have never sheepishly bowed down over a surrogate’s comment.
Say what you want about Romney. He has a sharp wit. Enthusiasm, financial promotion, and is not nearly as boring as John ‘comprehensive reform’ McCain.
Ronald Reagan would not have used the word WHINERS when talking to Americans.
