Straight Talk At Last From McCain Gramm
I’ve always respected Gramm. He did a lot for us during the Reagan years.
We could do worse than a McCain/Gramm ticket. And I’m sure we will, LOL!
What Gramm said was taken out of context. If you listened to more than a short sound byte, you got it.
That said, Gramm should know that the MSM is just waiting to slice and dice.
If Gramm is teaching McCain economics, it can only help. Quesiton is how much Johnny can retain.
Advisors to presidential candidates are not supposed to become the news as Gramm did. I do not think it is wise to have Senators as advisors, these boys just have too huge an ego to be a team player and to put their emotions under wraps for the good of the candidate. John Kerry has not done Barry any good either as far as that goes. The Senate is a club of treacherous and stupid egomanical political hacks, when you are member of that elitist club yourself do not depend on other elitists to say politically popular things. When Gramm made the remark about whiners, that was your typical egomanical elitist remark. That is what the Senate is all about we be smarter than idiotic electorate.
Instead of making girly man excuses, it would be nice
to see a candidate “lean into” an attack and say...
“Darn straight we’re a nation of whiners. Look at you
whining about Phil Gramm saying you’re a whiner.”
Say it! Don’t back down. It’s the truth. Just say it!
Graham has some good points, but he was a politician long enough to know his remarks were a bonehead thing to say, even as a joke. It’s never a good idea to insult the American people in an election, particulary when there are many very real long term problems that government is doing nothing about.
“China and India’s populations entering the global work force “greatly increased the supply of labor,....and “almost everything Americans buy from China” is produced by American manufacturers utilizing Chinese workers.”
Gramm may be more honest than McCain would like. Someone finally admitted that MFN with China is nothing but a cheap labor contract. I wonder when they’ll admit the price of gas is because of demand by China because we buy all their cheap goods? When did this great labor shortage in America occur? When THEY said it did, I suppose.
gramm has a ph.d. in economics.
