McCain practicing major damage control. The whine comment was bad enough. Wait until the media and Obama go full court on the UBS off shore tax dodge debacle that Gramm is ostensibly tied to in his executive position with that company. A very stupid play, considering current economic conditions. McCain just gave Obama a huge class warfare gift allowing him to walk away with blue collar votes. McCain can’t distance himself from Gramm fast enough.
Dems had no problem with Robert Rubin, a career Wall Streeter, or George Soros, a professional speculator.
Gramm is gone as the target, but a new target will chosen soon. Any Republican with capitalist ideas is portrayed as the Monoply man lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills.
Running from the class warfare argument hasn't worked yet. Standing up to it, as Reagan did, is the only hope.
