John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.
Hey, Barracks, did you take the bar exam? OK well, since you are so f’ing good at dual tasking, did you also watch a movie at the same time?..Go to a bar? Snort some coke?
WHY NOT?
Also, if Intrade was so terrific, then why did they not reject the bogus exit polling and Bob Shrum on election day 2004 and keep Bush the favorite.
If Intrade traders are so fabulous at political predictions, why did they get duped by the Kerry campaign?
He is putting America First which seems lost on some of you around here. He is a United States Senator from Arizona and belongs in the US Senate on this issue. I know I would prefer having John McCain then anyone I can think of except Coburn and Inhofe from OK.
How is McCain backing out of the debate Friday going to fix the economy? The only thing it helps is Obama.
yeah, they self-identify pretty easily, as you see the same names over and over, and they are always so CONCERNED.
Laugh it up... we know what you are and what you are trying to do.

Why should she stop campaigning? The nominee has suspended his campaign. Is she not on the ticket with him? Her continuing to campaign would make McCain’s actions look like a ruse. Palin cannot continue campaigning with McCain on the sidelines. It would send a terribly cynical message.
if he would only vote “present”, anyway?
No need to show up then
I stayed there when I was a kid. The tennis pro reamed my brother and me out for destroying the clay tennis courts with our basketball shoes. What did we know?
I agree, well said. Thank you you really put it together perfectly.
97% of all mortgages are being paid on time.
It buys Palin a day or so to cram for her debate with Biden.
"let me see...save the country or have a debate...save the country or have a debate????? he's as vacuous as a balloon and as dumb as a rock.....
you people who would vote for this puppet are INSANE and I personally will hold each and every one of you responsible for what is coming.....
Well, Barack, John McCain will be in the midst of the Congressional gnarl seeking to find a solution tot he impasse and get something done ... we can only hope he gets something not so insane as Bush’s men are pushing.
I think it must be you! If I remember right, you left Free Republic in a huge huff, because no one wanted your man Rudy! Troll...........
How could you tell Joe Montana was playing in a game where his team was down in an playoff game? You couldn't. He looked just like he was playing a touch football game in his back yard. He didn't change things, or try reformat the huddle for emergency. He was calm and cool.
ROFLOL!! I love that comment!
Hahaha. You do realize, I had to steal that pic, right?
