Political Punch

McCain has become the biggest whiner since the media expected real answers to questions.

Phil Gramm belongs in prison

McCain’s economic proposals for continued tax cuts to the rich and no government regulations are vintage Gramm. In 2000, with the Republicans in charge of Congress, Texas Senator Phil “ENRON” Gramm was chair of the Senate Banking Committee. He pushed through the exemption on electronic trading without a Senate hearing. Internal ENRON documents later revealed that ENRON helped write this legislation! With no regulatory interference, ENRON used manipulative trading practices to game the California electricity market and drive up prices across the state. And Gramm's wife Wendy – as chairwoman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission – pushed through a key regulatory exemption removing energy derivatives contracts and interest-rate swaps from federal oversight – just what ENRON wanted. She later landed on the ENRON board of directors where she became a member of the audit committee that signed off on another one of ENRON’s fraudulent moves, partnerships that hid the company’s debt. Is this the kind of thinking we want guiding the White House?

Oh man, McCain surrounded himself with a doosy!

Peter - not sure what polls you are reading? National polls are averaging an 8 pt lead....do you realize a 4-5 pt lead is a LANDSLIDE in the electrol bote

Mccain has proven he is NOT mentally qualified to be POTUS, he has gone for the hail mary and his new slogan is

McCain/Palin = POLITICS FIRST, COUNTRY LAST

This idiot is more proof that McCain has terrible judgment and puts politics first and country LAST

I guess if McCain could hire someone who smeared him back in 2000 to work for his current campaign, there is no reason why he would not forgive a friend who said that Americans were whiners.

When a man of principle becomes a man of ambitions, anything can happen.

Just to finish with a touch of humor. Apparently, Ms Palin showed earlier interest in design. She wanted to open a boutique. She decided she would call it "Rouge Cou" which supposedly means "Redneck".

I guess Obama was right: the only thing Americans can say in french is "Merci beaucoup". If you can't translate a simple english word in french, don't worry, you might still become vice president of the USA.

New Poll shows that Palin is getting the Youth vote? Seems the Juno scenario helped, along with the fact that Young males find her attractive and interesting.
.......................................

LOL! Young males find her attrictive. I'm a 23 yr old college student and none of my buddies are drooling over Palin. LOL! She's like our moms. If a young male finds a soccer mom attractive or interesting then that just means he can't get a girl his own age. Nothing against soccer moms.

Gramm & Mary are channeling Kent Brockman.

"And at the cost of being unpopular, I point the finger squarely at you America!"

You are going to own your failures and rhetoric Republicans...own it.

Obama made many Americans desperate.

Putting in their minds from the first day of his campaign telling them how bad they had it. (before the economy declining)

Then continues with each speech, telling them so much they believed.

So the slowed spending, as they slowed spending, the economy declined.
......................................

I can't believe I'm actually reading this. LOL! Who in their right mind could believe such none sense. I guess you haven't went to the grocery story lately and checked the prices or pumped gas, or payed any attention to the number of forclosures, or declining car sales or the unemployment rate and how many people have had to turn to food stamps to survive. People who are considered middle class.

Ruh roh.....Palin's husband Todd was a registered member of the AIP until 2002

This afternoon, the director of Division of Elections in Alaska, Gail Fenumiai, told TPMmuckraker that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States.

Besides a short period of a few months in 2000 when he changed his registration to undeclared, Todd Palin remained a registered member of AIP until July 2002 when he registered again as an undeclared voter.

Those who used for credit cards for frivolous purchases and then could not pay the monthly bill are whiners. Those who purchased homes without reading the fine print of future increases in monthly payments are whiners. Those who think it is more important to purchase their latest hip-hop CD than pay for gas are whiners. Those who think Uncle Sam should bail them out of their own stupid mistakes are whiners.
Yes, there are lots of whiners around and most are Obama supporters. These people are socialist minded.

Mark Whitaker on MSNBC just disclosed that according to McCain's own timeline that the Palin children were flown into Ohio under the pretense that they would be joining their parents for an anniversary celebration and were not told about the VP announcement.

Secrecy and lies....I give you the John McCain philosophy.

In December 2000 Gramm helped engineer the approval of a bill that exempted energy commodity trading from government regulation and public disclosure. NUFF SAID!

Ladies & Gentlemen, this is John McCain's economic advisor, former senator Phil Gramm. He thinks that you are a whiner and illiterate if you have any problems in today's economy. Sure, we could blame him for high gas prices, but isn't it nice that he helped corporations and oil tycoons got filthy rich? Plus, I heard that the economy was Obamas fault, anyway.

McCain / Palin 08
"Quit Whining, America!"

I guess if McCain could hire someone who smeared him back in 2000 to work for his current campaign, there is no reason why he would not forgive a friend who said that Americans were whiners.

Of course! Gramm never left the campaign. John McCain is a liar. John McCain is a liar. John McCain is a liar.

There are many hard working Americans who consider themselves Republicans. And there are a lot of us Independents who are watching the Democrats squirm as they watch another race go 50/50. Obama is not all that to all people, but you can't tell tham that. The DNC made a huge mistake. Maybe they will learn their lesson this time.

Ben Smith: I wrote the other day that a Palin spokeswoman said trips to Germany, Kuwait and Ireland made up her foreign travel.

Two details worth clarifying:

The Ireland trip was a refueling stop on her trip to military installations in Germany and Kuwait, spokeswoman Maria Comella said.

And she's also visited Canada, another spokesman, Ben Porritt, says

Strange assumption that people who are "economically literate" vote for perpetuate tax cuts despite the deficits we face.

I think people who are "economically literate" are beginning to seriously question the underpinnings of the conservative economic platform.

Next time your pumping gas think to yourself this is only in my mind, this is only in my mind.

What can I say about Ole Phil that hasn't been said all ready? I just want this jerk to go far gar away and McCains traveling circus needs to fold up the big tent after this week. Watching the repubs slap each other on the backs is pretty sickening.
