He will still be advising McCain, just not in public. Those two are like brothers. So he will be heard but not seen. Nothing has changed. Gramm could give two cents for what you think and McCain is the same. Not to say Obama is any different; You don't please the masters by tweaking their nose. Since the nomination Obama has reneged on everything he ran for and has fallen in line. Wright was right. He's just another politican who willingly sellout anything or anyone, to serve the will of the money masters. McCain did it from the get go. Obama "cahnged" his tune after he met the boys at Bilderburg in Chantilly, Va, and he hasn't been the same person or canidate since. Expect four years of the same. The faces may change, but the policies will not. Your will doesn't matter, and it never did. The election is just to give you the illusion that you have a say or a choice... You don't. Carlin was right.

Phil must be packing for his upcoming post in Minsk. Too bad he didn't quit sooner, he might've been able to hitch a ride with the Obama entourage to Iraq, then catch the double talk express bus straight to Belarus.

McCain through his economic advisor thinks inflation and unemployment is a mental illness... Combine this with Mccain fundamental misunderstanding of who were fighting in Iraq and that makes him 0 for 2 on the war on terror (i.e. YOU!) and the economy... I don't think we can afford a McCain presidency. Not that Obama can be all that much better since he has some (cough 300! advisors to/in his campaign) Oh boy folks, hold your nose. You may wanna sit this one OUT. We can have a broken economy and further expansion of perpetual war in IRAN. (McCain) Or a broken economy, further defict spending on ineffecient programs and more perpetual war in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and continuing in Iraq. (Obama) wher's the "change." Which one of these guys will get to implement the policies of the 3rd BUSH term? I think we're better off voting for anybody else than these two, or not at all...

I always knew that Phil Gramm was a blithering idiot, but now this proves it! I suppose the collapse of all these banks and mortgage companies is a figment of our imagination too! He probably gets a special stipend from the big oil companies so he doesn't have to pay the nearly $5 a gallon gas prices either! Geesh, get real!

Allen, that's funny, "special stipend". He don't need no darn stipend! Gramm has so much of our hard-earned money, he can drive around the world in a humvee, towing a motor home and pleasure boat - and joyfully running over all those sick and elderly and poor people dazed as they try to just get cross the road. But I'm sure he'd rather just fly over the masses in his private jet - like his buddy McC, only he doesn't have to ask his wife for permission.

Gramm is also VP at UBS- the Swiss arm just got busted big time as a big tax shelter for wealthy Americans.

Gramm also gave us the "Enron Loophole" that screwed so many and was a cheerleader for the "financial innovations" that caused the sub-prime meltdown.

The man is the father of socializing debt and privatizing profit- a big pig at the public trough.

It doesn't make a difference as far as I'm concerned. You don't have a chief economic adviser that you strongly disagree with. Gramm's positions are in keeping with McCain's views. His approach to the subprime mortgage crisis was essentially "it's your problem; you were irresponsible." Then he adjusted his position somewhat because there was a strong negative response to his plan to blame people and do nothing. McCain doesn't understand a thing about the economy--and despite the impression that some may have, he's no guru when it comes to foreign policy either.

It all comes down to whether or not you think we should continue the bush policies. If you think the war should continue indefinitely, while we spend $10,000,000,000 a month, and you think that bush has done well with the economy then mc-more-war is your man. If you think that it's time we start to get out of iraq and do some positive things for the average American instead of just the top 1% then vote for Obama.

Obama will be GREAT in 2008!!!

Just because mccain is Old does not mean he has good judgement. Look what we got with Old man cheney and old man rumsford. mccain used to have a spine but now is nothing but a flip-flopper and a panderer. He's also an OLD fart. The real straight-talker, John Murtha said that the Presidency is no place for an OLD man. There's a reason they make pilots retire at age 60. mc-more-war needs to retire with his millionaire wife. (The one he had an affair with after his first wife waited for him to come back from the war.) Obama 2008!!!

The funny thing is most people think Phil was right. A Time magazine poll said 61% said he was right on!

President McCain - get use to it!

Gramm and McSame -- two peas in a pod. With the way the campaign is going, it looks like Obama is about to slam McSame's head through a basketball goal. JANUARY 20, 2009, SEN. BARACK OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and the world relaxes as the neocons slink back into their holes. Obama 08!!!

Gramm didn't step down because of the "whiner" remark thats just the spin reason. Gramm is hip deep in the IRS investigation of rich American's evading taxes by hiding money in Swiss & Lichtenstine banks. As Gramm is a vice president of one of those bank Swiss UBS I can just imagine the questions the IRS has for him? Good luck creep and good riddence.

read your own post. he didn't step down as an advisor, he stepped down as co-chair.

he's still advising mccain, he's just not speaking for him in public anymore.

Ironic about Gramm's resignation from being out in front; he did it whining!!

these clowns need to worry about GITMO war crimes trials and UN tribunals arresting RADOVANS because when the shoe fits, gramm and the bushbaby are going to be quite a good fit to be TRIED bunch of goosteppers...
