haha Some readers of...ummm never mind...more BS from the McCain Campaign
So, McCain says he will suspend his campaign and not debate until there is an agreement on the bail-out. Then, absent an agreement he shows to debate. September 27, 2008, 4:04 pm Back in Town, but Not on Capitol Hill By Elisabeth Bumiller Updated | 5:01 p.m.: Where was John McCain? Not on Capitol Hill. After interrupting his presidential campaign to come back to Washington on Thursday morning to try to push forward a $700 billion bailout deal, Mr. McCain remained in his condominium in Arlington, Va., until 12:30 p.m. Saturday, when he emerged and made a one-minute trip in his motorcade to his campaign headquarters around the corner. Mr. McCain, who arrived home at 4 a.m. Saturday from the presidential debate in Oxford, Miss, could be seen in his car talking on his cell phone. But there was no word from his campaign on who he was talking to, or the extent of his involvement in ongoing negotiations. By mid-afternoon, Mr. McCain’s closest adviser, Mark Salter, told reporters that Mr. McCain would not go to Capitol Hill on Saturday but would make phone calls to try to push the deal along. “He’s calling members on both sides, talking to people in the administration, helping out as he can,’’ Mr. Salter said. Asked why Mr. McCain did not go to Capitol Hill after coming back to Washington to help with negotiations, Mr. Salter replied that “he can effectively do what he needs to do by phone. (A note by this poster. If he (McCain) could do what he needed to do by phone why all the hoopla about returning to Washington to do his job? Could it be a campaign bit of B.S.?) By 5 p.m., McCain aides had released a list of people they said Mr. McCain had called from his campaign headquarters on Saturday. Among them were: President Bush; Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson; Fed chairman Ben S. Bernanke; Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader; Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire; Senator Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona; Representative John A. Boehner of Kentucky, the House Republican leader; and Representative Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri and the House whip. |

Well looks one sided to me...lol He is all show, if someone told him tomorrow he could win if fired Palin and took on a black man for VP, you can bet she'd be on her butt and a new man would be standing in her place. Sad really, it is. |
