Bodhi... with all due respect.... just stop. I know your entire world is going up in a poof of flames today, as McCan't is going down in history as the idiot that he is. Our democratic process does not suspend. It does not yield to the pressure of the world...it rises up and it takes hold of that world. The debates went on when the Iranian hostage crisis was at full bore, and there was much debate about a much larger conflagration brewing with the Reds....and that debate had a sitting president in it. The debates went on after the USS Cole lay gashed open by a terrorist attack, and the rest of the world held its' breath at our restraint. I wonder if Mr. McCain will suspend his presidency, whence falls its' first real test. If this economic problem is really that close to "cratering"....then we all might as well just start eating our money.
The Republicans would have gotten so much more mileage if McCain said.... "I have to go to Washington to address this issue.... Mrs. Palin will continue in my stead, until I return."
YOU DO NOT CANCEL THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
Today, mark my words, is Mr. McCain doing two things.
1) hitting the reset button, because all the battleground states' polls are falling so far south for him, he's almost an "also ran". (dropped 8 points in PA, 5 in Ohio, 11 in Michigan...and is now even in Florida..WTF!!?)
2) Finding a way to cancel the VP debate. After all, you can't cancel a presidential debate.....there has to be 3, so you can "say" who really won in your opinion.... and the fact they've been keeping Palin in a glass box is telling. I wonder how her little "foreign policy school" has been going this week? Her debate with Biden scares the hell out of that campaign. You watch, The VP debate will be offered up to cancellation due to this "crisis".
Your towing of the party line is admirable, if not misplaced. I salute your vigor.... but not your blind position.
All your posturing and BS verbosity isn't changing the fact that you are beyond a clue. My world is far from going up in flames. You and your liberal ilk though are. You people can not accept the FACT that your empty suit is nothing more than an imbecile with a past of nothing but poor decision after poor decision.
You call McCain an idiot, yet it is actually McCain that is putting the people of this country first. Obama is concerned about a freaking debate and his percentages. Who is the real idiot? The one that is concerned about the country, or the one that is concerned about his candidacy?
You say that McCain suspending his campaign to work on a critical issue is putting the democratic process on hold? I say you are a fool. The democratic process is not all about running around campaigning, it's actually doing the job they were elected to do, which is legislate and solve our countries problems. Comparing McCain's decision to stop campaigning and work in congress to fix the issue to campaigning during the Iran Hostage crisis, the Cole, and the Cold War further shows you are out of touch with reality. You understand the difference? The President was the one dealing with those issues, and for the most part, his staff. Neither McCain or Obama is the President. They are however both US Senators. They are a part of this bail out plan and how it will be drawn up. They need to be there.
Palin is not McCain, she need not debate with Obama. She is for the record still on the campaign trail and is appearing at Centennial Airport this Saturday. So, if you are suggesting that she stand up and become McCain, she isn't the Presidential candidate, she is the VP candidate. Truthfully, you wouldn't want her to debate with Obama, because she'd tear him a new one. When she gets together with Biden, she WILL tear his ignorant arse a new one.
Get a grip, and realize that your party and liberal ideas are downright out of touch with the reality of today.
