Problem is…will he listen to anyone calling in?

He may not do it personally, but surrogates can make the case. Plus, there is plenty of video of Congress Dems acting like fools, without getting into the CRA.

I’d take this with a grain of salt, campaigns don’t tell their strategies to journalists.

Dave don’t you know that by now/sarcasm

McCain has been running a GREAT ad blaming the dems for the Fannie crisis and quoting liberals as to his trying to prevent it on Tv since Monday, with Bill Clinton as the star witness blaming the dems. Now that the bill is passed (after Palin’s debate), he and Palin will speak of same on the trail.

The main argument is against dems in congress and Obama voted present, so the matter is best dealt with in ads, not soundbites in debate.

That you would declare defeat at this point with a Noah-ark length time period remaining says much more about you, that what you address.

There is no justification for declaring defeat.

None.

You simply can’t be counted on to finish a job, can you?

Gamecock is very disappointed in you, and shocked at your fickleness.

Got thrown off the campaign for less pessimism!

Cheer up! Listen to Gamecock! Go see An American Carol!! And, please, please, please, stop channeling Kathleen Parker!

“2. There is a racial component to criticism of the Community Reinvestment Act that can make it sound like you are scapegoating minorities for Wall Street’s problems.”

I read that the demographics of the mortgage issue are Hispanics, Whites and Blacks, in that order. I think they are somewhat insulated from the racist charge.

We have to go with the Our team, it is the only choice, other options are over. We all can find problems with our team. I hate that I probably agree with the Barr/Root non campaign on more issues than I do with our own campaign. Of course the losing in Iraq and some other squirrely ideas make Barr/Root a non starter. Actually of the two, I prefer Root, who was not the isolationist he has to be now.

I was dissapointed that Palin, the real conservative on the ticket decided to bash “greedy Wall Street”,hmm, how many times last night?

Having said the above, of course I support McCain/Palin and we must win. We can focus on winning the presidency AND getting real libertarian/Constitution Conservatives elected to Congress. I do think if we do lose, it will be because the candidates move too close to the mushy center and Obama will win if that occurs.

If we do lose, there will be a reckoning in our party. The Reagan credo of “governmnet is not the solution to our problems, government IS THE PROBLEM” will return like the Phoenix.

It might be that we are a minority party for a while, but we will be a party with a soul again. I know there are many on the right who hope McCain loses so this revolution in the party can occur. I am not of that mind, losing never helps and the stakes are too high. We can win this thing and bring about a return to the true Republicanism of Reagan/Goldwater.

If you are, I want my money back.

I can’t stand that McCain won’t go after the dems on this. Fundamental Liberal Beliefs caused this crisis, and anybody who is really paying attention knows it. Why you would let Barney-Rubble and Nancy Pe-Loser off the hook is beyond me.

I think we need to start flooding the RNC, NRSC, and NRCC.
GIve them money, whatever we need.
Oh, and Sarah Palin needs to get on camera, look directly to the American people and tell them like it is. In healthcare, the war, Drill baby Drill! and taxes. She was made for this.

I was worried when I heard he was getting advice from Bushies. That was a sign of doom.
