Jack Cafferty: Why is McCain running away from the debate?
Jack is just as confused as I am as to why John McCain would rather hole himself up in Washington rather than make the case for his economic policy before millions of American voters. Well, when you have no substantive economic policy, it might not be a bad idea to run and hide.

Barack Obama says the debate should go on as scheduled. It might be helpful, particularly to voters who remain undecided, to hear the two men who want to lead the country for the next four years discuss their ideas for solving what is arguably the worst financial crisis to hit the United States since the Great Depression.
I have a horrible feeling that this is the storm before the cancellation of the election.
Considering all else that has occurred in the last eight years, would you be surprised?
I saw that. It was brilliant of McCafferty to pointedly ask that question and put it out there.
I doubt he gets a straight answer, since the GOP is known to deflect and spin.
Mick Piobr @ 1:
No. Bush and his cronies do not surprise me anymore--especially after September 11th.

McCane campaign strategy: hide until the election so that the last memory people have of the ticket is the convention.
wolfie is a shit.
What's the big mystery? McCain knows that Obama is going to drink his milkshake, so he's looking for an out.
I truly love what cafferty did and he did not let wolfie justify the mckeatingFive bullshit ploy to duck out of the debate.
The Very Bitter Ceci Hussein @ 3:
Think about it for just one moment....WHO, in their right mind, would want to be
Prez. at this particular time in history, so tho bush has ZERO brains, even he knows
that what is facing the next Prez. will be a "hard"(if not impossible) job, so seriously
doubt that even that idiot would want the elections cancelled.
Presidential address to the nation, suspension of the election and declaration of martial law maybe !
Or will they shut down the internet to quell the hysteria !
I dont know about anybody else, but my internet has been playing up something chronic the last week or two.

By the way, I'm usually late coming to the party, but someone just sent this to me:
http://www.buymyshitpile.com/
Polling Shows Palin to be a Drag on the Ticket. NBC/WSJ poll: Doubts about Palin.
Forty-nine percent say that Palin is unqualified to be president if the need arises, compared with 40 percent who say she's qualified.
By contrast, 64 percent believe Biden is qualified to be president, versus just 21 percent who disagree. 9/25

Umm...call tech support?
BTW, anyone else hear that noise when Bush is talking? Sounds like the balloon of our economy getting ready to bust
Doggiebobo and bamboozled: You're right. Who would want to stay in the office of the Presidency. It ages and adds all sorts of stressors to the person in the position.
But this during this presidency, Bush and his cronies have done all sort of crazy stuff that you cannot stop from entertaining the stuff in tinfoil hat territory. Nothing is to be taken for granted by these people. They're ruthless.
Just saw Klondike Barbie's interview with Katie Couric . . . it's pretty obvious why mccain is trying to delay.
OMG. Anyone want to know what the McCain campaign has got Slick Sarah locked away in Dick Cheney's undisclosed location? Watch her fall on her face in the interview with Katie Couric http://www.americablog.com/ (the post below Lettermans's)
Another national disgrace on the horizon folks.
Bush's speech had two points that really struck me:
1) He blamed the economy on everyday Americans borrowing on credit.
2) He "invited" McCain and Obama to join the White House in working out the Bill.
(He just legitimized McCain's meltdown today that would suspend his campaign for the "financial crisis".)
Note: I wasn't going to watch Chimpface and his speech. But, darn it, I love to rubber-neck. :(
Why? Because there is no "there" there, that is why.
You want to know why he doesn't want to debate? Because he's for the most corporate-friendly solution to the problem:
Gift the taxpayer money to the big losers on Wall Street.
Without any payback guarantees.
Without any help for homeowners they've bilked.
Without scrapping executives' multi-million-dollar golden parachutes.
Why would he want to get on TV to tell people where he stands?
BUSH not taking any questions what a surprise.
Watching Bush on TV, how come he makes me feel like I'm gonna get screwed by him but I know for a fact he ain;t gonna kiss me !!
Bush just told us to "be afraid, be very afraid."
Took no responsibility, of course.

Well, he spent the first half trying to explain why it happened.
Then, he went into how both sides have to come together to pass the bill.
(this is the part in which he "invited" Obama and McCain.)
So yes, it was a pretty short speech. No questions were asked. It was simply televised.
But I will be reading the commentary from this to see what other folks say.

Chimpy looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights of an oncoming juggernaut.
With everyone quick to cheer Mcsames ridiculous move, just be wary and remember that a lot of people did the same thing upon his pick of Palin. Which (at least for a week or two after) suddenly morphed into what seemed like an 'inspired move'. At least the way his campaign manipulated the media into thinking so. What I'm saying is that - no matter what you think of Mcsame and the repug election machine - they're canny as hell. They would have forseen all poss outcomes to this move. I have a feeling that Bush inviting both candidates to Washington tomorrow (which Obama has agreed to because, well, he had no choice!) is just the start. Something don't smell right about this and I mean that in a bad way. I just have an incredibly bad feeling that this move will ultimately work for Mcsame and against Obama and with only 40 odd days till the election, it might just be enough..

Hardly the worst misstatement i have heard in the last seven years. "Mushroom cloud" comes to mind.
Something smells wrong here and it makes me nervous. It's not fear, I smell. It's cover. McCain isn't running away from his obvious shortcomings. He doesn't have to. Folks in the media like NPR do a pretty good job of slopping some tasty glaze on them. No, he's whored himself out to the neo-cons. We've seen that over the past 8 years. He's played their game and they owe him (as well as own him). He's taking cover, being protected from what's going to be unleashed upon us next and I sense it's even worse. We're about to take it royally up the ass!

1) Typical. They blame rape victims for being raped. They blame New Orleans residents for being drowned. They blame the poor for being poor, because if you're rich, God willed it that way.
If someone sells you a car and the wheels fall off, is that your fault? Or the car company's fault. Of course, this administration is going to side with the car company.
They've sided with big meat producers to shut down regulation. They've sided with energy companies to bilk customers of billions. They've sided with logging companies to shut down environmental protection. They've sided with Chinese companies to prevent consumer protections. And now they're going to side with the banks. There is nothing new going on here, folks.
2) Yeah, like he said, "I'm going to be the great uniter" before he took office. What a great show. Like anybody believes, after 8 years of not working with ANYBODY from the Democratic Party, NOW Bush is going to sit down with a Democrat to work out this biggest financial crisis in 80 years.

It sure is. He only legitimized McCain's actions today by inviting both Senators to come back to Washington. It is as if to say that he has a disdain for history and has no decorum for how the election season is supposed to run.
I understand that things can go awry, but what McCain did was boldly a political stunt. Bush single-handedly demonstrated to the American people that he doesn't give a damn about their feelings in the matter when it comes to them trying to find out who is suited to be the next Commander-in-Chief. Plus, he has no respect for the traditions and practices of what it entails.
It's a disgrace what both McCain and Bush did today.

I think what the bush administration is proposing is to transfer legal jurisdiction of debts from the Courts to the Executive Branch.
I don't think this bail out is Constitutional.

Screw you and the pig you rode in on.
For months I've been reading lots of comments by bloggers who seemed to think that the Republicans were looking for some way to cancel the elections. My impression, until now, has been.....great, conspiracy theorists never die.
But now we have one of the candidates who wishes to cancel not one, but two of the debates that so many citizens base their presidential vote on.
The theory that these power-hungry Republicans may want to cancel the election in light of all the economic turmoil now seems a little more credible. These are desperate people.

Cafferty is the best!
I don't see this as a big conspiracy. Instead, I see the same individuals who came up with that lipstick angle coming up with this angle. In order to shift focus from the issues, namely was McCain dressing up Bush's trickle down economics (putting lipstick on a pig). McCain's Rove wannabes tried to switch the topic to being an attack on Palin.
This declining to debate is McCain's attempt to look "Presidential" as well as avoiding the issues. McCain is weak on the issues, and this week, his "surge in Iraq" approach will hardly trump the economy.
The funny notion being sold by McCain and to a lesser extent, by Obama, is that there should be no public discourse on the bailout of the mortgages, and the bailout of the speculative derivatives. Not even an acknowledgment that these are two separate items.
Mick, I'm so sad to agree with you. Those transparent fuckers. And maybe they can just declare themselves dictators due to the crisis. Holy shit.

Mark Halperin gives the week to McCain!
Hmmmmmm..Postpone BOTH debates..huh????
Reasons:
1. Those fat cats he worked for to block regulation made a phone call and told him to he his geezer in Washington and speak up for them and earn his Campaign contributions.
2. The economy gaffes on his solutions to the mess will be stamped all over his forehead for the audience to see.
3. Palin/Biden debate could be VIRTUALLY eliminated since there are two prez debates.
4. With the economic crisis and with Bush near dictatorial power, maybe Bush will cancel the whole dang election.
5. McCain is really tired (at least he looked like he had some perk up meds to do that press conference). He is and old man and early to rise and late to bed is wearing him down.
6. He wants Obama to look bad since he stated Obama would rather lose a war to win an election. Duh.....
7. Palin's total embarrasment on the Katie Curic interview showed she is NOT so ready to answer any real substantive questions.
Sooooooo...if he suspends his campaign and wants to delay the debates, why not Mrs. Palin run the campaign in his absence??? After all, if she can't handle the campaign in his absence....HOW THE HECK CAN SHE BE QUALIFIED TO RUN THE COUNTRY???????????
But seriously, does anyone think these people will leave office willingly? Anyone think they won't sow salt as they depart?
Take a look at the hatred their supporters spew on comment threads, the illogical views they have of politics and the world, the way that facts play no role in their lives. The way they flat-out lie, and accept lies from their leaders.
They have so contorted reality that they've made Palin into a madonna and savior rolled into one. They project their own weaknesses and qualities onto us--liberals are hateful and sexist and racist.
They are all about a self-fulfilling narrative and nothing about the real world.
A large number of these rightwingers actually believe that the rapture is approaching. They think they are part of the army of the righteous. I'm not exaggerating--read the stuff they write, read the stuff that they themselves read.
I would be very surprised if they go quietly, and if they don't start low-level domestic terrorism soon after the election, even if it is only stuff like petty vandalism and such.
An Obama victory and Democratic gains in Congress would challenge their entire view of who they are and what they thought America was. They will be like a dinosaur--kill the head, but the body will still thrash around for awhile afterward.

It seems that the POW war hero is history. He's just plain chicken. He's become a coward. And when he's not running for cover, he's hiding behind the pit bull's skirt. This is truly pathetic (but scary).
why is john the bush republican RUNNING....
....because RUNNING is the fastest he can do.... if he had a jet he'd be FLYING
McCain lost at least two planes as a pilot. I don't think we want him piloting his own plane flying around the U.S.A. However, he is a 72 year old war hero who is delusional enough to think what he thinks which is maverick. I guess maverick is code for "crazy, PTSD" (McCain is blinking alot into the camera more than usual these days). I hope he's not revisiting the Hanoi Hilton.
Can anyone say, "Cut and run."
Bush and Cheney need to be impeached, fined, and imprisioned. If not while in office put in jail afterwards. They are a disgrace to humanity.

lol...oh i dunno, only took about 5 minutes to write. why? did it take you about 10 to read?
you might use "the google" and look up political satire.
Did anyone else notice, Wolf had a bit of president Bush's cum in his beard?
Ducking the debates? I believe they call it "cut and run".
If McCain wants a delay on the debate and suspends his campaign to focus on the current economic problems......he is going at it all wrong.
To me, this is abandoning the post of leadership.
Let me remind the ones that are aware of the 'Rabbit Hole', this is going as David Icke said it would.
Problem..they create.....Reaction..we want them to fix it.......Solution...they offer a solution to problems they created.
1. Problem
2. Reaction
3. Solution
All to lead us to beg for relief...opening the door to total dictatoship. New World Order (NWO/OWN) Thus, they have our support to rule over his anyway they want because we will comply just for relief and only they can help us.
Search...Freedom to facism and David Icke ,( We were warned)

Ummm...dunno why that didn't work...
Lemme try again...
I was half expecting Bush to suspend the election and declare martial law during last nights speech.
As for McSpain...he wanting to delay or cancel the debates for himself and Palin, because he knows they're both gonna be exposed as the charlatans they are.
Funny I don't remember McPOW suspending his campaign and running back to the Senate to help get the GI bill passed
I LOVE Jack Cafferty, even back when he was on the local news in NYC.
"With all due respect to the president..."
HA, that's not very much if you ask me!
...and the reasons he's running from the debate? He knows he's going to get grilled about the financial situation and will get REAMED for having two opposing opinions in one day (the "our fundamentals are strong" - "oh crap did I just say that, I mean they're not strong" fiasco). And he knows that he's going to get raked over the coals for a complete lack of understanding that the regular joe's and jill's are going to suffer because the folks in charge handed out too much power to a select few financial entities, and for denying that there's a problem with the economy just because it sounds better to toe the party line & say that we're doing okay when we're not doing okay.
I do love Obama's response about the need for a presidential candidate to multitask and address more than one issue at a time, bravo!!

Weak bladder.
The war hero doesn't want to fight Obama because he prefers hiding behind Palin's skirt.
McCain wants to cancel the debate because he is really sick.
Check out the recent blogs wondering what is wrong with his left eye,
and why he has a new $5K makeup artist,
and why he refuses to release his medical records.
No doubt his oncologist practices in D.C., where he wants to move the debate.
I'll bet that 90 minutes of HDTV and Klieg lights will reveal his deteriorating condition.
Wait a minute... let me ask a couple of questions here. If McCain conspired with other house republicans to block the bailout vote, while the president and others (almost everyone) kept the chicken-little story running 24/7, then after three days and nights of doubt and uncertainty, at the very last minute, McCain flies in low, his supporters (co-conspirators) in the house cave-in to the force-full, nation saving, fighter-pilot, maverick (who would risk becoming president to put country first). Then the bill is signed, the nation can breathe again, the home-owners are saved, and McCain becomes a hero figure to the nation again. The real leader this country needs! Leaving a slow talking, call-me -if-you-need-me, analytical, wet-behind-the-ears, skinny black man, standing on the stage in Mississippi with his dick in his hand.... Until, McCain rushes on stage, breathless and battered, to give a wounded hero's halting answers... yet wins the debate on guts alone! Doesn't this sound like the most audacious dirty trick ever played on an unsuspecting democratic ticket? What could Obama do? How would he combat the coast-to-coast surge that McCain would realize? It would take the remaining 39 days to draw even again, and the closer the election is... the easier it is to steal!
