The Colbert Report: John McCain Suspends His Campaign So He Can Fix the Economy
Stephen can't think of anything more presidential than suspending your presidential campaign.
Will John McCain help the economic meltdown by returning to Washington, or is he just avoiding the debates?

Anon and BJ, I knew that my comments would generate more hateful, but non-backed name calling. You still had no response to my comment. Address the issues guys. Defend your man and all that I accused him of…his church, his associates, his tax raising, and his lack of leadership. And what's wrong with Palin? She has more experience than Obama, am I wrong? He's spent his 2 years in the senate campaigning. and BJ, sorry for leaving of the e.
LOL, McCain cant even fix his own lying ability, so how is he going to "fix" the economy? What a joke. I cannot believe anyone with a single brain cell would take McBush seriously.

Isn't multi-tasking a valued skill to have when running for President? McCain = Fail
I guess I landed in a FAR left blog here. I didn't know there was so much ignorant hate. Media suckers you all are. It's gonna be another hard 4 years for you guys. My points are not being considered. You smell a republican and get all red in the face, I can see it. OUT!
De-regulation is self- regulation.
Self- regulation is self discipline.
The tree of self discipline needs to be watered regularly with the blood of pigs and fools.
Stop the Bail Out!
Let the pigs and the fools get slaughtered.
Time to water the Tree of Self Discipline
One reason Palin is useless: she's a creationist. Such ignorance should never sniff a position such as VP. The fact that she is shows how incredibly ignorant many Americans are. It's just astounding.
You're right Nate. She goes to a church who's pastor hunts witches. Much more civilized.
BTW, what's to be scared of with Palin? She's a dumb coont. Polls already show it did nothing.
I'll bet you were looking at the polls after the RNC and said "ZOMG, it's all over, look at the polls."
And I'll bet you look at the polls now and say "well, polls, they don't really matter anyway."
Long story short, you are a tool.
"In what respect, Charle?"
"It's true that Obama voted "present" dozens of times, part of the thousands of votes he cast in an eight-year span in Springfield. Illinois lawmakers commonly vote that way on a variety of issues, and he has countered that many of those votes were cast because of technical or legal considerations about the underlying legislation.
Often, Obama voted "present" with large groups of other Democrats to protest what they saw as Republican trickery or abuse of power. Other times, voting that way sends a message that a lawmaker supports a bill's intent, but has concerns about how the legislation is drafted. Voting this way also can be a way to duck a difficult issue, as McCain charged, although that's difficult to prove."

There are also cases where legislators vote "present" as part of a strategy. Obama did this on some abortion measures, voting "present" to encourage some wavering legislators to do the same instead of voting "yes". Their "present" votes had the same effect as "no" votes, so getting them to vote present helped defeat the bills
Nate…with all the mud you're trying to hit Obama with, you're forgetting 2 WORDS in regards to McCain and the economy:
Keating 5.
This madness trumps anything you're trying to trash Obama with.
Try again.
I'm so sick of people claiming that "X will raise your taxes so don't vote for that party!"
Here's precisely what will happen to your taxes:

If you make more than $300k per year, you probably favor McCain's plan. Otherwise, you're probably in favor of Obama's plan. That means, statistically speaking, 98.5% of you favor Obama's plan. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Income )
