Picture taken from http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/09/28/mccain-palin-letterman-and-snl-what-a-week/You know, I really wanted to be a neutral blogger. This campaign has made my claws come out though. I can't stand people who can lie with a bold face. McCain flat out lied to David Letterman. If you saw Letterman last night, you know that John McCain, said he was going BACK to Washington DC to play political patty cake with the experts who drove our economy down the road it's on, in order to push through a deal that could bankrupt millions more Americans. Don't expect a bail out for common folks either. Does anyone remember a few months ago when McCain said he didn't know much about the economy? So, what exactly can he bring to the table? I mean, someone who said that the "fundamentals" of our economy is strong, has suspended his campaign so that he can "save" the country from a overly bloated proposal to bail out irresponsible CEOs and investment bankers. I mean...nevermind the fact that over 20 years ago, he was one of the HIGHLY controversial Keating 5. Proceed to read article below.

In my opinion, John Mccain cancelled his appearance, probably because he got a phone call from one of his lobbying buddies that went a little something like this:
Lobbyist Buddy: "Hey John...how's the campaign thing going?"
The Mac: "Going good man. I mean, I'm a little down in the polls but I'll think of something to make myself look more patriotic than Obama. What's going on?"
Lobbyist Buddy: "What in the world is George (the president) thinking? They're going to bail out Jim over there at Washington Mutual, but what about [insert name of irresponsible multi-million dollar corporation]? Go make sure they put us in the plan too, John. I mean, me and Sandra want to get in on this action. You know Tom is going to Harvard next year and we just bought our 7th house. I'd hate for us to have to postpone our $2.7 million dollar house warming party John. You know, we go way back, John. I got all our boys lined up behind ya. You're going to be president John. I mean, we are all banking on it, literally. Go add us to that plan".
The Mac: " Jim, you know I got your back my friend. Tell Sandra and Tom, Cindy and I said hi. We wouldn't miss that housewarming party for the world. That's why I'm trying to cancel this debate. I'll have to cancel my appearance with that looney Letterman guy. I'm going to get up to DC now and make sure you all are taken care of my friends."
Lobbyist Buddy: " You're the MAC daddy John. Later buddy. Bye"
[Hangs up phone]
[then John's phone rings again]
"Hi, Senator this is Katie Couric.
The Mac: " Hi Katie, I really got to hurry to help my fr...I mean, negotiate this bailout plan. How can I help you?"
Katie: "Can you stop by real quick for an interview? I promise I'll be nice!" [Katie smiles real big while holding her fingers crossed]
The Mac: "Sure Katie. No Problem"
[they both hang up phones]
[John picks up phone to call David Letterman]
The Mac: "Hey Dave, this is John Mccain"
David Letterman: " Wow, this is such an honor! How can I help you Mr. Senator?"
The Mac: "I'm sorry Dave, but I have to cancel my appearance on your show today, Katie Cou...I mean, the country needs me to help us out of this mess."
[David Letterman thinking, "Did he just say Katie Couric? Naaahhh."
David Letterman: "Alright, Mr Senator. I can undertstand that. You've always been a man willing to put others before yourself so I applaud your actions".
Well, you know what happened after that.
Anyway, John McCain wants to cancel a debate that's been in the making for over a year, millions of dollars have been spent on it already and local business owners who are struggling during this economy was hoping this debate could bring more business to them and possible save their businesses. John McCain is once again, playing politics at the expense of millions.
McCain says he's a maverick but he's really just erratic.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN!!!
