----OH GOD--Now the republicans are acting like McCain is a SAINT!!!-----

[1corona4u]

He's doing the right thing, insinuating that Obama is NOT doing the right thing. Tweety is calling Hatch on it right now...


I am so pissed, but this will NOT work.

[1corona4u]

1. ..

[LSparkle]

2. Oh that old windbag Hatch ... who gives a rat's ass about him?

Typical Orrin "I'm so outraged, I'm just going to BLOW UP"
Hatch hyperbole. He's so full of hot air it's unbelievable.

[earthside]

3. What else can they do?

It is not a 'Hail Mary' ... McCain just punted.

[Ilsa]

4. It'll be on another McCain ad by Saturday. I hope SNL goes after him.

Cancelling the debate over this is ridiculous.

[1corona4u]

6. This is just so fucking stupid...

and I hope people get it....Waters is ripping on him right now...

[Ilsa]

21. I heard her. She didn't pull any punches over this. nt

[BrainStorm]

5. And you expected the GOP to criticize him?

Really?

[1corona4u]

7. No, I expected them to crawl under a rock.

or back under it.

8. Orrin Hatch saying McCain is risking the presidency on behalf of America

Then McCain should permanently suspend his campaign to stay at home and that would be even better for America.

[1corona4u]

13. Yes, exactly.

get the fuck out McCain!!!

[Starry Messenger]

9. I had a feeling that was their response plan.

So, I'm more amused than anything. Obama got a great statement out in front before the McCain surrogates could start to play catch up with McCrazy.

[deadparrot]

10. So what?

They're Republicans. Of course they're going to stand up for him on TV, no matter how much or little they agree with him in private. With Congress being a lost cause on their side, he's their only chance of a victory in November.

11. This Is A Rovian Stunt - The Talking Points Are Circulated To The Repugs....

look for other Repugs to echo Hatch's points. This is the October Surprise folks - you are looking at it in its full form.

This is politics at its best(worst).

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

23. If I were Karl Rove, I'd sue you...

Rovian Stunts (tm) are typically a little more subtle than this. What McCain did today was to simply hand the election over to Obama.

Nobody is buying this.

McCain hasn't voted in the Senate for nearly four months. He's not a member of the Finance Committee. He's got nothing to do other than show up and vote.

[Clio the Leo]

12. um, there's only ONE saint around here........

.... and it aint john McCain

[1corona4u]

15. LOL...

[azmouse]

14. I love the smell of Rep desperation!!

In the morning, in the afternoon. or evening... it doesn't matter.

Oh how pathetic those people have become.

[vaberella]

16. Every MSM member sees Obama as the saint and McCain as a floundering fish 5 miles from sea. n/t

[1corona4u]

17. I can't wait to see how this washes out.

[anonymous171]

22. Mostly because he just cheated them out of a lot of good ratings.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Tweety should have asked him why McCain wouldn't take any questions

I think that point is gonna become a big issue soon.

[kckc]

19. same here on local loony toons talk radio

sorry about the redundancy. Is there any other kind of talk radio? (no Air America in this area. But I digress...) Just heard a lunatic woman try to spin this as McCain looking extremely presidential and not putting politics first. She also mentioned that McStupid would blow Obama away at the debate and that this country is IN A CRISIS OMG and we need a leader like McCain! She was SERIES how HUGH!! this is. :eyes:

[Clyde39]

20. This "crisis" isn't brand new!

Why the sudden change to get back to "Warshington" when he's been absent for so many months?

[Lugnut]

24. They obviously think we're stupid.

They are completely clueless.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. Like the people of Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles - support me or I'll end my campaign

like Clevon Little holding a revolver to his head.
