Well, you have to read a bit further perhaps....I am livid with Sen McCain for the vote on the bail out filled with all the pork. I disagree on any number of issues with him.
If you think the any deregulation by Sen McCain got us into this mess, you are not trying to find out facts. What first comes to my mind is a comment by Jim Cramer on MSNBC the other morning, a Democrat and Obama supporter...he said and I am paraphrasing that he was impressed although not supporting Sen McCain (and he did make that very clear) when Sen McCain came out and called for the firing of the SEC head. Now Sen McCain was verbally abused for that, but a person that at least I trust in Jim Cramer, said it was the only sane voice he heard....anyway, the mess we are in.....if you go back two years...Sen McCain said there was a problem with Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac...laughed at again...there were committe hearings where the Democrats said that it was a personal lynching...but lo and behold they were wrong and had the chance two years ago to fix it.
As far as Sen Obama is concerned, you know how I feel so your thrust certainly isnt aimed at me..I have been very clear...and I think you are the one who called him an "empty suit" during the primary....he is, at this point anyway, an "empty suit" to most folks who oppose him...I dont think as many people SUPPORT Sen McCain as are.....searching for a word so you dont come at me....apprehensive (hows that) about Sen Obama.
I dont know if this reponds to you...but there are many many things I disagree with Sen McCain on but I can see his record of over 20 years very very clearly and cannot say that about Sen Obama. And I am not saying we never take a chance, but to repeat my theme....I consider Sen Obama to be a radical left wing politician who believes in big government and having a Democratic congress at his whim is for me something to be "apprehensive" about. And remember I said with a Democratic Congress so you keep what I say in context !
When you have a candidate with no clear public record and lets say some
gray" areas in his background, this is what you have to expect !
