So it looks like we have a major financial crises facing us and congress is now in a shoot-out over just what to do. McCain rides into town using this as an excuse not to face Obama tonight(maybe/maybe not) and not wanting to upset the conservative base he is seemingly siding with. What happened to his claim of leading in "crossing the isle" to reach compromise on critical issues. Isn't the presidential race something above the issues of the day and focused on what the candidates are supposed to do if and when elected? Isn't tonight's debate a great opportunity to reach an estimated 100 million people and build support for their plans to resolve this and other major challenges facing the country? And as to "Sarah Barracuda", is there any truth to the rumor that McCain is thinking of dropping her from the ticket given her radically dropping numbers? These are not meant to rhetorical questions, so please get back to with your views/answers.

McCain/Palin are Lying to Us!
Dear Friends,
I'd like to refer you to a few newsworthy op eds recently appearing in the national and local press. The one readily available to you was published in this week's Time and was written by Joe Klein, a conservative republican writer entitled "The Lying Game". "Every politician stretches the truth. But McCain is running a uniquely dishonest campaign". Considering the source, everyone in this country should read this insightful article. It turns out that John McCain is as sleazy (Klein's word) as they come. Not included in this piece was a yet to be written backgrounder on McCain. The only reason he ever was accepted by the Naval Academy was because of his father and grandfather, both having risen to the rank of Admiral. I've been told that he finished dead last in his class. That after he return from Vietnam, finding his wife severely injured and permanently disfigured, he went on a hunt to find a trophy wife with big bucks. He fell in love with his current wife, Cindy, a very wealthy beer distributor heiress, or at least we are led to believe he fell in love. After convincing her to marry him he then filed for a marriage licence weeks before filing divorce papers from his now previous wife. You read everyday in the papers how he is manipulating the campaign finance reforms to tap the very sources of money that the McCain/Fiengold bill was supposed to make illegal. His campaign staff is made up of some of the most powerful lobbyists in this country contrary to his previously stated desire to limit the powers of lobbyists. He has little to say positive and rather than addressing the issues, he is attacking Obama with untruths. Do we really know where he stands on anything? Or what he stands for? And what about Sarah "Barracuda"? That for another day.
