John McCain has come up with an absolutely brilliant and novel approach to addressing our economic hemoraging, and Economic Commission. I have been a several state-wide commissions to "fix" some thing or another. Thoughts:

1) Most commissions don't fix anything, they just meet a lot, produce a report and then congratulate themselves on the soon to be sitting on a dusty shelf never read report.

2) Most commissions are made up of people who caused the damn problem themselves and end up producing recommendations that are either useless or support the status quo.

3) John McCain offered today that the "fundementals of the economy are still strong." Which fundementals are those John? Do you mean that 25 million forclosures? Do you mean the Bear Stearns bail out? do you mean the government takeover of Fannie May and Freddie Mac? Do you mean the decreased median family income? Do you mean the outsourcing of thousands or American jobs to foreign countries?

4) Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett Packert is one of McCain's economic advisors. This is the same CEO who left HP, when told to by the HP Board with a 42 million golden parachute. This is the kind of greed that Palin just campaigned on yesterday. Oh, almost forgot to add, Fiorina opinioned today when asked:

Quote:Milhaven: Does Sarah Palin -- John McCain obviously thinks she has the experience to become president of the United States. Do you think she has the experience to run a major company like Hewlett Packard?
Fiorina: No, I don't. But you know what, that's not what she's running for. (Laughs) Running a corporation is a different set of things.

So, Sarah could run the country if asked, but not HP? Hmmm. Wait, now I feel better about the Republican ticket, McCain is not qualified to run HP either:
Fiorina defended her statement by extending the lack of qualities to John McCain.

"

Quote:Well, I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation," she told Mitchell.

"If John McCain's top economic advisor doesn't think he can run a corporation, how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world in the midst of a financial crisis?" Vietor asked. "Apparently even the people who run his campaign agree that the economy is an issue John McCain doesn't understand as well as he should."

5. Phil Graham is John McCain's top economic advisor. This is the same Phil Graham who pushed through legislative repeal of depression era laws that regulated banks.

6. John McCain is now pushing for economic reform. This is the same McCain who recently said that he is basically not in favor of regulations.

Quote:So, Sarah could run the country if asked, but not HP?

No Sarah Palin could not run HP, she has no expertise there. Neither could Barack, Joe, or McCain. But she has run a business, ran a city, and ran a state. She has experience at "running large entities."

Can you name one thing that the #1 guy on your ticket has run?
Lemonade stand? Does a pick up game at the Y count?

Dip, your candiate is being exposed as shallow, unprepared and a liar. Now she is trying to quash Troopergate as it is a "political witchhunt with a predetermined outcome."

Actually is it a bi-partisian commission with three republicans and two democrats.

More importantly, the issues are more and more clear to most Americans when McCain says things like "the fundementals of the economy are strong."

Get ready for a major meltdown of historic proportions for the inept Republicans.

I asked a simply question.................Name one thing your #1 guy on your ticket has run.

You make a big deal out of Palin not being CEO material for HP. How bout Barry. Does he write code in his spare time? Was he destined for Silicon Valley had he not taken the job of "community organizer?" Fill me in on his resume of running something.

Troopergate ehhhhhh.................eewwwwwwww. Scandal

You mean firing a guy who tazered his 10 year old son. Gosh, I can see public opinion really swaying away from her on that one

We have real issues and sniveling about a VP candidate does not address those or give any degree of confidence that Obama can and is able. I'm really bummed about his lack of campaign, just today he slammed McCain's proposal and then said, "that's old news, I'll do better". Never did say what or how.....he's good. But it'll wear thin.

Details please Dems, soon or you've lose my vote and I'm not kidding.

Quote:Dip, your candiate is being exposed as shallow, unprepared and a liar.

Which candidate is that? You have 4 that fit that description from the two major parties.

NO kidding, that's a moot point now, I said that when McCain chose her as VP. The scorecard has been leveled, time to talk issues. Instead, we hear about her bra size, her hunting expedition, her working from home and from the other side, wonderful sound bite, rally them up speeches from Obama.

What a travesty. Each time it gets worse, I guess they thought that we would be ready for this mess that they put forth. I'm not.

John McCain is part of the Banking Commission. He along with Republicans fell asleep at the wheel.

Dems started the housing mess under slick Willie though, all parties involved.

Republicans controlled Congress. There is a common denominator, Republican Congress (1994-2006).

Hey, good point, but that's when it started. Need more info?

Dip, whether Wooten, her former brother in law is a bad guy or not is irrelevent. She is now engaging in cover ups and running from the commission. Something bad happened or she would not be tyring to quash the investigation.

Local Veiws of Palin:

Oh lord you site Salon.com................why not just site MoveOn.org.

The guy was a bad guy he needed to be fired. He was caught drinking in his police car, and tazered his own kid. When she gave the directive to fire him, the man assigned that task didn't do it. On several occasions he didn't follow orders regard budget matters either. He was fired for being insubordinate. I saw three lawyers review this who had read all of the email memos. They said, THERE IS NOTHING HERE.

But hey, you keep thinking it, and keep blabbing it. All this does is makes the woman more popular.

Quote:But hey, you keep thinking it, and keep blabbing it. All this does is makes the woman more popular

Ah, no, quite the opposite actually:

Quote:But then a funny thing happened: Palin seems to have lost some of her luster. Since Sept. 13, Palin's unfavorables have climbed from 30 percent to 36 percent. Meanwhile, her favorables have slipped from 52 percent to 48 percent. That's a three-day net swing of -10 points, and it leaves her in the Sept. 15 Diageo/Hotline tracking poll tied for the smallest favorability split (+12)** of any of the Final Four. Over the course of a single weekend, in other words, Palin went from being the most popular White House hopeful to the least.
