MCCAIN SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN, POSTPONES DEBATE, BLAMES FINANCIAL CRISIS

[halfstep]

this just in..mccain says the financial crisis is too big and wants to delay debate and suspend campaig?..BULLSHIT...this is a way to make financial crisis seem bigger to get congress to pass bailout and gets him out of the debate which he cant win...

1. Welcome to DU

You captured it in a nutshell.

[dchill]

2. This is a cynical political response to...

Obama's campaign having reached out to McCain early this morning.

edit to add: Oh, and Welcome to DU!

3. McCain is a CHICKENSHIT.

He knows that he's going to get his clock cleaned by Obama and a likely question about his campaign manager being a WHORE for reduced banking regulation.

MCCAIN IS A COWARD.

4. I just hope and pray this is not a forerunner to

cancelling the election. :tinfoilhat:

8. My thoughts exactly...

McCain suspends campaign, Bush postpones election due to national emergency. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

5. Oh yeah? Can't the old guy multi-task? Or is he just plain

[Union Thug]

6. This is an excuse for McLame to hide from public scrutiny. The guy is a coward...

Big POW tough guy. Yeah, right. What a puke.

7. Obama absolutely NEEDS to call him out. But he has to do it with the elegance of an English lord.

Which he has already, but be EXTREMELY gentle and polite while doing that.

9. And exactly WHERE did you hear this?

Some kind of link might be nice...

10. McCain surrenders?

Well, who in his right mind would want to be POTUS when US collapses? But for some "strange" reason the voters for a long time seemed actually prefer a good ole white boy over an uppity brown person (perfect guy to take the fall >:= ), so no choise but to let Wall Street tumble and surrender the campaing?

Cynical? Moi?

11. talk about shock doctrine

thanks for the welcomes too!!!
this is pure shock doctrine..mccain cant possibly win the debate (every day he says more ridiculus things that i am convinced he is senile) so he gets out of it....what a good way to show the sheople how big this crisis is (big enough to suspend a presidential campaign)..maybe even mccain gets to be the hero as he rides in (avoids debate) and saves the day and gets the bill passed....despicable!!

12. no links needed...ITS EVERYWHERE

13. He may as well suspend his campaign

His numbers are going south.
