McSame has called a timeout. Lets see how the IA conservatives justify this, wtf can he do for the economy? All he has is a senate vote and maybe a proposal.. sounds like someone wasn't prepared for friday.

I swear this is no different than if I wasnt prepared for a test in school and I beg the teacher for an extension.

:blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: He is still a senator. This could be a move by the campaign to show the he is a man of action and not just talk. Ever think of that?

do you honestly believe that and how would that make him a man of action? i mean honestly you knew about the date a year ago; moving it will not help our economy. i think there is more pointing to political tricks then action.

Can he not do that at the debates though? Would he really cheat the voters out of seeing him debate to be seen as a "man of action"? Thats pretty low.

I really hope they can do something for the economy, but I don't think the situation is so critical they need to cancel the debates.

Are you people serious? The guy is collecting a check as a U.S. Senator and you want to him to neglect his job at a pivotol time so you can watch the two of them argue and take cheap shots at each other?


McCain wants to create a "political free zone" until a deal is reached on legislation for a $700 billion bailout of the financial industry.

"It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the administration's proposal," McCain said. "I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time."

"If we do not act, every corner of our country will be impacted," McCain said. "We cannot allow this to happen."

McCain also canceled his planned appearance Wednesday on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" program.


The Obama campaign said the Illinois senator had called McCain around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to propose that they issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible. McCain called back six hours later and agreed to the idea of the statement, the Obama campaign said. McCain's statement about postponing his campaign was issued to the media a few minutes later.

Seems to me like McCain just took it one step further than Obama was willing too



McCain's statement was an effort to show leadership on an issue that has spread economic fears across the country and overshadowed the presidential campaign just six weeks from Election Day.

McCain said he wants President Bush to convene a leadership meeting in Washington that would include him and Obama.

The economy has not been McCain's strongest suit, and his move was an attempt to turn it into an opportunity to show he's the candidate of bipartisanship and action. Recent polls showed Obama with an advantage with voters in handling the economy.

Jesus christ people pull you're heads out of you're ass.

A man of action would allow the public to view both candidates AS SCHEDULED, we've waited 5 months for this **** and 72 hours ahead he wants to postpone it? Its a lame ass excuse, he is not going to make a difference in the state of the economy.

Ok so **** it have the debate. Cause a debate will really have so much effect on what is happening NOW rather than doing what they were elected and paid to do by joining congress to figure out a plan?

Paul do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds. While I do believe that this could quite possibly just be more political BS. At least he will be doing something.

No he can't. Having a debate on National Television is not the same as being in Washington with Congress banging out a plan for our ecconomy.

The debate was already arranged a year in advance. He's backing down from a callout that he accepted. If this were a street race in the killsforum you guys would be trying to have him banned. :cheers:

Is his presence so important that he has to be there? He's not known for his economic leadership within his own party, even he has said that. So it seems to me like he is just out for glory here.

Street Racing=Ecconomic Crisis? I think not. The debate was aranged a year ago yes but did we know a year ago that last week our ecconomy would be hanging in the balence with a major decision from congress THIS WEEK?

Only the blinded cannot see that this is a slap in the face to the American people. We are getting ready to elect a president and McCain being on that stage friday night is very intricate in the steps toward a resolution. We need to know where McCain stands in contrast to Obama, to not show up would be absolutely stupid on McCain's part and his campaign will suffer greatly for it.

It just seems to me like he's backing down from a challenge. Lots of stuff going on... companies tanking, gas shortage in the Southeast (his power base), etc. Maybe he is trying to buy a little time and build up his approval rating a bit.

I think he's counting on a break to let some of the tension dissolve before the debates. I think he just found out that the fundamentals are not sound. :lmfao:

While we wait, we should also have only the two heads, from the two biggest parties define the rules on who does and doesn't get to debate. Then of course we can exclude "weird" third parties guys that might actually know something, and win the debate, and just keep the puppets talking.

to be honest, and prepare for a shocker....


I see both sides.

I think it was great of Obama to say he was going to try an get past the partisan stuff to get this passed, but actions speak louder than words.

I applaud Mccain for suspending his campaign because there is BIGGER issues at hand.

I also agree with Obama, that regardless what happens someone in 41 days is going to have to deal with this no matter what debate or not.

Im on the fence, but im leaning towards the debates should be not be postponed.

i think it would do alot of good for Obama and Mccain to go to Washington and jumpstart both their parties into stop bullsh!tting and get something done. Obama said some great things about not trying to get too much done with this and just get something done that will work. Address smaller issues after our main financial system is ok.

I do think they should both go to Washington, i do think the debates should go forward.

Yahoo is as liberal as CNN and NBC sorry.

Obama has ducked Mccain for awhile on debating as well. So it could go either way.

I do agree with Tony that if Mccain is not there, on Fri, it will be a devastating blow to his campaign

He's known about the date of the debate for a while now, he's had plenty of time to prepare and 'work on the economy'-this is a pathetic last minute attempt to delay something that intimidates him. Granted Palin has about the same amount of political intelligence as Paris Hilton and will undoubtedly make a fool of herself-but that's a possibility mccain should have accepted when he chose her as his VP. Bottom line, mccain has no valid reason to postpone the debate. And quite frankly, mccain's only hurting himself by trying this sucker-play.

"I've asked Senator Obama to join me in town halls across the nation,"

Obama initially seemed enthusiastic about the idea when it was floated by Mark McKinnon, an adviser to McCain, as it became clear in early May that Obama was going to win the Democratic nomination.

"I think it's a great idea," Obama said at the time.

they have to do separate campaigning ... it would be cool to see 1 vs 1 throughout campaign but what would be the point... opposition would always complain b/c who would be in charge of screened questions, location, etc everything involved. it would be different if we weren't running a 2 horse race.

McCain isn't doing his job by delaying debates... he isn't going to be around to vote on anything anyway. Why don't you look into their voting records both having voted since last year on anything. They've been campaigning. Best thing for McCain to do is to show up and stop trying to create press on how diplomatic he is... they need to go toe 2 toe on a nationally televised event in front of millions.

Reps if I can. :goodjob:

Obama wants to run his own campaign and has proven very capable in doing so. Nationally televised debates are the best way to bring the debates to the people. Town halls are great for localized stuff like Senate/House races but not the best arena for debate on a national scale, especially concerning broad issues like foreign policy and the economy.

And when you look at McCain's track record with airplanes... I wouldn't fly with him. :lmfao:

They are useless if you only have one candidate on stage. You don't think the media would go nuts if they started having town halls with the both of them on the same stage at the same time talking about the issues? These forums are equally as useless as Town Halls yet they get huge press because they are in the same building.

Now put them on stage at the same time and see how useless they are on a national level :goodjob: .

b/c the debates drill down into the issues... many things will spiral off of debates: undecided voters, contradictions, see them under pressure, more detailed info on policy, etc

"It's preposterous that we can't have a presidential debate in the middle of this economic crisis. We had a presidential campaign in 1864, when Sherman was marching on Atlanta. We had a presidential election in 1944, when D-Day was going on in Normandy," he said. "We can have a debate on Friday. In fact, it's probably the most important thing McCain and them could be doing, would be to debate the issues."

they can do both.
+ last week McCain said our economy is fundamentally strong.....

now this is urgent?

I really want to hear what he has to say. I mean I could potentially be swayed. I say that with a tinge of sarcasm, but I know there are a lot of voters who are on the fence and I really wouldn't vote for a candidate without first hearing them debate :goodjob:

.McCain wants to create a "political free zone" until a deal is reached on legislation for a $700 billion bailout of the financial industry.

"It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the administration's proposal," McCain said. "I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time."

"If we do not act, every corner of our country will be impacted," McCain said. "We cannot allow this to happen."

McCain also canceled his planned appearance Wednesday on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" program.


rEALLY



David Letterman absolutely tore John McCain a new one on Wednesday's show, after McCain supposedly called Dave at the last minute to cancel his appearance because he had to "race to the airport" to go watch after our crappy economy.

But here's the kicker: Later on, Dave cut to live footage of Johnny boy getting his makeup done for an interview with Katie Couric -- only a couple blocks away from Dave's studio and far from an airport.

After Dave busted McCain with his pants down, he used the opportunity to rail his elder some more.

Eh I could care less that he blew off Letterman. If he had time for one interview I could totally understand him canceling the Letterman interview and keeping the Couric interview.

Think of it this way. You're grandmother's dying and you got enough time to make one stop. Do you buy beer or do you go to church and pray?

that is the lamest rebuttal ever... you've been d!ck riding on how he is going to "DO WHAT HE IS PAID FOR AND GO BACK TO WASHINGTON" and McCain tells letterman "i'm flying back to washington can't make it"... ya he shows up live on Couric down the street.

:lmfao: whatever dude he straight up lied and got owned for being a liar.

Not even down the street, it was in the same building. Mac called Dave and told him he was flying to D.C. but in fact he hadn't even left the building.:lmfao:

Mac and Dave are personal friends. Mac even announced his candidacy on Dave's show. Its one thing to cancel an interview on an entertainment show to give priority to a news show, but he didn't tell Dave he was going on the evening news. He told him he was going to D.C. right away. Mac just flat out lied to a good friend... bad character IMO. :rolleyes:
