Blech ...
I just don't see and rational reason why the debate needs to be postponed because of the financial crisis.
BOTH of these guy is, I think, frightened to tell the people that they ARE BOTH going to go along with the plan to bail out the bond holders and banks.
I think our master class is beginning to realize that the good cop/bad cop game they're been playing against us isn't working anymore now that the TRUTH has outed about what a cozy relationship there has always been between the BANKS and the GOVERNMENT.
These guys cannot REALLY fix it because they have ALWAYS been in on it, folks.
Sooner or later many of you who think me some kind of commie are going to realize that the American people have been played for fools for a long long time.
Some of you doing well are finally going to get it that when some of us have been complaining about the FIXED GAME, that you people who work and make a decent living were NOT the people we were bitching about.
THE SUPER-RICH are not the guys who started their own bueinesses that serve the public and made a lot of money.
Nobody has any problem with those kinds of brilliant and useful capitalist getting rich as hell.
It's the good old-money boys and their minions who set up the game such that no matter what happened they profit who we have to get OUT of our system. Most of them are making their fortunes off the government to begin with, ya know.
We can't have a class of people comprising 1/10th% owning 40% of EVERYTHING and expect this nation to serve the people, folks.
There is such a thing as TOO MUCH CAPITALISM, you know.
There is too much corporate influence in Washington, and too much corporate control over our lives! Declare your independence, and put the people over the corporations.
Yeah and there are things we MUST do before that will happen.
1. FIX our campaign fiancing laws. The way we do it now guarantees that we become a nation by the rich for the rich.
And as we can see now, the rich are not all that fucking smart!

I just don't see and rational reason why the debate needs to be postponed because of the financial crisis.
That's because there isn't a rational reason for postponing the debate. In the event of a national emergency, the president ALWAYS gets on TV. So, McCain, who has no role with respect to the financial situation, can't manage to spend 90 minutes debating?
He's a wuss... And this would be interesting except he's screwing with our financial health as a country just so he can make a last ditch hail mary pass.
But as McCain said he's "a gambling man".
jillian, let me ask you something, and am not being condecending here, but, let's say a president was at a G-8 Summit meeting and all the sudden their was a crisis back home severe enough to call his attetion back home, do you think the president would stay at the conference or call it short in order come back to the United States in order to work in the issue? I'll give you another example, let's say the president is at a school giving a speech and there is an attack on the United States, do you suppose that persident should stay there giving the speech or return to Washington? See what I mean? Here's the difference, I mentioned this last night, John McCain like Barack Obama both "SWORE AN OATH" when they were inducted into the Senate, they have no such oath to campaign. so where do you suppose their first priority should be? They both serve their respective states then the people of the United States in the United States Senate, then are candidates for President in that order. Had they wanted that order to change one or the other of these men would have resigned their seats before running. They have an obligation , BOTH of them do in this matter, to be in Washington to represent the respective interests of the people who ELECTED them. As for a debate, since when, did the idea that TV is going to go off the air as of today?, it's unreasonable to expect John McCain to ignore whats going on in Washington when a debate can be held at anytime, and this must be attened to NOW. If a debate held so much sway for the Obama campaign, then tell me why theObama campaign failed to see it as so high a priority that he would not accept the McCain campaigns multiple invitations to town hall debates all over the country? You think the Obama campaign has too much vested in the election rather than being able to take a few days to focus on the interests on the Nation?
They have no role in finance. They aren't president. They aren't at a G-8. Right now McCain's JOB is to tell the American voter what his briliant ideas are to deal with this. He isn't on any finance committee. He was an obstructive presence yesterday. He hasn't voted on anything since April. He knows he has no knowledge of economics. He will get his hat handed to him, so he's running scared.
He has no business not appearing at the debate. He's obfuscating because he figures if he can run out the clock he has a better chance of winning the election.
I'll give you another example, let's say the president is at a school giving a speech and there is an attack on the United States, do you suppose that persident should stay there giving the speech or return to Washington?
