McCrap leaves the door open to supspending his campaign AGAIN

[npincus]

FUX anchors were goading Mccain today into saying he would suspend his campaign again this week... to which the creep said he would "do whatever it takes" to get a bailout deal.

David Kurtz at TPM writes, "John McCain made the morning show rounds today. On Fox they were virtually begging him to 'suspend' his campaign again in the wake of the bailout failure yesterday on the Hill. You know, since it worked out so well the first time. McCain's answer: He just might suspend again."

McCain's comments follow a blog post by William Kristol yesterday arguing, "if this is really 'a national economic crisis,' and others have failed to lead, then McCain should lead--by re-suspending his campaign (fine, let observers mock him when he announces this), and leading his party and the Congress towards a solution. They won't mock if he can pull this off."

1. He might as well. His campaign is toast, anyway

On the other hand, I LOVE watching the GOP throw money down the drain.

2. "if he can pull this off"

He couldn't pull it off the first time. Why does Kristol think a second time would be any different?

4. Kristol is a complete idiot neocon

McCain "left the door open" because it makes his first suspension look less like a cheap political stunt. Not much less, but a little less.

3. The next suspension might be on the day of the third debate. nt

5. If he "suspends" his campaign, does that mean the VP also doesn't debate?

I think I know their answer...

[Youphemism]

6. He'll never do it. Taking a break when you're 5-10 points behind is brain dead...

So great, let them goad him. Even McCain isn't that stupid, and it points out the hopelessly inconsistent policy of suspending the campaign for an emergency and not doing the same thing when that emergency gets even more dire.

7. I wish he would just end his campaign already.

:eyes:

8. Go for it buddy

The first one was such a success? :rofl:

9. Anything to get out of that VP debate!!

He will look like more of a fool than he already does.

10. Do it. Permanently. Just go home. Two villages need their idiots back. n/t

[wildflower]

11. "Again"?

He didn't do it the first time.
:shrug:

12. and at the same time the RNC has an attack ad out against the

bailout/rescue plan! Nobody calls them on this shit! Even the Obama people on tv say nothing! Pissing me off!

13. If McCain actually wanted to get something done on a bailout...

...the best thing he can do is stay as far away from D.C. as is humanly possible. Send him to Siberia, so Sarah Palin can keep an eye on him.

Seriously, though - it's essentially his fault the first one failed. When he "dramatically" flew in to D.C., he embarrassed himself in the White House meeting in which he was apparently slammed, repeatedly, by Barack Obama, then promptly paid the House Republicans a visit.

Then, he decides to take credit for the bailout's passage, before it, you know, didn't pass.

14. Suspension (McCainese): Publicly announcing you won't be appearing at already

non-scheduled campaign stops, avoiding certain talk shows in favor of others, allowing yor ads to run on TV, and allowing your surrogates to very visbly praise you for suspending your very visible non-campaign. Often pertains to going to a mysterious place known as "War Shington" to very publicly do nothing at important meetings with world leaders.

Also, allowing your surrogates to tell Americans that they shouldn't be allowed to find comedy in a crisis.

THAT kind of suspension? Check. :eyes:

15. Good timing.

Joseph Biden is going to close the door on the McCain-Palin campaign on Thursday night, anyhow.

16. How about 3 pie eating contests instead.

Well, maybe blueberry.
