McCain's ploy raises questions
September 26, 2008

As political decisions go, Sen. John McCain's abrupt call to halt his presidential campaign so he can focus exclusively on the nation's financial crisis looks impulsive and ill-advised.


But then, it also looks like John McCain, who is giving voters a glimpse into the way he would do things -- quickly, dramatically, and either boldly or recklessly, probably depending in this case on your politics.

For all the virtue of his straight talk, decisiveness and firm, stalwart demeanor, there has always been a flip side to McCain of haste to get something done. Back in 1994, there was a quick call for bombing North Korea if severe sanctions did not discourage that country's nuclear weapons program. Then the out-loud speculation that the post-9/11 anthrax attacks came from Iraq. And most recently, there was his politically stunning choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate after two meetings six months apart and a telephone conversation.

Once his mind is made up, he will not be deterred.

The decision to stop campaigning -- perhaps intended to shame Democratic hopeful Barack Obama into doing the same -- was as brash and ill thought-out as any of McCain's impulsive moves. It looked insincere coming from a guy who has missed hundreds of votes in the Senate this year so he could keep campaigning. The acknowledgement of an "all hands on deck" crisis seemed even stranger coming from a candidate who just 10 days ago was sounding off about the "fundamentals" of the economy being sound.

2. McCain is an unsteady hand at the wheel

he's totally wobbly.

Erratic, confused and irascible.
and he's going to cost us all a lot of money today.

3. This whole thing is about keeping an inept Palin from the VP debate

nothing more, nothing less.

4. Vote has been rigged already McCain knows it does not matter

What he does Rove has set it up that McCain and Palin will win by a small number, "Oh what a shame" the Dems lost again.
Over the last 20 years he has managed to take control of the election process by controlling the vote ing machines.
They have been rigged to drop every 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th, Democratic vote from the system and they are called glitches!!
They were programmed in by the companies. As the memo from the CEO of Diebold during the 2004 elections to Cheney said "We guarantee you this election" In the 2006 elections they admitted to a number of glitches still. Yes that's right some democrats got so many votes that the vote dropping scheme did not work and the Dems took control of the house and senate. So they have adjusted the software to not only not count Dems or Ind votes but to switch the votes to the Republican side.
These people control 80% of the electronic voting machines in the USA. They were given several billion dollars to devise a system to vote electronically and "Reform" the system by the Bush admin. The aim was to have a permanent Republican majority in the USA.
Did you notice how quickly Texas became republican after they introduced the electronic voting!
