Tonight is McCain's night to bring the Right to this fight on his behalf. Palin has done that already and continues to do that. Tonight, it's McCain. Can he do it? It's not hard to win polls when pollsters give you a double-digit lead in the sample of your supporters over your opponent. I've been beating up on McCain, and rightly so. He deserved it. I heard some of what he said today. He's putting on his war paint. Cool. On decK? Mr. Fragility, The One himself. I'm aiming squarely at his prominent glass jaw. ETC: Tamara and I watched the full debate. I don't like McCain personally, but he's far more substantive than Obama. Obama's a much better speaker, but half of his answers are so full of crap that it's obvious he's making it up. For example, his bit about how the current crisis and its remedies will impact the young guy who asked the question. Obama said, "If employers can't get loans to make payroll, then you won't have paychecks." I've never known any employer who takes out a loan to make payroll. What he might have meant, but missed it by a mile, is that employers - small business owners and larger - work on vendor credit usually for inventory. If the vendor dries that up, then the goods don't get made or sold. It's revenue (receivables) that pay for payroll. He doesn't understand business. Or economics. He doesn't know what he would cut. He has no plans to cut anything, and this after his answer to the woman where he told her that if your family doesn't have the money, then you don't spend it. Then he talked about solutions that would be - spending. I really hope the American people are smart enough to see through this sham. |
