Fwd: O STUMPS AS JOHN TRUMPS





Brother Garth, if there is one game this fall where we should be talking a lot of politics to absorb some time it would be this 'bye week' game Saturday.  I will cheer to honor Mac, and then I hope our 2nd and 3rd stringers stomp on them 60-3.  Actually, Mac has a pretty good team this year, so let's say 49-15, with our starters resting at least 1/2 of the game.

P.S.  I am not anti-WSU.  Just too-Pro U of U.  Go Utes!

Garth:
We better not discuss politics at the game so we don't annoy the morons
behind us.

I listened to this unfold yesterday while busting my butt to do my part
to save the economy by - guess what - working!!  It's obvious what the
lazy-butt, self-serving, hand-out grabbing, everybody else is to blame,
save the whales but kill the corporations, morons at the Tribune - and
virtually every other media source - think employment is for; sitting
around doing whatever you want while everything goes to hell around you.


Senators are elected to represent their constituents and take an oath to
"well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office".  It's about
time that McCain got back to work and Obama should be censured or
expelled for his lack of attendance.  What kind of president will he be
if he has spent the majority of his "employment" working another job.

Man, I'm pissed at self-serving elitism!

Thanks,

Here is Dick Morris' take on McCain going to Washington to fix the
economy.  Contrast his opinion with that of the SL Tribune (attached) on
today's editorial page.

Facing a postconvention fall in the polls, John McCain once again
reshaped the dimensions of the race by suspending his campaign and
calling for postponement of tomorrow's debate.

This bold move could have an impact on the race akin to McCain's choice
of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Defensively, McCain had to act to
stop the fall in his poll numbers.

Offensively, he has placed himself at the epicenter of the only issue on
the national agenda - proactive action to stop a total international
financial collapse.

Obama's response to McCain's initiative is lame. As with his initial
reaction to Sarah Palin, Obama has miscalculated. While he tries to spin
McCain's move as a mere response to his initiative, it was the
Republican who first issued the call for a suspension of the campaigns.

McCain and Obama will now go to Washington. McCain on his own
initiative. Obama as a result of the president's call for an economic
summit.

But it is McCain who will play the proactive role. Obama will come to
Washington, but will keep one foot outside the Beltway.

Even though the president has called both candidates to Washington to
save the country, Obama continues to campaign. Politics as usual.

He doesn't want to cancel the debate. He would debate while the markets
burn.

McCain is going to work while Obama is phoning it in.


Oddly, McCain and Obama agree on the bailout package. But it is only
McCain who can pass the bill. Only McCain can deliver the administration
and the Republicans.

McCain will be at the center of the process, managing it through to
success while Obama lingers on the outskirts, irrelevant and uninvolved.

McCain will pass Barack Obama's bill (which parallels his own
proposals), and will get the credit for it.

There are compelling reasons why McCain may be saving his campaign by
this bold move.

McCain's entry into the legislative foray personalizes the economy
issue.

As long as McCain stayed away from Washington, it was the Democrats
against the Republicans. Polls give the Democrats the edge. But voters
trust McCain personally more than they trust Obama to manage his way out
of a crisis.

By showing up in Washington, McCain makes the issue personal, not
partisan.

And the rescue legislation will pass. Washington has no alternative but
to act. And it probably will work. The markets will calm down. The
bailout legislation will have done it.

Including the Democratic amendments, it will become a fairly popular
piece of legislation and it will have been McCain's bill. Obama can
claim authorship, but it will have been McCain who will have brought the
Administration into line.

Once the bill is passed, McCain will have the credentials to go on the
offensive and warn of the impact of Obama's tax increases on the
recovery.

Had McCain not acted, Republican opposition to big government might have
doomed the economy and destroyed Republican hopes.

By going to Washington, McCain makes it imperative that the Republicans
pass the legislation. His presence makes it an issue of party survival
in a way that lame duck Bush could never do.

As Woody Allen said "half of life is just showing up."

The "Don't Tread on Me" Flag: The First Navy Jack is enjoying renewed popularity these days thanks to an order from the Secretary of the Navy that directs all U.S. Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack for the duration of the War on Terrorism.
