Poor John McCain. The Left chastises him for all the votes he missed while running for President and then when he suspends his campaign activities and returns to Washington to address the financial crisis, he gets mocked by Harry Reid, David Letterman...and Ted Prezelski.
Tedski over at Rum Romanism and Rebellion has offered to suspend his blog during the crisis and challenged me to do the same thing.
I am suspending activities on this blog while I put my energies into resolving the current financial crisis. I call on Espresso Pundit to do the same.
Actually, I think I will do my part by working hard, blogging and paying my mortgage. You know, all the things that annoy liberals.
And while you are working hard and blogging, liberals are going to win an election. You know, the thing that really annoys neo-cons.

Well, we are just a bunch of tie-dying treehuggers who'd rather play hackey-sack than lock up the homeless.

All that and a whole lot more, Klute!
You won't catch me playing hackeysack OR reading liberal blogs!
Keep blogging, Greg!

Liberals like blogging. Its the working hard and individual responsibility (paying your mortgage) part.

If the liberals like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs didn't work hard, how do you think you would be blogging right now?
Greg, when one is running for office, is it really a good idea to make blanket statements about large segments of the voting population as being lazy, and not paying their mortgages?
I had heard Arizona was having some tough economic times, but I was unaware that 34% (approxiamte percentage of Arizona voters who are regeistered democrats) of the homes were in foreclosure.

Amazing how you can never actually support an argument in opposition to my posts, so you return to the typical brainless, neo-con, drivel that passes for intelectual acumen in the Repbulican party. In sum, don't enter into a battle of wits unarmed.
If you have some great study that shows liberals don't pay their mortgages, by all means bring it on.
Otherwise, go back to ordering shoes with velcro of e-bay, as you haven't mastered the fine art of tying a bow yet.

Uh huh, whine about generalizations, and then you drop the "neo-con" pearl. Do you know what a neo-con is? Or is that the word of the day you learned of DU or Daily Kos?
Real bright comment about eBay. How that was germane to any discussion is beyond me.
And nice job on the double post. Nothing makes stupidity look better than repeating it.
Paying mortgages isn't a partisan issue, but you decide to take the low road and make it a D vs. R issue. But while we're on the topic of political parties walking out on the tab...

Hey folks, have you spent so much time out in the sun that all your cholesterol went to vitamin D and now there is none left to stimulate your brain? There isn't a comment on here that speaks of anything but snarky, cranky, ticked off emotion.
I think that is what has happened to Biden for sure! The poor guy can't get anything straight. Saying Hillary was probably a better pick, the Obama on McCain ad was bad, the AIG bail-out was bad while Obama praises it, Roosevelt on the TV 3 years before he was president and many more than that before anyone had a TV, asking a wheelchair bound man to stand up, and now talking about a meeting in Iran with the Assistant SOS....that never happened.
Wow, all that experience is really showing!

That's funny, I am a month ahead in all my payments, including my mortgage - and I am a registered democrat... no way!
This mortgage and economic situation is happening no matter party lines.
Guess those republicans in foreclosure better go looking for their bootstraps lost in their closet!
In all honesty - it is very frustrating that it seems the big companies are getting bailouts while the little guy just watches his bills pile up. This is why the November election is a very important one. Locally and Nationally.

Well, my bank just failed. I'm glad my liberal forefathers had a better grasp of government's necessary role in business than the idiot (and I use that word charitably) currently in the White House.
Otherwise I'd be out all that money I earned by working.

OK - I admit it - I ws wrong about he McCain campaign, and how it would be received by the American voters. His strategy is really paying off - abaondon Michigan to shore up Nebraska, go back into Colorado to get its 9 electoral votes back, while letting Florida's 27 slip away. Really beating the tree huggers into submission.
