On Tuesday, McCain reprised the Republican refrain that he would not raise taxes, a tired old song from 20 years ago. He also decried how burdensome corporate regulation is.
He then suggested that a 9/11-type commission be formed to study the economic problems.
“Senator McCain offered up the oldest Washington stunt in the book: you pass the buck to a commission to study the problem,” Obama said in speech in Golden, Colo., on Sept. 16. “But here's the thing: This isn't 9/11. We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out. I'll provide it; John McCain won't.”
McCain proved once and for all that he’s no maverick. Rather, not only is he not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, he’s the dimmest bulb in any of his seven houses.
Oh, he can probably still get Ms. Palin to join him on the stump to draw a crowd that’s not embarrassingly small, but in the end she’s proven herself inconsequential as a serious candidate.
No one but the most foolish of the ideologues could now possibly vote for the Republican ticket.
Even those who verbally support McCain, simply because he’s the Republican nominee for president, are likely to go into the voting booths and cast their votes in favor of Obama because, as they see it, he’s smart enough to recognize an economic disaster when it’s staring him in the face.
