Politics McCain is a Chickenshit
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 4:36 PM
CNN is reporting that John McCain is now REFUSING to debate unless an economic bailout deal is reached by Friday.
A presidential campaign that has already seen its share of twists took another one today: Republican candidate John McCain said he was suspending his campaign to deal with the nation's economic crisis. McCain also said he would not attend Friday night's debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama unless an economic bailout deal is reached by then.
And even better? The McCain camp is proposing that the Vice Presidential debate should be postponed as well!
In this scenario, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin would be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, and take place in Oxford, Mississippi, currently slated to be the site of the first presidential faceoff this Friday.
What a fucking bunch of cowards.
BAWWWK! BUCK-BUCK-BUCK! BUCK-KAWWWWW!

Oh gee John McCain, thanks for helping "deal with the economic crisis". Too bad that during your 4 terms in the Senate you didn't do a single thing to prevent it! Asshat.
You would have totally been rolled over in a debate anyway.

Suspend the VP debates because Sarah Palin is so busy trying to fix the economy in her role as Governor of Alaska? What?

What was it that John Stewart said to Mike Huckabee a week or two ago?
Something like, so you're saying that John McCain is the only candidate that can fix the mess that his party and he created?
Mike Huckabee grinned and said "yes".
