Sorry for starting a new political OT thread, but this one has had me
rolling on the floor all morning and I had to let it out.

The press is remarking today about the four-hour transition of John

McCain
from an anti-regulation hawk to his new position calling for tight

federal
regulation of the finance industry and an end to its "greed." ("We're

going
to put an end to the abuses on Wall Street! Enough is enough! We're

going to
put an end to the greed!") That was the setup.


Due to very untimely financial and economic meltdown, McCain campaign
now is in full panic mode. The novelty of Sarah Palin is wearing off
and people are now concentrating on the bad economic news. It cannot
be good for his faltering campaign.

McCain is desperate to find his own theme, throwing away his long held
"principles", when these "principles" do not advance his campaign.

Say hello to the launch of the new McCain campaign strategy. It's going to
be known as the "Say Anything" campaign. From here on out McCain will say
anything that might benefit the campaign. Truth has gone out the window.
From now on McCain will claim everything under the sun in his attempt to get
elected. It's good bye to the decent, honorable, war-hero character they
concocted and hello to the huckster who promises everything to everybody.
Hey, when you're losing you have to be willing to do anything to win. Unless
you actually have principles and character.
