Wow. What Nicole Belle says.
Dude, you’re losing ABC…that’s like FOX-lite. That’s not going to keep the base motivated.
When even McCain’s Media points out that the Straight Talk Express has derailed, you know you have some problems.(Nicole Belle, C&L)
h/t to C& L for the vid and the transcript:
Here's my favorite part:
WRIGHT: Senator McCain appears to have changed his tune on regulation in a fundamental way. Today on the stump, he’s a champion of reigning in Wall Street with tough regulations.
MCCAIN: We’re going to put an end to the reckless conduct, corruption and greed that have caused a crisis on Wall Street.
WRIGHT: But for more than 25 years in the Senate, McCain has fashioned himself as a champion of smaller government, less regulation.
MCCAIN: I am less government, less regulation, lower taxes, et cetera.
WRIGHT: In the mid 1990s, he supported a measure to ban all new government regulations. McCain supported legislation a decade ago that broke down the firewalls between commercial and investment banks and insurance companies — the very rules companies like AIG exploited to get in the current mess. And as recently as March of this year, after the collapse of Bear Stearns, McCain was all for deregulating Wall Street.
MCCAIN: Our financial market approach should include encouraging increased capital in financial institutions by removing regulatory, accounting and tax impediments to raising capital.
GEORGE WILL: When the deregulation was the wave through Washington, he surfed that wave. Now it’s not, and the populist inside John McCain is out....It’s a conversion of convenience, some will say.(C&L)
The fact is, McCain doesn't know why the hell he says what he says because he's never thought about it. As he said---and he was telling the truth---he doesn't know much about the economy.
Exhibit A.
