Why is McCain Playing Defense on This Market?

McCain had golden opportunities and blew it big time:

1) Keeping Phil Graham around whom stated that "Americans are whiners". If you don't realize that the press is going to snip soundbites, you should not be running a presidential election.
2) McCain sounded just like President Bush when he stated the 'fundamentals of the economy are sound" in September.
3) The Republicans refused to invest heavily into media and should have learned from the Clinton years.

Here is how I sum up each candidate:

Obama = ex coke user, fanatical, attempts to care for people but has never taken care of his own personal issues. Kind of like the a person that becomes a policeman or social worker to try and do right and make a better world, but becomes abusive in power. Corrupt Chicago politics tied into fringe beliefs of how things 'should be' versus how they really are. Economic understanding is very poor.

McCain = American war hero unwilling to leave his company behind in the face of torture. Unfortunately, that applies to other people in his life he views as his private platoon such as Phil Graham. Get a grip McCain, some should be disonorably discharged and some a court martial. Economic understanding is very poor.

No, I will not choose between the virtuous vs. the corrupt. I will vote Ron Paul. And we'll see what Obama's mettle is made of. Every time a Democrat is elected in a fiscal crisis the enemies of America further the communist agenda, although Obama is not too far off from that form of politics in the first place.
