Ten Things the 'Straight Talker' Can’t Tell You

lewrockwell.com — Hello, this is John McCain. I have some straight talk to tell you, my friends.

  • cashman57, on 10/14/2008, -1/+8I like #3&4
    "Ron Paul is right. He has been the true maverick in this race, not me – and he is a principled one, to boot. In my old age, I have realized my many failings, and I cheerfully admit them to you today. I have called Dr. Paul to apologize, profoundly and personally, for smirking at him, making fun of him, and otherwise ignoring him during the primaries. I should have been his strongest ally. I apologize to all of you for not supporting him. I have assured him that I will welcome his counsel in my administration. And I promise that I will follow it."

    "If I had not so stubbornly rejected Ron Paul’s counsel in the past, I would never have supported the bailout, giving cover the Bush-Cheney-Paulson-Pelosi-Frank-Dodd-Obama Gang. I now renounce all bailout deals past and future and demand that the government stop the takeover of our economy and let the private sector sort itself out without government interference. It will be a rough ride but believe me, I have been through worse, and I have survived."

    But I like # 10 the best
    "My friends, an Obama presidency will be Bush-Cheney’s third term. Haven’t you had enough already?
    Let me say a word about President Bush. I bear him no malice. However, I will deny his demands for a battalion of 110 Secret Service agents and their hundreds of support staff and millions of dollars worth of equipment after he leaves office. In our constitutional system, the ex-president is a private citizen. I admire Jimmy Carter, and I will authorize for Mr. Bush the same size of security detail that President Carter now enjoys. Of course, if Mr. Bush wants more armed goons around, he has plenty of money to pay for them himself."
