More B.S. from the McCain campaign

Now John McCain wants to suspend "campaigning" in order to return to Washington and address the nation's financial mess. (More from FirstRead.)

Where to even begin...

How about this: do you, for even a minute, believe that McCain's motivation in talking about suspending his political campaign is anything but... political in nature??? Whatever principles this man might once have had, he's discarded them along the way in his pursuit of the White House. Everything he once stood for has been trampled by his ambition and his willingness to say anything to get elected.

And this: he wants 1) to oversee the nation's economy, 2) be the leader of the free world, 3) serve as commander-in-chief of the largest military the world has ever seen, 4) occupy the bully pulpit, and, while he's at it, 5) knock a few heads against each other in DC, but he can't run his campaign and work towards a bipartisan solution to our fiancial woes at the same time? He can't multi-task? Doesn't he recognize that we now live in a continuous campaign... whoever is leading America has to be able to lead the country and work for what's best for our future at the same time as campaigning for re-election or his party's prospects? The president doesn't get the luxury of being able to separate the two!

What is John McCain scared of? Why won't he just proceed with the long-planned debate on Friday? Is he worried that the economy will come up, even though the focus of the debate is supposed to be foreign policy?

What is John McCain scared of? Why doesn't he let the press interview and ask unfiltered questions of Sarah Palin?

Unbelievable.
