What's the point of voting McCain?

Even before the election has happened, John McCain has allowed his staff to fold their tents in many states. In Michigan, they've pulled up the stakes, at least, and are no longer campaigning there, barely a month before the US presidential election. Surrender in some states is "inevitable" says his political director, Mike DuHaime. Have you ever heard of such a thing before?

What's the point of further debates with Obama? "I heard you threw in the towel, John!". How will McCain respond to such a comment?

Not only that, but John McCain has come out with some muddled thinking over this bail-out plan. He votes for it in the Senate, but says he wants to rein in Wall Street. He voted to give tax breaks for the top 1-2% wealthiest people running around after these toxic loans. That probably included Henry Paulson when he was chief bottlewasher at Goldman Sachs.

The Republican Party has got itself into a sorry state. If only they had believed in Free Enterprise and not Corporate Greed. With free enterprise everyone should be in a win-win situation. With corporate greed only one side wins.

I reckon that every American is in this to the tune of $10,000 each. That includes penniless beggars. They of course won't or can't pay. You can bet your bottom dollar the fatcats won't being paying either. It's just like Kevin's dad in the Wonder Years used to tell his kids, "It's the average guy that ends up paying the bills!".
