McCain has long rap sheet as a serial suspender

[maddezmom]

Suspending things can be habit-forming — and it’s generally not a good habit in a leader of the Free World.

“Maybe if there’s other things down the road, he might suspend being president,” David Letterman riffed, after Sen. John McCain suspended his presidential campaign on Wednesday due to the country’s financial crisis — and in so doing canceled a scheduled appearance on Letterman’s “The Late Show” on CBS.

His 2008 presidential campaign, as GOP nominee:


“Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington” (Sept. 24, 2008)


Day One of the 2008 Republican National Convention:


“We’re going to suspend most of our activities tomorrow …” (Aug. 31, 2008)


The federal gas tax:


“I propose that the federal government suspend all taxes on gasoline now paid by the American people — from Memorial Day to Labor Day of this year.” (April 15, 2008)


U.S. Strategic Oil Reserve purchases:


“Over the same period, our government should suspend the purchase of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has also contributed to the rising price of oil.” (April 15, 2008)


Non-military federal discretionary spending:


“As president, I will also order a prompt and thorough review of the budgets of every federal program, department, and agency. While that top to bottom review is underway, we will institute a one-year pause in discretionary spending increases with the necessary exemption of military spending and veterans benefits.” (April 15, 2008)

His 2000 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination:


“I am suspending my campaign so that Cindy and I can take some time to reflect on our recent experiences, and determine how we can best continue to serve the country, and bring about the changes to the practices and institutions of our great democracy that are the purpose of our campaign.” (March 9, 2000)
