THE BIG LIE: McCain to re-regulate the Repubs?????????

[Waiting For Everyman]

Oh come on now.

McCain's going to suddenly make the Repub party stand for regulation? Now I've heard everything!

If Obama doesn't jump on this with 50 surrogates, and call this the Biggest Lie Ever Told, and right now, immediately and clearly... if McC gets away with this and makes himself the restorer of regulation now... I'm going to be too angry to watch the news or follow this campaign anymore. If he doen't tear that out of McC's hands right now and INDIGNANTLY, he deserves to lose.

This is where lying intersects the financial meltdown. Gramm=deregulation=McCain. Connect the dots for Americans and slam it home from now till the election. Clearly. Bluntly. Loudly. And shame the hell out of McCain for DARING to say that he will reform his own economic advisor's and his own party's deregulation of Dem FDR'S historic safeguards. My God, I've heard nothing but Gramm and the whole Repub party rail against FDR's regulations since 1980! And they intentionally gutted everything achieved by the New Deal as the overall goal of Repub policy all this time.

If this isn't swiftly and effectively dealt with and it sinks in to the idiot Freeper consciousness, next thing we'll be hearing the RW telling us how the Dems repealed banking regulation.

Stop the madness!

McCain just said this in a speech, covered by tv, and so did Palin. I just got home, switched on the tube, and that's what I saw. Why do I not see Obama and every surrogate available NUKING this jackass for it? The race could be over today!

Gramm is the author of this mess. He should've been a campaign issue all along. Now's the time to drag him out of the shadows and make him the Willie Horton of this campaign. Now! Not tomorrow. not later. Not when we get around to it. NOW.

Even Lou Dobbs is saying "this is borderline madness". WHERE IS OBAMA????

1. Dang, only a month ago

he said there was way too much regulation. Now I'm confused.

[eleny]

2. He wouldn't dare do it

His speeches and his supporters know it's all crap. His campaign stops are all theater, imo.

[BuyingThyme]

3. Yes, reform is reelecting the party which has been in power for so long.

[BlueIdaho]

4. But - he's a party "Maverick"

Why should they care what he thinks - he's not a true believer.

[PA Democrat]

5. He should start with the lobbyists working in his campaign who

have been big pushers of deregulation.

[TheKentuckian]

6. Yeah, McShame needs to be hit on this

It's easily apparent bullshit but as always we'll have to do the job.

This one is easy and let's us dust "Dr. Phil" off again.

8. He better tell his gal pal Sarah what the plan is...

Because she is going around telling people they are going to "get government out of the way and let the people do the work"... in other words, deregulation!
