“There are many ways to lose a presidential election. John McCain is losing in a way that threatens to take the entire Republican Party down with him… I could pile up the poll numbers here, but frankly… it’s too depressing. You have to go back to the Watergate era to see numbers quite so horrible for the GOP.” — Former Bush speechwriter David Frum 10.25.08
So the bottom line is, do we want the proven watchdog champion of the people’s interest, Mike Aguirre? Or do we want “Does it matter” — plain vanilla former judge Goldsmith to answer the call of a few IOUs? It matters. A lot. — Ron Carrico in the San Diego Daily Transcript 10.27.08
“Senator McCain has demonstrated clearly that he is a dedicated ideologue in the foreign/security policy area, unwilling to consider opinions or even credible evidence contrary to his preconceived notions. In addition, his temperament, marked not only by impatience but also by rude and sometimes hostile behavior, would discourage advisers from bringing to his attention views that might not be consistent with his preconceptions. A president with this combination of significant shortcomings would be a dangerous commander-in-chief, posing an unacceptable risk to the security of the nation.” — Lt. General (U.S. Army, Ret.) Robert G. Gard, Jr., PhD 10.26.08
“Lately, he’s called me a socialist for wanting to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans so we can finally give tax relief to the middle class. I don’t know what’s next. By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich,” — Sen. Barack Obama on McCain’s attacks 10.29.08
