There shouldn't be any further question that there still and again two democrats on the campaign trail. John McCain is finding new things every day to hammer fellow republicans over. He has consistently voiced his disapproval of current administration policies.
I'm as anti-Bush as anybody this side of the Daily Kos, but fortunately for us, Bush is different from McCain when it comes to Campaign Finance, Immigration, and pesky matters like Stem Cells. McCain is closer to Obama on most of the issues that really count.
The latest Republican to be cut off at the knees is Phil Gramm.
Phil Gramm is one of the best economic thinkers of our time. And McCain has publicly admitted he doesn't understand the economy. So, McCain needs guys like Gramm. and needs them desperately and thoroughly. Still, he tosses the good ones aside. Phil Gramm is as republican as they come, and McCain (maverick that he is) can't wait to attack republicans, especially those that are on the correct side of any issue.
I voted for Phil Gramm (even though he's a republican, and even though votes don't count much in a May primary). I still think he would make a great president. I'd vote for him today over anybody else out there running.
So, I think it is a disservice to all of us that McCain pushes away yet another person who would have saved his candidacy. Instead of Bush III (which would be about the best we could expect this time around) , we are going to get Carter II, and we'll all be glad when that's over.
Maybe Phil Gramm could be elected president of Belarus, and show us how an economy is supposed to work.
