John McCain Rally Tampa 9-16-08

Republican presidential candidate John McCain says Wall Street's financial turmoil is the result of unchecked corporate greed.

The Republican says government must protect the public from investment schemes too complex for people to understand or regulate.

McCain told a crowd of several thousand at a rally Tuesday in Tampa, Florida, that people have the right to know when their jobs and pensions and the entire economy are, in his words, "being put at risk by recklessness on Wall Street."

McCain has a reputation as a free-marketeer, but he says that Washington regulatory agencies need to be overhauled.

Instead of a dozen federal agencies behaving badly, he says the nation needs the best ones doing the right job.

I respect your opinion but I am not one of those people. Let me ask you, isn't the point of campaigning to get people on your side? Is it somehow wrong that disenfranchised women voters are rallying behind someone they feel speaks to their interests? Isn't that what Obama did when he picked Biden - reaching a new audience? All aside, it seems we agree on one thing - a candidate's race, gender or religion should not be the primary determining factor for a vote.

My concern, really, is that John McCain night actually "highjack" the election on the basis of his running mate's popularity, as opposed to his own record and experience. Right now, nobody is talking about McCain, really, it's all Palin. It's McCain that might be running the White House, for sure it won't be Palin, so we'd better start re-focusing on what really matters. My hopes are the debates serve that purpose, but I the "pop" culture machine taking us away from those discussions. Sad.

You are right, I was not there, you were.

If somehow you thought my remark was uninformed, you are also correct. I am much like the uninformed throngs who are ONLY NOW attending McCain functions due to the addition of a woman that they are very uninformed about. It's everywhere my friend.

Get your facts straight. She was not there and it was never said she would be. I was there, and apparently you were not - otherwise you would realize that your comment is typical liberal rhetoric, uninformed and unimportant.

Look at all the people, there to look at Sarah Palin and hear her give notable one-liners.
