Is McCain going to throw Phil Gramm under the Bus?

the whole country should throw Gramm under the bus

just another Repub that could care less about the middle working class

I don't doubt it. Here's what we have so far...

Gramm: You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession... We may have a recession; we haven't had one yet... We have sort of become a nation of whiners... You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline...

McCain camp: Phil Gramm's comments are not representative of John McCain's views. John McCain travels the country every day talking to Americans who are hurting, feeling pain at the pump and worrying about how they'll pay their mortgage. That's why he has a realistic plan to deliver immediate relief at the gas pump, grow our economy and put Americans back to work.

Obama camp: One of Senator McCain's top economic advisors may think that when people are struggling with lost jobs, stagnant wages, and the rising costs of everything from gas to groceries, it's merely a 'mental recession'. And Senator McCain may think it's sufficient to offer energy proposals that he admits will have mainly 'psychological' benefits. But the American people know that our economic problems aren't just in their heads. They don't need psychological relief - they need real relief - and that's what Barack Obama will provide as President

DNC: What John McCain, George Bush, and Phil Gramm just don't understand is that the American people aren't whining about the state of the economy, they are suffering under the weight of it -- the weight of eight years of Bush-enomics that John McCain and Phil Gramm have vowed to continue. How dare John McCain and his advisers so callously dismiss the challenges the American people face. no wonder voters feel John McCain is out of touch, he and his campaign don't even understand the everyday issues Americans are dealing with.journalism.

I sure hopes he does because Gramm is responsible in large part for the housing meltdown, when in the Senate he opposed controls on predatory lending. Currently he is a consultant to a Bank that committed egregious abuses in the housing industry. I really don't care though, because McCain is a continuation of Bush. Eventually McCain if he is a little smart would throw him under the bus.

I hope so. His comment was absurd.

Even though the country is not yet in a recession, the 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth not having been met, the economic hardship of the working class is as real as any recession, and "Dr. Phil" was wrong to ridicule us for our complaints about it.

Wages and business incomes are failing to keep up with inflation, not even close in some parts of the country, and we will be in a recession, soon enough, if that keeps up for too long.

Definitely. It's already started. Carly Fiorino is is next. She wanted to know why insurance companies cover Viagra but not women's birth control pills. Oops.

Before that, I hope Gramm explains how he just happened to push pro Bank legislation through the Senate and THEN left to take a multimillion dollar position with a BANK.

Democrats 2008

McCain rules. I hope he throws mumia off the grand canyon shoots him and sets him on fire. WooHoo

No kid, throwing people under the bus is an Obama thing like he did his grandmother. You liberal children don't know anything do you.

McCain IS the new president.

its waste of money bus might get damaged

I doubt it. McCain isn't like Obama.

he ought to, definitely!
