I've been reading alot about John McCain asking to postpone the debates for a few days. Who would have thought that the left would turn this into another chance to attack McCain, not on his credentials or his record, but on stupid sound bites that they can twist to make him look bad. Openthread refers to it as cutting and running. Christine Pelosi says he's "avoiding our questions", and John Stoltz somehow compares this to our troops getting a breather from duty. And of course that intellectual heavyweight David Letterman added his two cents to this worthwhile debate, although, to be fair, Letterman did get on his knees for McCain, before he laced into s running mate.
Ah guys, last time I checked, John McCain and Barack Obama are both sitting US Senators, and both are leaders in the Senate as well. We are supposedly in the throes of the worst economic situation since the Great Depression, and apparently it's unreasonable for two of the most influential men in the US Senate to take a break from running for President and help come up with a plan. Will they be cutting and running if they come back to Washington just to vote on the bill?!?!
Now, I'm up in the air on whether or not the campaigns need to be suspended. But just go to Townhall and The Huff Post and see what the writers have to say about the candidates. All you will see is hate and vitriol from the left, and cautious skepticism on the right. Better yet, read the comments on any story, about this topic or any other, on either site. As usual, the comments betray the hate that comes from the left. It's simply amazing. Why does it have to be such a big deal?
Why can't it just be that McCain wants to take time to help craft a bill, and Obama thinks it's more important to continue making their respective cases to the American People? Oh wait, that is how the right sees it...It's only the hate filled left that excoriates McCain for wanting to take a reasonable break from the campaign to actually do some work for the good of the country.
