Karl Rove wrote the other day that R & R before a debate is a great idea, which it is.

"Mr. Obama has more recent debate experience, and he's wise to have spent three days in Florida resting. Mr. McCain, by contrast, has campaigned with little rest and rehearsal. This is dangerous. Mood and countenance matter as much as command of issues." - Rove in the WSJ Thursday

To quote one of the (almost UNIFORMLY negative) comments at the bottom of that blog post, "we all have different measures of what leadership is."
"people who are actually in Washington.." WHAT people? Or is this just something you "heard?"

I NEVER post "just something I heard," in fact I would never do something like that. You have me confused with a right winger.

I've posted links to other articles on this very topic for the last day and a half, plus it's findable everywhere inside The Google. But this is pretty thorough:

Great post Winter! Why aren't McCain supporters addressing those very clearly stated facts of how events have gone down? Instead you make a comment about Obama. Do you understand the significance of what Winter posted or do you not care about how your candidate mismanaged things?

You and winter must not understand that not a single Republican was going to support the bill before them...you dems need us because you can't pass legislation on your own...that must just kill you that you need us...hahahaha...anyway...McCain was called by the liberal Paulson and sen. Graham and asked to come back to DC to help. Barry got no call because no one cares what he thinks in DC. McCain is our presidential nominee and therefore he is the leader of the Republican party and he came back to help make sure that the voice of the Republican party was heard and a new bill could be drafted that the Republicans could support. Many dems didn't support Paulson's bill either as it called for taxpayers to give $700 billion away....Republicans will only support a loan among other things. Make fun all you want....Clinton praised McCain....y'all must remember Clinton....he was your first black president....what a fickle group the left is to turn away so quickly from their beloved Clinton.

That would be a no then. You clearly did not read (or comprehend) what Winter posted. I voted for Bush twice so leave the stupid Dem crap out of it when you respond to me. I would vote for a third party before I EVER voted for a Clinton.

Please remember this little tidbit and pass it along to your fellow Republicans when you or they complain that the "Democrat controlled Congress" didn't fix America's problems.

Not so fast...you can however keep bills from coming to the floor for an up or down vote....and you can still bury them or convene to promote a book that never made it on the top 1000 list.
The do nothing congress belongs to you lefties and America will gladly let you take them home for good!
