Phil Gramm is an embarrassment to Texas. For an individual with a degree in economics, he has the grasp of a 12 year old. Which makes it clear why he's still held in esteem by the Bushies.

Bush and McCain seem to be joined at the hip these days.
Interesting that all those "McCain is better than Obama" Clinton supporters have no thoughts on this.
Also interesting that the "Obama be a terrorist mooslim!" chain email copy and pasters have no thoughts on this.
Interesting indeed.
But not a surprise, basically they got nothing. The endless barrage of Anti-American, Unpatriotic, Un-Christian threads only expose the fact that on hard substance, John McCain falls really flat.

Funny thread considering Obama got his indicted pal Rezko to help him buy his own home while at the same time Obama was busy paying him back with $15 mil in taxpayer money. Politics as usual from the candidate of real change.

We've been through this before. Your claim that he paid him with millions of taxpayer money is confirmed by no one but yourself and perhaps some right wing blogs, who source each other. It's bogus, and it has nothing to do with this topic.
What this is about is how John McCain, while running as this anti-lobbyist/anti-special interest candidate, has Phil Gramm, a lobbyist for UBS, crafting his policy on the mortgage crisis, while still employed as a lobbyist for the company who stands most to benefit from McCain's policy, at the expense of the average US citizen.
Not only is it hypocracy, it's bad policy and bad politics. Which is why the only "defense" anyone has mustered is an erroneous misdirection onto a minor scandal that has no effect on how Barack Obama actually governs.
But this does. This is John McCain, because this has increasingly been what the Republican party is the past 15 years. This is why George Bush has historic low approval ratings, while our economy sputters after a hollow recovery. Because contrary to McCain's anti-lobbyist campaign speeches, Republican policies are all too often written directly by lobbyists, benefitting their particular company over the country at large.
This is George W. Bush economics, continued by John McCain and his simpleminded economics mentor Phil Gramm. This is the guy that created the environment for Enron. Who paved the way for the rampant mortgage fraud which exacerbated this housing/lending crisis.
And this is why the only response is "...uh...umm....Rezko...flag pins!...Rachel Ray is a terrorist!"
How can MCCain help American when he does not know anything about econmic. He is relying on someone who destroyed the housing market and America econmic to lead the country in the right way. So he is relying on the same person who destryed the housing industry to fix the same industry that he destroyed.
McCain try to separate himself from Bush. He speaks so bad about the bush administration. Yet he needs bush to raise money for him.
If you McCain is trying so hard to separate yourself from Bush why are you hanging out with the man that you feel is nothin glike you
