Consensus Builds To Use European Methods to Save
American Banks

Bank recapitalization is necessary. It's not the only thing that needs to be done, but it's one of the things that needs to be done. However it can be done smart and honest, or it can be done corrupt or stupid. Let's hope that knowing the eyes of the[...]

GOP Rep. LaHood to Palin: "Cut it Out"

post from Daily Kos on 10 October 2008 05:15:02 PM. © Daily Kos

The proliferation of angry, unbalanced mobs at Republican rallies over the past few days has not gone unnoticed, even by Republicans. Illinois Republican Rep. Ray LaHood is the latest to call out the ticket for permitting this kind of behavior.

LaHood supports the McCain ticket, but doesn't like what he sees at some of the McCain-Palin rallies: When Barack Obama's name has been mentioned by Sarah Palin, there are shouts of "terrorist," and LaHood says Palin should put a stop to it.

"Look it," LaHood said. "This doesn't befit the office that she's running for. And frankly, people don't like it."

LaHood says it could backfire on the Republican ticket.

He says the names that Obama is being called, "Certainly don't reflect the character of the man."

LaHood, generally perceived to be a fairly moderate Republican, is retiring this year, and he also hails from Obama's state. He certainly deserves praise for having the courage to call out the McCain-Palin ticket for enabling the politics of hate to dominate their campaign events.

Why Is Obama Rising This Week

The other day I posited that Barack would see an uptick in the polls as a result of his debate performance this week and certainly we're seeing some (albeit minimal) evidence that that may be the case in the tracking poll averages. On Wednesday, Obama's[...]

Letterman Continues His Assault on McCain: "I
just don't know if we can trust him"

Letterman Rips McCain icon Download | Play icon Download | Play

Letterman is still pretty bitter about McCain's snub and he sure didn't hide it last night -- especially since McCain is now trying to make amends. Here's a little mash up for your viewing pleasure. His debate spoofs are classic.

Transcript via LAT:

"So now, in an attempt to save his campaign, they?re talking about coming back. You see what I?m saying? So we said, 'Sure, we would love you to come back.' And even on the phone, he said, 'I?ll bring?Sarah.' But they?re being squirrely. Politicians can be squirrely. Because we have a date picked. We do this show every afternoon at 5:30. He wants to do the show at 5. So one ?- we have no guarantee he?s going to show up, period. And we?ve kind of already rearranged our schedule on his behalf to save the economy, right? By getting that big-headed kid in here to talk about the politics. You know what I?m driving at? I just don?t know if we can trust him. And by the way, I don?t need to remind you that the road to the White House runs right through here."
