McCain Economic Plan Rally Featured Warning Against "Erratic" Politicians

John McCain's speech in which he revealed his new economic plan featured an interesting caveat, given that it came from a man who seemingly picked an inexperienced running mate for political reasons, "suspended" his campaign for a few days and seems to be unable to control his emotions at any of the debates.

TPM has text of the speech:

Investors are always responsible for their investment decisions, but the hard earned savings of Americans should not be penalized by the erratic behavior of politicians.

John , Maybe you should try suspending your campaign again, like maybe another 20 days. Everything you say just gets you in deeper.

[majorteddy]

Wow, the old codger is really getting cobwebs up there where the wheels are supposed to be turning.

Listening to one of his campaign speechs has become increasingly like trying to follow a telephone conversation with my mother in the final years of her life. She had a diagnosis of dementia and schizophrenia. I think this entire campaign team must have it as well.

I think these two are messing with our minds...yesterday Palin said "And the abuses of power. As president, he’s going to end those once and for all." She ABUSED her power. These two kids......­hahaha....­..

I think he is morphing into Howdy Doody.

My friends, just hand over your money to the racket boys, keep your mouth shut and shop.

The McCain people have been emphatic that when Obama uses the word "erratic", it's a coded attack on McCain's age. So, apparently McCain just called Obama an old man.

[olderdem]

With that, I believe McCain is now endorsing Obama.

[Bitsko]

Don't be surprised if he does endorse Senator 0bama as another shock tactic.

[alguien]

yeah, because he's got obama right where he wants him.

[SimJack]

Are you sure he's been quoted correctly? Maybe he said "erotic". Would that then be an example of him being erratic?

[Dave01]

I heard it myself - he said "erratic". I thought it was hilarious because HE is the ONLY politician that has been "acting" erratic.

[jaslyn]

So, that means you??

Hello to all commentators,

All the commercials, pundits, gaffes, personal attacks, and the MSM will not dictate the outcome of this election. THE GROUND GAME IS WHERE ELECTIONS ARE WON, AND LOST!

Before you go to the next left leaning article to comment on, or right leaning article to start an argument with a republican (which will no doubt end with them calling you an unpatriotic socialist wimp) May I suggest that you get in the game.

Thanks Craig

McCain's campaign looks like a bad espisode from the Twilight Zone. McCain has run one of the most erratic campaigns in the history of this country. McCain has mastered the art of "putting ones foot in mouth", everytime he makes an appearance he provides material for comedians and late night talk shows. It is really sad, but McCain has become a walking joke!
