Senator McCain, my friend, you are doing a major disservice to the people of America by not opening up and admitting that the current economic ‘perfect storm; is the result of years of policy changes that have led to people gaming the financial system across the board. Blaming this on a few bad apples the way Bush did when Enron’s and other corporate accounting abuses came to light instead of publicly acknowledging that this problem is systemic seems anathema to the idea of you as a Maverick and a Straight Talker.

McCain makes a few factual flubs in his acceptance speech. From here you can check out the fact checking on both candidate’s acceptance speeches.

Who is Sarah Palin? Here’s some basic background.

She was elected Alaska’s governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience. Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest ….

That pretty much sums up the McCain campaign so far. They don’t have anything useful to say about their candidate so they spend all their time and money talking about Barack Obama right down to buyingGoogle ads to try to interject themselves into conversations on blogs.

You may have heard of the organization, Billionaires for Bush, and seen some of their oh so stylish rallies and events, but in this case, the anti-Obama ad is funded by a real Billionaire for Bush – Dallas billionaire Harrold Simmons, who made his first fortune in chain pharmacies and is now listed as the 73rd richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $2.1 billion.
