A Native Texan recalls Phil Gramm- Evil Manipulator and Exploiter of Americans
Editor's Comment- As a native Texan who stood on a figurative chair looking down on this rattler as it slithered in from Georgia, I was never surprised when he turned into a multi-headed hydra that bit the very hands that fed him. I wrote him when he was our Senator and told him about need my Republican Mom had who was a long time supporter of his.
She was at the time an invalid. He never replied. He took her money, her time and when it came time to return the favor he was (as he was when he was of age for Vietnam) AWOL. He has taken from this country and he has skipped out on making his payments.
He accepted Democratic money when he ran for Congress and then he turned around and shared information he had from insider observations to help Ronald Regan.This is how he become a popular Republican and he later took the place of John Tower as our Senator. (Note-I met Tower as a small child. Unlike Gramm, Tower was actually a nice man who later had a drinking and womanizing problem. I cried with loss when he died in a plane crash with the grown up daughter he told me he would have loved to have introduced me to.-editor)
Gramm even had a huge pile of hot checks when the US Congress had an in house banking scandal a few years back. Interesting banking behavior for a man who taught Economics at my father's beloved A&M (WHOOP!) and who has been the "backbone" of McCain's Economic plans. Be afraid Will Robinson.....be very afraid if this is his idea of a "figurative" economic period of turmoil. He is a virtual idiot and a real jerk too.
Don't listen to me......consider his own words that have come back to bite him more than once.....
"Has anyone ever noticed that we live in the only country in the world where all the poor people are fat?" — During his first Senate Campaign against Democrat Lloyd Doggett.
"We're going to keep on building the party (the Texas Republican Party) until we're hunting Democrats with dogs." As quoted in Mother Jones, August 1995
"If you are willing to tackle the tough issues, you don’t need to worry about stepping on anyone’s toes; they will stand aside and shove you to the front.” — As quoted by former Gramm staffer Wayne A. Abernathy September 12, 2002, before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
"We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness."
PSSST......John McCain, pay heed here. Gramm is like the old joke....He's like prunes. With friends like him who needs enemas.
On July 9, 2008, Gramm participated in an interview with The Washington Times, explaining John McCain's plans in reforming the U.S. economy. During the interview, he downplayed the idea that the nation was in a recession, stating, "You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," and "We have sort of become a nation of whiners, you just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline." (PSST Phil.....the saying is a Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.Depression is when you lose YOUR job)
The following day, McCain strongly denounced Gramm's comments and subsequently stated that Gramm was not in consideration for any high level positions, joking "I think Senator Gramm would be in serious consideration for ambassador to Belarus, although I'm not sure the citizens of Minsk would welcome that."
Gramm later attempted to clarify his comment, explaining that he had used the word "whiners" to describe the nation's politicians rather than the public, stating "the whiners are the leaders." But in another interview, Gramm stated, "I'm not going to retract any of it. Every word I said was true." (BULLSHIT-Editor's Comment)
Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned but it is only lukewarm compared to a Texan who has a memory better than any elephant and the ability to wait to strike when the iron is hot.

Show me the MONEY John.
John McCain has a secret. According to Open Secrets a watch dog money web page, it's a public information matter. He has little in the way of PAC funds but he has an amazing last minute 11% of his money that is not accounted for.
It's not mentioned as "self-financing" ala wife Cindy's Budweiser Franchise money. It's just not itemized. HUH? The dude who says he is "Senator Maverick......Senator Straight Talk......Senator Charles Keeting FIVE? Mr. McCain-Feingold with UNDISCLOSED MONEY? Who could this UNDISCLOSED source be?
Better yet.....why does he have a $110,000 plus contribution from UBS on his disclosed list? Are you saying that former Senator Phil Gramm who just HAPPENS to be co-chair of the 08 McCain Campaign, passed the hat? Now THAT'S a Kodak moment.

Holy undisclosed lobbist influence! Riddle me this.... Why are so many banks listed? Can you say privitization of Social Security Insurance funds now safely held in US Secured Bonds? Sure, I knew you could boys and girls! Texas just HAPPENS to use one of these banks that has privatized unemployment payments. No more checks. You now get a loaded credit card. Nice work if you can get it.
HUMMMMM! Holy Iran-Contra, Batman! Time to head for the Batcave. It's Bush's third term all over again!
Read the numbers below. The numbers tell the tale and it is not one that flatters Mr. "Straight Talk" McCain. From one Irish about another Irish.....something is rotten in the State of Denmark. The numbers don't add up even for a George W Bush (the sequel) reigeme.
Make note......Cindy McCain says that her money is private family money and not subject to public disclosure. He suddenly took "Public Money" at the end. He only obeyed McCain-Feingold because he took out a loan to finance his campaign when he the "Straight Talk Express" was running on financial gas fumes! I know he says that he doesn't know anything about the economy but does this PROVE that he has never pumped his own gas?
I would wager after today, that Russ Feingold regrets putting his name on the McCain-Feingold Bi-Partisian Campaign Reform legislation. He watched Phone Companies get a get out of jail free card today. Maybe Russ Feingold signed in the spirit of Bipartisan Campaign reform. Now he may regret this decision.
Read 'em and weep Senator Straight Talker..... Here is your web page reference.....In the age of the Gore inspired "internets, "We the People" have our eyes upon you........all the live long day! Ask Clayton Williams......memories run long in the Lone Star State that you pal, Bush claims to be a part of. We KNEW Ann Richards........He's NO Ann Richards!

John McCain setting up cheap drugs for Wal-Mart?
Fri Jul 4, 1:44 PM ET US Republican presidential hopeful John McCain speaks during a press conference at the Federal Police building in Mexico City on July 3, 2008. White House hopefuls Barack Obama and McCain marked the US Independence Day holiday Friday with parades, picnics and odes to patriotism.
NOT SO FAST SMART GUY!! What the heck is McCain doing in Mexico City with his wife
the day before he and his wife went back to the US to eat at a 4th of July Picnic?
Try understanding this......he was in Columbia the day before when the "Hostages" were released?
How the heck can he be there AHEAD of the release of hostages if he was so busy running for the US President? Interesting. Surely it doesn't have anything.....surely.....you don't think that he is setting the whole thing up to be there in case he could have had negotiations for NAFTA of his own kind! NAW....that's too conspiratorial. There HAS to be another answer.
I get it. They released them and he had time to go to Mexico for a pinata for his wife's NASCAR meeting on the FOURTH. THAT is CAPITALISM! That WORKS!
