I'll cut him a bit of slack, though. It is sometimes hard to focus on the issues; even more difficult when you and your campaign are doing all sorts of boneheaded things:
- McCain got a wee bit snippy with some news folks
- Carly Fiorina thinks running Hewlett-Packard is harder than running the whole freakin' country (maybe because she got fired?)
- McCain was against regulation until he was for it
- McCain thinks this week's Wall Street debacle is on par with 9/11
- McCain went on a name-calling tirade against his biggest contributors
- McCain invented the Blackberry (snort)
- McCain is just not that good looking, especially compared to Obama
- Sarah Palin (do I really need to provide a link?)
But I can talk issues. Here's today's issue: deregulation. Not always in the public's best interest. Give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile. Or, put another way, give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves. (See: AIG, et al)
Tonya strongly believes that regulation of the US Figure Skating Association (USFSA) is desperately needed. She emphasizes that her lifetime ban in no way influences her stance on this very important subject.
Update: The McCain lie counter is up to 55. Expect that number to go up dramatically over the next few days as McCain tries to talk issues.
P.S. Thanks to Mark for the "against regulation" link!

Please invade us....save us from the dictator known as Steven Harper.
If you need more reason...we have oil! Lots of it. It's in the sand, its in the water and heck, we have been pumping out of the ground for years.
Second reason, if Steven Harper and his tight assed conservatives get in, we will be living in a dictatorship. No more funding for womens groups, no more funding for social programs. Women will be encouraged to stay home and have babies while their strong male mate in marriage (only men and women will be allowed to marry - same sex marriages will be illegal again) goes to work in one of the low paying factory jobs.
Lastly, we have beer, and good beer too. Not that gold colored water you guys pass off as beer. Send Tonya up - she is a popular girl in the small town stripper bars. Heck, I think she may have already played a few!
Now their is three good reasons for the USA to invade us, save us from the hell we refer to as Steven in the Blue Sweater.
How about if we just send Palin to Canada?
Oh, wait. You DON'T want a dictator. Then Tonya is on her way to kick some ass.
"Steven in the Blue Sweater"...hee!
No you can't do that.
May I remind you of Section 14-B-ii of NAFTA, regarding the transport of loud mouth republicans through Canada. We love your war deserters, your tolerate your over commercialized commercialism but we will not tolerate republicans.
Its the law.
oops. kids nattering at me while I typed, should read.....
we tolerate your over commercialized commercialism...
damn, blow another good line!
