McCain suspends campaign, calls for Obama to do same
CNN
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
NEW YORK (CNN) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain announced Wednesday that he is suspending his campaign to return to Washington and focus on the “historic” crisis facing the U.S. economy.
The Arizona senator called on his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to do the same.
The Obama campaign announced that Obama would make a statement shortly.
He also urged organizers of Friday’s presidential debate at the University of Mississippi to postpone the event.
“I am calling on the president to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself,” McCain told reporters in New York. “It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.”

It was not immediately clear how extensive the suspension he announced would be — whether it would include dropping television advertising or just canceling scheduled appearances. McCain took no questions after reading his statement.
McCain’s announcement came just hours before President Bush was scheduled to address the nation on the troubled state of the U.S. financial system — a problem for which his administration has proposed a $700 billion bailout.
In response, the Obama campaign said Obama called McCain at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to ask if the Republican nominee would join him in a joint statement of “shared principles and conditions” for the proposal. It said McCain called back at 2:30 p.m. — shortly before his New York announcement — to agree, and “The two campaigns are currently working together on the details.”
The bailout plan has met with a cool reception in two days of hearings on Capitol Hill, where both Democrats and Republicans have expressed skepticism about the proposal drafted by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

Kinda looks as if they might cancel the election Right?!This doesnt get any closer to a bad sitcom in my eyes.

The cause of this crisis: The existence of the Federal Reserve
The solution: Abolish the un-Constitutional Fed.

Well, it shouldn’t be too hard to see where this all might go.
Personally, I’m looking forward to nationalist socialized Happy Meals — not to mention the exericse me and my butt buddies have planned for skimming on the middle class and poor that we intend to mass murder in the long run by means of ABC (Atomic-Biological-Chemical) anyway.
;-P

Let the coup d’etat begin…
These guys are all on the same team. Prediction: Bush declares a “National Emergency” tonight and suspends the election until this “crisis passes” or that is until they have time to take complete control of the sheeple.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee people – we are on the verge of dictatorship.

Next announcement: Both candidates have decided that the best way to handle this crisis is to crown Beelzebub, ahem Adolph W. Bu$$$h, emperor for life and cancel all elections indefinitely. To commemorate this glorious day, the country will be renamed to The BUShA.
Better start training those ‘Sieg Heil mein Decider’ calls and accompanying arm movement.
‘For more years’ may well be a lot longer…

Cancel his campaign? Seems like now more than ever we need to work toward getting new leadership in the whitehouse.
Not that it really matters. They’re all controlled by the same interest. Somtimes I drift back into the false left/rght paradigm world I used to know. Those were simpler times. (I should’ve taken the blue pill.)

Something is building up here very, very quickly :
U.S. troops in homeland crowd control patrols from Oct 1st – 24.09.08
http://www.prisonplanet.com/us.....r-1st.html
Declare an emergency.
Cancel the elections.
Seize all the assets – close the banks.
and troops on the streets for the ensuing riots.
Hope I`m wrong – but least I`m not – make sure you have FOOD – WATER – and EMERGENCY SUPPLIES (inc. pet food, baby food, medical etc etc etc)
and C A S H – coins – notes (dont rely on credit)
If there`s an emergency – small shops will be able to serve you if you have cash.

Now is this the beginning of cancelled elections? This seems a little toooo dramatic to me considering there is only around five weeks left until we hit the voter booths. I understand the situation is dire but we have the current administration and congress to handle/mishandle what is currently taking place. Keep on with the campaign. Do not SUSPEND anything.

The meeting: pass the bill or I declare martial and pass it myself

Be prepared folks. Get your storable food, berkey water filters, and ammo. The New World Order is implementing something. Be glad that you are the “awoken” and not the stupid fools who still listen to Blush Blimpaugh!
September 24th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
new world order is here.
may i remind you all that pearl harbour was allowed to happen by the US government, to get the US in the second world war.
this is a known fact in the world, US were forewarned prior, but let the attack go ahead. just like 911.
the US created this financial mess, helped it get bad, allowed it to happen.
why ?
to continue the enslavement of the US people. send all the money to the elite people at the top.
when will USA wake up ?
when will you practice the right to bear arms ?
when will you overthrow your corrupt government ?
you are fed information by your supposed free media. this is worse the nazi propaganda the garbage you people believe.
wake up, take action, revolt against an unjust goverment.
today, not tomorrow, not next year, TODAY

Watching British polical program “Newsnight” about this decision and they are slamming Obama for not immediately cancelling his campaign as well. They are making Obama out as being non patriotic cause he is not just being a sheeple for the Bush cronies, it would seem as if Obama is not going to play their game and is gonna do things his way, its clear that the NWO want McCain to take over from Adolf Bush, but they may not get that to happen if Obama doesnt fall into line. How long due you think it will be before Obama is “taken” out?
September 24th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
This is as “in your face” as it get’s. McCain is calling for a “suspension of his campaign so he can ride his white horse back to the capital, frollick hand in hand with everyone to get this “dyer” sitatuation, WHICH THEY, AND THEY being our corrupt officials, have created irresponsibly.
You don’t “suspend” your run for the white house, you don’t suspend anything….. This is a giant chess game and we are the expendable pawns. All the moves are calculated, some work for “their” benefit, some back fire, but there are always more moves. The failures are at our expense.
Right now the Neo Con / media move is: Suspend the run for the white house and per McCain “so we,… the democrats and republicans can finally stop playing 10 year old elementary school politics and finally work things out”.
The real move is: Suspend the run for the white house, Obama does the same, the $700 billion is loaned or really given away / stolen in plane site, the market takes a bigger header, the $700 billion is gone, a state of emergency is put into effect due to the economy going south, the elections are put on hold, Bush and Co. will stay in power “Till this situation is rectified for the benefit of the american people”. Once something is gone…for their benefit, to fuel their power and military machine, they won’t give it back.
It’s always “the New World Order is coming”, “it’ll be here”…”stock up”….”look ou”t…”they will be watching one day”… WAKE UP… If you think like this, you are about 10 years behind the times.

Politics is just a diversion from the real problem, the international bankers. Bankers control the worlds economy, therefore they control the world.
When Reagan sent an audit team into Fort Knox to see how much gold we had, they found out the bankers have stolen over two thirds of it. The deceit and thievery is boundless, and they control the economy and have almost all of Washington on their payroll.
We, the sheeple, have been had……….

So the McCainchurian Candidate wants to fix the economy? Nuking NY, Tel Aviv, Washington DC and Zurich would be the fastest way. But seriously, all he will do is protest against the bailout and then vote for it.
Why doesn’t Bush just declare a state of emergency? He already has his plenipotentiary powers. No, the October Surprise Redux must be warming up. This is unprecedented to put a campaign on hold at this stage of the game., I think.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Surprises are a farce. Every year we’ve had several possible surprises. More like little post it notes to remind us of Bonehead bush’s legacy before he’s out of office.

“The United States Federal Reserve, these reports continue, became alarmed this past year with the unprecedented ascendancy of Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, who Russian Intelligence Officers had previously ascertained was a ‘deep cover’ agent of British Intelligence during his detention in the Siberian city of Perm in 2005 while he was accompanying US Senator Richard Lugar on a nuclear disarmament tour of Russia, and sought to uncover his US and European financial backers through the use of what are called ‘offshore accounts’, and as we can read as reported by the Wall Street News Service:
“US prosecutors are expected to confront Swiss banking giant UBS with a broad subpoena for the names of wealthy American clients who may have used its services to avoid income taxes, according to lawyers and others involved in the case.”

They want to suspend the debate on Friday…..
We should replace the Suspended Debate with “real” debate from the third party candidates……
September 24th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
No “they” don’t want to suspend the debate Laurie. Only Mccain does. Obama is still going.
September 24th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Great idea Laurie. Problem is I don’t believe any of the corporate media channels would televise it.

“Songbird” McCain wants to suspend his campaign because Rick Davis has been shilling for Freddie Mac for $15,000 a month!
“Well, I got caught, so you should stop, too!”
September 24th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
correction….Obama is going to Washington.
September 24th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
This way Palm won’t have to debate Biden. This is nothing more than a political 911, notice all of the terror words, red tie, red carpet and fear mongering.

“Tweety” McCain FORFEITS

so, the VP candidate will step in and obama will debate palin? must see TV!
September 24th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I wish they wouldn’t use the word “suspend” – that’s misleading. It makes it sound like he’s conceding the election. They should have said “McCain takes break from campaigning”
September 24th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
If an malinvestment bank falls and no taxpayer is around to catch it, does it still sound like music?

“So the McCainchurian Candidate wants to fix the economy? Nuking NY, Tel Aviv, Washington DC and Zurich would be the fastest way. We may all need to consider watching out for statements like the above, I have a hunch co intelpro workers and people with nothing more than idle hands could overrun calm and reasonable discussions adding fuel to the fire consuming digital freedom of speech. Here is another thought, might the bankers have two trump cards, one being an october false flag surprise possibly involving conflict with russia, or by lulling americans back to sleep as to the state of the economy as the clintons did? The dollar lost its value over a period of at least three generations. It seems hard to believe a black man and two women are campaigning for control of the whitehouse for a purely populist cause. Where were the calls for such a drastic shift in power? How could this have happened by chance? Personally strangers seem better fit to see to the enforcement of the law of the land, whether black or hispanic, male or female.

Here is what I believe the dpoey-ass plan is to be:
Ann accord has been made in Congress in regards to the $700 million, so now the threat is that if WE THE PEOPLE do not accept this raping of our pocketbooks so that his cronies don’t have to go an hour with sparkling water, he will invoke martial law, having “passed into law” provisions created out of whole cloth by Alberto Gonzales and Michael Mukasey.
Here’s the thing: Congress cannot pass any laws that are UNCONSTITUTIONAL, so the nonsense provisions that the Monkey King has attempted to established should be thrown out.
he may wish to leave office with a shining legacy…but he should have thought of that before he assisted in turning our country into a third-world nation.
