Bye Bye Phil Gramm

The accuser of Americans as whiners and mental recession sufferers has quit the McCain campaign. He says he’s doing it to “end the distraction.” C’mon, Phil, stop whining!

Phil is not whining. He’s just sulking.
Come on Phil… Don’t Worry - Be Happy!
And just think of it, more time to play golf now.

Gram-wise and kilogram-foolish? Well, at least until this announcement.
July 18th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Perhaps Phil was misquoted; Maybe he meant to say “wieners”.
July 18th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Hey Phil, KISS MY ASS !

We as Americans are WAY too whiny…it has nothing to do with political orientation, religion, etc. We have it pretty good in this country, despite the imperfections. Not sure why everyone is piling on this poor guy. “Scumbag”?
July 19th, 2008 at 1:17 am
flap,
Everyone is “piling on this poor guy” because in reality he truly is a scum-sucking white-collar criminal who set the stage for the foreclosure crisis. He also helped to run UBS, which is part of the investigation of American tax evasion running into $100 billions worth.
This “poor guy”? Someone you respect? A patriot?
Hello! He’s NOT RESIGNING for this “whiny” comment/media smokescreen; he’s being KICKED OFF InSane’s careening bus because he’s a goddamn criminal who owes the Treasury millions upon millions, and now that the truth is leaking out, his troubles threaten to stain InSane’s carefully cultivated clean facade.
This “poor guy,” this billionaire you’re defending, represents the slickest of the trash that is crawling around deep underneath the ever-thickening muck and scum of Washington.
Public servants like him (who parlay their government experience into becoming high-powered lobbyists and other such vermin) need to be flushed down the toilet.
The only problem is the flusher would have to keep a boot on Gramm’s head while flushing, because he’s the kind of filthy-rich financial criminal who REFUSES to stop fighting for his God-given American Right to steal the taxpayers’ money.

Phil Gramm has lost site of who we are. He’s forgotten who he works for. Most DC government officials are wealthy and are not affected by the economic problems of the working class. This is why they refuse to react in many economic situations. His comments show his arrogance and contempt for the working class and we should consider handing him his pink slip.
July 19th, 2008 at 6:33 am
With regard to his departure Gramm said, “It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Sen. McCain”. Sounds like whining to me.
July 19th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Phil Gramm, a typical politician who should have a noose around his neck!
July 19th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Phil,you were not fired? just think of it as a combined public majority voice telling you to ….FUCK OFF !!
July 19th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Phil Gramm “has quit the McCain campaign”?
Sure he has, and I also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Cheap.
Phil has only gone underground. He’s still around. He and McBush have been friends and associates for too many years to let a few loud mouthed whiners come between them.
Phil would make a “good” Secretary of Treasury. Let McBush give Phil the keys to the national treasure and see who he gives it all away to. And you thought Hank Paulson had lots of friends on Wall Street?

wow, so many whiney liberals saying such idiotic things.
Phil Gramm said it right, and he is and has been an outstanding, ethical, law abiding and brilliant Senator. For anyone to say otherwise is nonsense.
I know why so many on the liberal whiney left hate Sen. Phil, he upholds good honest ethical values and this in itself sickens most of you liberals. What is over the top? Phil is a Christian. That sets off hysteria in so many of you libs that makes you want him out of office or as at least one person said, executed for being a Christian.
You dont even know what Phil said or what his record is, nor does it matter, the leftist liberal mindset is to have a tantrum like an infant, but infants that can spew out words. So leftist libs write out sentences with not nice things in there just for the shock value, even there is no substance, no facts, its pretty much all just nonsense;
typical for the liberal left side of whining tantrum word spewers, bunch of lazy, apathetic, ignorant self centered LIBERALS! Where’s your dignity? Why do you hate America so much? oh, right, liberals hate that people have freedom, we need to install communism, the savior of the left
July 20th, 2008 at 2:00 am
^ and once again, more of the same boring, whiney rightwing talking abouts about liberals. lol, talk about having a temper tantrum.
Jesus was a liberal. That is my opinion. And it is also my opinion that if Jesus were to walk up to you tomorrow to tell you to love your neighbor as you love yourself and to turn the other cheek to your enemies, you’d probably call him weak and whiney and then crucify him all over again.
Why do you hate America so much?
lol, you’re the one spewing all the hate right above. You’re the one who hates America because you want all Americans to march in lockstep with only YOUR opinion on things. And if I’m a communist then I guess you must be a fascist.
Why do you hate freedom so much?
Now go to your room and think about that. :)
July 20th, 2008 at 6:05 am
I love freedom. It’s politicians like Phil Gramm who does not want us to be free. Enron probes, the mortgage crisis, he was involved in all of that.

I just point out the facts nicely and calmly and Im accused of being a rightwinger having a tt?
Was Jesus a liberal? It depends on how the word liberal is defined. First of all Jesus ALWAYS tells the truth and is obviously opposed to abortion. Those 2 items alone alienate Jesus from the political left; If Jesus would be a liberal then why does the liberal left hate Christianity so much? No bibles in public schools, no prayer anywhere, no Christmas decorations, each year liberals are out front fighting against the mention of Jesus.
Jesus said “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
That doesnt sound like a liberal as most are defined today;
Do you think Jesus EVER said to turn the other cheek to your enemies? Maybe youre thinking of Ghandi.
you seem to confuse hate filled with a proper dislike of bad things. I point out bad things and you mock me instead of agree with the point?
Im not using the reference to communism loosely, it is a LITERAL reference, the liberal left over the past 60 years has shown preference to those people or regimes who are communist. Why does your liberal mainstream hate Richard Nixon or hate Joe McCarthy (of decades past)? These are 2 great American hero’s.
But they exposed liberals/democrats who were partnered up with communists; Ollie North is another one, he stopped the communist Sandanista’s who were backed by the USSR, Castro and the majority of democrats in congress…
These are events in history. I just want the America as it was and has been, based on Christian beliefs, honesty, hard work, integrity and no abortion.

Bradley ,if you’re trying to appeal to their “reason”, i hope you did so wiht the full expectation that they will reply with fart noises and animal sounds.
These folks are diehard partisans engaged in an ideological war against all those they disagree with.. you will never see them do any act of self-reflection or any analysis of excesses on their side.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
lol…Hey Vince, thats a great point, share reason with liberals and they respond with fart noises and animal sounds…?
Would anyone like to challenge this?
Now of course Alan Colmes is not in that category, he does what almost no one else on the liberal left can do, or tries to do which is to actually put the time into figuring out details and discussing things with reason and fact, the Truthseeker General is still a good name.
However 1 thing Alan said recently on tv I can actually say is not correct is, well I dont want to go off course
July 20th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Bradley: the idea that Christ, vis-a-vis abortion, would have said ANYTHING else other than something like “you should not kill your own children” is just insanity.
Actually, whenever Alan talks about Christ not specifically talking about abortion it makes me want to pick up my computer and throw it out the window. (Which, by the way, means he is being an effective liberal host.) Just because Christ did not specifically talk about IN THE WOMB murder being wrong does not somehow make murdering unborn children something that Christ or God morally tolerates. Christians should never be for abortion-on-demand.
There are SOME exceptions to late-term abortion, such as conditions that are incompatible with life. Anencephaly, meaning a baby with no brain, is the biggest one that comes to mind. I don’t think an abortion then is wrong. But those exceptions are few and far between. Murder is morally wrong. Abortion is murder. Abortion is morally wrong.

Hi flap, I think Christ did talk about the unborn saying God knit them together in the womb of the mother; interesting the expression “knit” was used before DNA was discovered as existing
also there is at least one reference to the outrage God has at the practice of child sacrafice.
Abortion is of course murder, and in the larger scope is an evil Satanic child sacrafice where the mother may not be aware of what evil she partakes in because groups like planned parenthood in cooperation with Satan, have devised schemes to trick or hypnotize women into allowing the abortion/Satanic child sacrafice. some of the lies are “its for the health of the mother” or something that the family just doesnt have enough cash to be happy with this child; or if none of those lies work, then the doctor will lie by saying the child is deathly ill and should be murdered as a mercy killing. Well they probably dont use those words but they say the exact same thing.
No abortion can ever be justified, not even in some case of medical diagnosis of not having a brain, which is probably just another huge lie. And think about it, are you going to want proof? if so it requires the murder of the child. Have you ever been present at the autopsy yourself to have seen it?
And Alan Colmes was wrong when he said that, regarding the energy/oil problems said: “drilling for oil offshore or ANWR will not affect the price of a bbl of oil, not one penny…”
This is a reference to the future floated by many democrats. its saying that an oil market whose price fluctuates wildly on rumors and speculation? will NOT be affected by speculation of more oil drilling? but wait, when there was even news of a hurricane approaching the gulf of Mexico the price went UP on the idea that drilling would be affected.
So its about the most ridiculous assertion one could make stringing words together in a sentence.
liberals just want the US economy to be suffering, that way they can propose that socialism (which everyone knows is communism-lite) be made the law of the land and the US Constitution be discarded as useless. Im not being sarcastic at all

[...] to do it. McCain has been a long-time advocate of reducing corporate regulation, along with his free market friend and financial advisor Phil “Americans are whiners” [...]
