McCain hung around NY, giving speeches and interviews, obviously in no real hurry to get to DC & handle a problem he obviously doesn't get.
He did not suspend his campaign, quite the contrary.
He had no solutions or help to offer and no real place in committee meetings he wasn't part of.
Where Congress was close to an agreement before McCain got there, it has now fallen apart.
Washington Mutual is failing.
Thank God McCain jumped in to take the lead, huh?

I assume your 3 million civilian death tally is refering to the Cambodian-Vietnamese War that broke out after we left Vietnam. Are you aware that in that conflict, the Vietnamese were actually fighting AGAINST the Khmer Rouge, which had already slain around 1.5 million people within its borders and was making encroachments into Vietnam? To presumably blame the Vietnamese for the slaughter they were opposing would render your argument suspect at best. And if that's not where you're achieving your "3 million civilians died" claim, then I welcome you to explain--specific statistics and citations would be appreciated.

I will make no judgment as to your being a man or not because of your views. That is like saying one is not for America for not agreeing with the latest war. It’s a false argument. And you calling names in regard to Mr. Cronkite says more of you than of him. I don't have to defend him. A nation listened to him and trusted him. He earned that.
As to who leans which way…. The media as left wing has been a myth to make all new right wing since Reagan allowed right wing Corps to buy all the networks. You’re just buying the right wing line. It’s so obviously a load. CBS leans left...? You make me laugh. Any effort at the truth is a communist plot to some of you or at least that’s how you will paint it. It’s called framing the argument. And it more name calling. It’s simple. Just like your reasoning. Rove like. And effective only with the uneducated using a compliant press. As in the selling of Bush as a leader, war in Iraq and now McSame and "I can see Russia from my house!!" Palin.
