A Third Class Temperament
George Will sums up McCain:
Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama.
Channeling his inner Queen of Hearts, John McCain furiously, and apparently without even looking around at facts, said Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be decapitated.
And Bush Republicanism:
The political left always aims to expand the permeation of economic life by politics.
Today, the efficient means to that end is
government control of capital. So, is not McCain's party now conducting
the most leftist administration in American history? The New Deal never
acted so precipitously on such a scale. Treasury Secretary Paulson,
asked about conservative complaints that his rescue program amounts to
socialism, said, essentially: This is not socialism, this is necessary.
That non sequitur might be politically necessary, but remember that
government control of capital is government control of capitalism.
