Paging Senator McCain

Posted by Vriz on April 14th, 2008

By the way, Sen. McCain was invited to today’s Candidates’ Forum on Manufacturing in Pittsburgh, but was unable to
attend.

Next time John McCain will be in Pittsburgh…? Tomorrow. Meanwhile, “enjoy” the sound of the crickets chirping.

CRICKETMETER

"Deafening silence":

Not a creature stirring, not a whisper about millions of lost jobs.

"Can it get any quieter?!":

Typical campaign talk about a better America, but nothing of substance.

"As quiet as a tree falling in the forest when no one is around":

Jobs and the economy discussed, but no concrete solutions offered.

"Small Talk":

Good discussion of manufacturing woes and unfair competition, but still no promise to address such illegal Chinese trade practices as dumping, subsidies, and currency manipulation.

"Hurrah":

Finally, a candidate goes on record as promising to take strong action against China and enforce U.S. trade law.
