Gramm Out

By Kleinheider Posted on July 18, 2008 at 6:50 pm

Novak was wrong. Former Senator Phil “A Nation of Whiners” Gramm says he is no longer a part of the official McCain campaign:

“It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Senator McCain on important economic issues facing the country. That kind of distraction hurts not only Senator McCain’s ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country’s problems, it hurts the country. To end this distraction and get on with the real debate, I hereby step down as Co-Chair of the McCain Campaign and join the growing number of rank-and-file McCain supporters.”

For Real: Junior Takes It To The Grammcracker

By Kleinheider Posted on July 10, 2008 at 7:49 pm

From R. Neal, Harold Ford, Jr. responds to Phil Gramm’s assertion that we are in “a mental recession” and that America is “a nation of whiners”:

“We have a competitiveness problem in America whether we want to admit it or not….This is not mental, this is real.

The fact that we don’t graduate enough engineers and scientists in this country, that’s real. The fact that we don’t have a real immigration policy in this country, that’s real. The fact that small businesses are paying too much for health care crippling their ability to innovate and hire more people, those are real issues.

And as much as this may be a little mental, this is a real issue for government leaders, for business leaders and certainly for people all across this country.”

~ Harold Ford, Jr.
