Mcain: "I don't understand economics." "The economy is sound."

John McCain has flipped his lid. This election season is a train
wreck in progress. The only question is whether people have what it
takes to realize this before it's too late.

This thing could be thrown into disarray just by more tactics (or
double-cross tactics? we don't know) like what we saw with "Anonymous"
hacking Sarah Palin's email.

One thing about "Anonymous": it seems to get really pissed off and
ruthless about exposing a scam for what it is. When batshit insanity
is trying to pass itself off as legitimate, that seems to send
"Anonymous" into action. The injustice of letting this insanity pass
is just too much.

The campaign took a major turn towards unreality the moment John
McCain secured his party's nomination.

When we have an unfurling consensus amonst economists that the economy
at least appears to be going into meltdown, John McCain's new
epistemology of unreality says to go into denial mode.

Whether we appear to be headed towards a cliff isn't the scary part.
The scary part is whether a candidate for President of the United
States, who admits he's not qualified to discuss economics, is even
acknowledging it. But it's worse than not merely acknowedging it, if
that's what his lack of economic qualifications might have allowed him
to do; he is denying it.

A is A, folks. This is reality kicking in. Crunch time.

McCain is a disaster.

There's now some speculation going about that he's deliberately
sabotaging his own campaign for the good of the country, or that he's
on the take from the Democrats to lose this election. That there's
even such speculation going about tells you just how bad it has
gotten. No one seriously desiring this office puts out the things
McCain has been putting out these past two weeks, not unless they
think people are unbelievable stupid and incapable of processing the
economic news right now.

This, on the heels of 8 years of the worst mismanagement by a
President we may have ever seen.

I see ominous parallels here to a past instance where a country went
over a cliff and not enough "alarmists" stood up to call it out as it
was happening. We have an electore half of which is mired in
unreason, ready and willing to embrace anything.

When is reality going to kick in? Now, or before it's too late?
