Thank You Democrats

[indy007]

What I'm curious to, is to why McCain's speaking so much about getting this to pass.

Because the man doesn't know how to campaign for $%!@.

Trying to change the subject? Unlike the self serving democrats shown in this video McCain was one of those republicans warning of an unrestrained Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back when we had time to reign them in.

I expect we're going to see a lot of avoidance through deflection in this thread.

McCain pulling this crap will make the original subject (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) dissapear into the woodwork, if they get that ill-minded bailout plan through. The voters' at that point won't bother going back to 2004 to criticise any Dems'...They will hammer on the GOP in the here and now about the bailout, and it's repercussions.

Frode has a point. McCain SHOULDN'T be pulling for this bill. And it does hurt his campaign with the base. McCain can ill afford to anger the base.

I've always said, he's a democrat in republican clothing. The Dems can't go wrong this election OsamaBinBiden (thks Lazs) or McInsane.

So is pining about what's already been done, and letting today's problem run away because of it. We can't (unfortunately) go back to 2004 and email those representative's that trying to persue the goals of getting their constituents out of the ghetto (dirty slums, but they could at least pay for it with welfare) and into McMansions' out in the suburbs (Which they can't afford, and soon turn those into dirty slums anyway) and show those congressman the problem we have today-an apparantly difficult to solve financial crisis where the cure might be more damaging than the affliction.

Now's the time to E-mail the toejam out of McCain, and tell him to shut up and vote against the bailout in it's present form.

I agree although I think Obamassiah has made plenty of mistakes the left acts like its genius when he does.

[Hangtime]

yup. But the old bugger has a history of flip-flops in a spectacular way.. how this one goes remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the administration is calling in all their chips and owed favors to back paulson and the fed. If mccain expects to get elected he'd better come up with a heluva 'dog ate my homework' story 72 hours before election day.

 I still see the house republican revolt as the best thing the hill has done for america in recent history. that bailout bill was a trainwreck.. they need to get it right.

meanwhile, the dem smokescreen will become the hot political potato.. we'll be seeing some fire and brimstone flaming finger pointing in the weeks ahead. obama and the dems better invest in nomex.

I agree that no bailout should reward those responsible for this nightmare. However, recognizing those responsible for this disaster is necessary to avoid the same mistake in the future. Every single politician that defended the practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be tarred and feathered.

That's too true. My original point was, if McCain backs the bailout, and it turns out to be as ruinous as the original problem, the focus will shift to his actions, not those of the house Dem's you saw in the CNN clips. In short, McCain would actually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
