I doubt that Barney’s is still made of steel.

If McCain loses election, his unwillingness to turn this issue back on rats will be a primary cause. Suppose he oppose the bailout because of pork and deficit spending?, suppose he asked Obama why he supports bailing out investors that make risky decisions and make money during the boom and expect taxpayers to pay during the bust? Suppose he asked if Obama NOW supports ‘trickle down’? Suppose he asked Obama why an invester bailout helps the economy when he is claiming ‘trickle up’ on his website, tax increase and ‘tax rebate’ welfare checks will revive the economy? Suppose he made Obama debate the bailout bill? NO , McCain caved, voted for the bill and HID like a coward during the senate debate where Obama attacked republicans for ‘trickle down’ . Pathetic, makes me sick.

Too bad that Gov Palin didn’t squarely place the blame for this entire mess on the Community Reinvestment Act, as passed by Carter, ACORN for using it as a club to intimidate banks into making loans to people who could not pay them back, and the congressional ‘Rats for blocking ANY effort to investigate Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or the tactics used by ACORN.

She’s not going to do that. It would be seen as the equivalent of Pelosi unleashing on the GOP and poisoning the vote in the House. Sure, it would be throwing red meat to the base, but it wouldn’t help her or McCain with the middle of the roaders and they HAVE to have those middle of the roaders to win.

There will be names named and fingers pointed in the proper direction in time. Starting that process now will not play well with the public. They are sick and tired of partisan bickering and political posturing.

First, a bill has to be passed and hopefully it won’t be the boondoggle the present bill is.

Shout it from the mountain top!

McCain's problem has always been that he can not see the underlying socialist problems here. We just get more populist crap about Wall St. greed, coruption, etc. OK, yeah fine John but why was Wall St. able to gorge on this stuff? If he can find the answer to that and start to sell it he can win. Palin could have connected a few dots last night but didn't.

I never liked McCain but unfortunately this is the nightmare I expected, but really hoped would NOT happen. President Obama, thanks Bush-McCain!
