McCain had an opportunity to really be a maverick and a fiscal hawk. Instead, he was the bailout’s biggest cheerleader.

Yep, it blew his “maverick” label right out of the water.

yeah he really blew it there. Unlike many republicans, he actually opposed many of Bush’s spending programs but all was forgotten when he voted for the bailout. Especially since the senate version had more pork than the House version.

Amen.

What McCain and Bush showed was the ability to be on the wrong side on most issues.

They tried to force the American People to accept the Amnesty Bill and then the Bailout.
