Can we have a do-over and nominate someone else?

/sarc

So... who is everyone writing-in?

[counterpunch]

Does the bill include fixing mark to market accounting?

So what happened to our fundamentally sound economy of a week ago? That is going to be O’s theme. Guess we are all going to be eating those “patties”.

[Aliska]

He's wrong. Palin is for it, too. But an Obama presidency would result in a slowdown of the economy, rescue or no rescue.

I don't know what I'm going to do now.

If DC would STOP promising a bail-out/ rescue, the credit market would free up of it’s own volition. So long as the banks think they will get money for nothing from DC, they would be foolish to do anything but wait.

Does the bill stop giving out bad loans to perhaps people who should not have them????

[Dallas59]

More than anything in the world I want the government to give my tax dollars to people who make really, really bad financial choices and to the foreigners who helped them cause I know the congressmen and senators involved will get the money back... /s

Well, I’m against the orogianl bailout and see nothing drastically different with this bailout II. However, if the goal was to get Congress to pass this bill, McCain sure gave a better speech than Pelosi.

[CatOwner]

Dear Senator McCain,

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Signed,

The American people

[keats5]

Well, I’m against the original bailout and see nothing compelling to make me support this new bailout. However, if McCain’s goal was to get Congress to pass this bill, he gave a more effective speech than Pelosi.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

If it isn’t too late, his people need to put that green duck tape over his mouth until after elections.

[Paine in the Neck]

McCain is so bungling this. He could hit for the trifecta if he announced that, while he wants a rescue bill, he can’t vote for this monstrosity because it doesn’t remove the underlying cause (CRA) and because of the hundreds of pages of unrelated spending that has been tacked on. Going on, he should call out some egregious examples and name names.

By doing this he’d be allying himself with

1. those who don’t want this bailout
2. those who could choke down a clean bill
3. those who became supporters because of his claim he would veto earmark laden bills and ‘name names’

There’d be a 10 pt swing in polls to his benefit immediately.

There’s no chance McCain sees this as a win-win because the White House said it will NOT back the bill with the Republican additions? Doesn’t matter if McCain says “yes” if the White House turns it down anyway.

If it’s good enough for John McCain, it’s good enough for me and should be good enough for the rest of you.

[444Flyer]

Is Johhny taking a dive? Maybe the house really is burning down economically and the mess will be left for Obama, who won’t have dime one for his plans but will be stuck with a fiasco, and I’m sure make it 110% worse. Based on the mess has Repub leadership decided it’s better to come back in 2012? That’s what it looks like anyway.

[Above My Pay Grade]

I am done with McCain. He just sold out America and destroyed his chances of winning at the same time.

I think I will write in Thaddeus McCotter.
