If this comes to fruition, then I get another "told you so." I would gladly forgo that boastful celebratory gesture however because if this happens, I think it wins the election for John McCain. I believe that John McCain and the House Republicans are working on trying to find a way to finance this $700 billion bailout largely or entirely with private money by giving sweetheart deals to investors. If this happens the Democrats will buck it at first forcing John McCain to figure out an alternative way of getting this passed - the court of public opinion. All polling data shows that Americans are overwhelmingly against this bailout because we do not wish to be on the hook for $700 billion in tax revenue. If McCain can boast of changing the bill to rid the people of this taxation bailout I believe he will vault to the Presidency. I also believe that he can attend the debates one way or the other tonight. He will either be able to boast of his accomplishments, or rally support from the public with an anti-taxation solution. IF - IF - IF this is what happens, either scenario is a win win for McCain.
Right on friend. But I hope JM sees this-he needs to go to the debate either way.
HOW ABOUT AGREEING TO *PAY FOR* THIS BAILOUT BY CUTTING $700BILLION In SPENDING SOMEWHERE ELSE
IF I HAVE ONLY $100 TO SPEND AND I SUDDENLY NEED $20 FOR AN EMERGENCY, I CAN’T SPEDN $120 -I ONLY HAVE $100!!!
SO I HAVE TO CUT MY OTHER SPENDING DOWN TO $80 FIRST.

McCain should stay in DC until this is done. He can send Sarah to the debate, and she will wipe the floor with Obama.
Wrong...it’s on foreign policy...if there is to be a debate, McCain will need to be the one who goes.
The economy of the United States is an integral part of our foreign policy. The US is the engine of the global economy. If we go down, the rest of the world goes down with us.
Now quit making sense. You’re liable to upset the natural order of things in DC.
Thanks- I always worry when posting a ‘vanity’ that I will get nothing but flame responses
I think we should get everyone we know to call Washington and ask over and over all day today WHAT ABOUT SOME GD SPENDING CUTS DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT !!!!!!!!!
A few month's worth of foreign aid to regimes that hate us (or tolerate us because we keep them afloat) should more than cover it...
