It's just like you to spread that myth about. John McCain was nominated by Republicans.

Agree with Dick Morris on Hannity & Colmes that McCain blew this big time. He had the opportunity to fashion and present something diametrically opposed to the trash that went up for the vote today and he didn't. If Morris said it thenit must be wrong. The time is coming when McCain can step in but the public has to be for it.

It's just like you to spread that myth about. John McCain was nominated by Republicans. Horse hockey. States like Virginia allow you to vote in any primary, regardless of political affiliation. The only catch is that if you vote in the GOP primary, you may not vote in the Dem primary, and vice versa.
It's hard to tell who exactly was nominating who, here.

Juan is the greatest insurance policy the Dems could ever have.

You can change “stabbing” to “pounding”.
Hard.

It is because of purists such as yourself that many House Republicans caved and voted 'No'. You have no sense of pragmatism about you.
You don't do anything which will cause an economic meltdown six weeks before an election! Period. End of story.

Government can stop business cycles like it can stop human nature: it can't. But, it can always make things worse.

Republicans will receive the blame for not passing the bill, and the Dems will reap the benefits of voter anger. A more GOP friendly bill will pass on Thursday probably brokered by the Senate GOP. McCain can get some credit for that.

In other words, the bill most of us hate will be replaced by the bill we despised, and well STILL end up looking like the bad guys who acted irresponsibly and gave away Hundreds of Billions to corporate fat cats. The RATS that voted no because they come from previously GOP districts will still vote no. I think that Pelosi has all the RAT votes she can get. The worse bill will get even less GOP support. The new bill must come the GOP way.

Your position is silly and shortsighted.

Given that the next President is almost certainly going to be either Juan Bohica-McCain or THE ONE...
...the fact that the Market didn’t drop 10,000 points months ago counts as “irrational exuberance.”
Cue CCR: “Bad Moon Rising”

We the People ON THIS SITE know the Rats caused this mess.
Unfortunately, the rest of the PEOPLE listen to the MSM. Since the MSM is full of liberal sycophants, the story line will be the Republicans caused this and the Stock Market losses that have and will continue to occur before the election.
McCain blew his chance at the Debate to attach Obama to this mess with his Fannie and Freddie associates. Now we are on defense, and we will continue to be until election day unless McCain brings a gun to this knife fight.
After McCain's pitiful statement today after the vote, I am rapidly losing faith in his ability to speak for me, my party and my beliefs.

Is it any mystery why Lindsey is a McCainista? Are you suggesting that his tasseled loafers may be a bit light? REALLY!?! I hadn't noticed! /sarc

I’m a bottom line kind of guy, and the bottom line is that the Democrats control the House. They did not need a single Repubican vote to pass their bill.
