WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS AND MCCAIN PEOPLE BLASTING THE EMPTY SUIT OVER HIS MEETING PERFORMANCE!!!???

Exactly. If nobody bothers to tell anybody, then it didn't happen.

If the best that the Republicans can do is that limp-wristed response from McConnell, then we deserve to lose everything. Even McCain is just keeping his mouth shut. These guys suck.

Statement By McCain Campaign On Negotiations

"The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain was apparent during the White House meeting yesterday where Barack Obama's priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands. John McCain listened to all sides so he could help focus the debate on finding a bipartisan resolution that is in the interest of taxpayers and homeowners. The Democratic interests stood together in opposition to an agreement that would accommodate additional taxpayer protections."
