I do not understand this. If the majority of the American people are against this bailout and the republicans are against this bail out, why is McCain dropping in the polls.
It seems to me that McCAin is with the American people on this.
I haven’t looked at polls hate them. As far as I can tell, all other polls are all over the map.
“If the majority of the American people are against this bailout and the republicans are against this bail out, why
is McCain dropping in the polls.”
For one reason, and one reason only: BECAUSE HE HAS NOT COME OUT AGAINST THE BAILOUT.
“I do not understand this. If the majority of the American people are against this bailout and the republicans are against this bail out, why is McCain dropping in the polls?”
you are thinking too logically. ;-)
the Rats and the MSM are framing things more effectively than the repubs are.
No one is really out front for us, calling them out on it, making all the valid points that people in this thread are making.
No one is out there nailing the dems on Fanny and freddy. No one is out there blasitng the Rats and telling the public they can pass it right now w/o the Repubs if they wanted to.
No one is calling her out for her BS that House Repubs are being unpatriotic.
No one is opening their mouth to nullify what Nazi Pelosi is shrieking. Maybe sarah can blow them out of the water thursday...
It seems to me that McCAin is with the American people on this.

He’s fence sitting and therefore looking indecisive and weak. I am praying we’ll see some guts from this man. If this were the crisis the dems claim, they’d forget the republicans and vote for the bailout, certain that they’re right. They’re not and that is the reason they want the republicans to buy in so that they’re covered when the bailout doesn’t work. McCain needs to show some guts and do what’s right. Blast the plan and be outraged at the dems for their political stunts and go after them.

The polls had me very, very depressed. But then this thing came along and just kept snowballing. Frankly, I’m at the point where I don’t give a damn about what Scott Rassmussen or Gallop or Real Clear Politics say. What I care most about is what John McCain cares about, saving my free republic. The rest can rot. I’m with the House GOP. HOLD FAST, STAND FIRM, TELL THE DEMOCRATS TO GO TO HELL.
If McCain loses, and I don’t believe he will, just think, we here at FR will be seasoned vets in a continuing war against socialism. And I bet we can get a Republican majority in Congress at midterms.
You know, a lot of those Americans should also be looking in the MIRROR. Nobody forced them to squeeze all the bloated equity out of their homes and wind up upside-down on their mortgages or sign papers for overpriced hovels or for new upscale McMansions they couldn't afford. And contrary to some of what I read here, most of those lenders were, short-term, perfectly happy to make those loans and collect the upfront fees. They probably even expected a bail out.
Dems want to blame Republicans, Republicans want to blame Democrats, but the lawmakers, lenders, and borrowers all have dirty hands. Just my 2 cents.
