The vast majority of elected pols are both "for" and "against" on this one. They support it reluctantly, because (they claim - echoing the administration's warning of dire consequences) if they don't pass something agreeable to Secretary Paulson, there will be an economic meltdown within days or weeks.
McCain is in the group that is "reluctantly in agreement" with Paulson. So is Obama. On this particular vote, the two are indistinguishable.
that’s what happens when you listen to ‘experts’ instead of markets
Without a doubt, it's a duopoly.
What difference between the actions of the two candidates? A universe apart, and we need to realize it, the American people need to be informed and reinformed of it. Barack Obama said 'call me to come do my job if there's no way I can avoid it.' John McCain said, 'I have a job for which I was entrusted by the people of Arizona, so I'm going back to Washington and roll up my sleeves to enter the discussions. I'll get back to you later, after I've done my job.'
The democrats are trying to elect a lazy, poseur who has deep ties to the Marxist 'community organizers' of ACORN and who is quite possibly a pernicious sociopath who has no moral compass.
The differences between the two party candidates could not be more stark, but we have operatives working FreeRepublic daily trying to blur the distinctions. They are not honest and they do not have the nation's interests at the heart of their motives. One or two have registration dates quite a few years back! But then, the father of lies always has his minions in waiting, even at FreeRepublic.com.
