Very interesitng...thanks for posting.
“After the meeting in the White House with the Presidential candidates, it was reported falsely that there was - before the meeting - a basic deal. Those reports were obviously contrived so the Democrats could say Sen. John McCain blew it up by coming back. There was no deal. The reports of the early deal were just as truthful as when Rep. Barnie Frank said a few years ago that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were solid and we didn’t need reforms nor did we need to worry. He was wrong then too.
What was not initially reported is that everyone spoke at the meeting. When it was McCain’s turn last, everyone anticipated him reaching across the aisle so he could claim he was a peace-maker and got a deal, no matter how bad it was for conservatives or American in general.
All the reports I heard said that the meeting broke down with loud yelling and that McCain never really said much during the whole meeting. That is true, but what he did say was that the “...House Republicans are right on this one.”
All heck broke loose! The Democrats expected him to be political; not principled. How could he disappoint them? But McCain did disappoint: the Democrats, not the Republicans.”

Of course, the most important words in that passage are a microcosm of how the Fifth Column is trying to throw the election: “IT WAS REPORTED FALSELY.”
I’ve diligently tried to inform myself about all the things at stake in this mess- I’m still confused- but several points stand out:
-The Treasury has been working on this for months- yet at the last minute when it appeared we were in a crisis- this socialist plan was the best they could do..
-Paulson can’t be trusted as an honest broker.
-The liberals are winning the PR war.
:) "House Republicans are right on this one"
Principled indeed!
