Yep. Here was an excellent chance for him to come out AGAINST an unpopular bailout. Isn’t he always going on about how he’s a fiscal hawk? Riiiigggghhhhht.
Nevertheless, he’s all we got, and he’s a far cry better than the Obamarxist.
McCain needs to wake the hell up. Up until this point he had made near perfect strategic choices. The American people don’t like this bailout and John McCain isn’t going to make them like it. He need to get with the GOP and offer an alternative because this bill is only going to get worse if he doesn’t. The next version of this bill will be stuffed to the gills to accommodate the Democrats who wouldn’t vote for this the first time because there were no goodies for their constituents who are mostly the ones saddled with subprime loans. Pray for this guy to get it. If he goes back to Washington and tries to play this in the middle he is dead. People like John McCain because he doesn’t play the middle of the road. Someone needs to sit down with him and explain the situation. I saw John Kyle doing the same damned stupid thing today. The Democrats are attacking and too many in the GOP act as if they are either too dumb or too elitist to fight this out. They had better do the right thing on this or Obama will be President.
