NO, everyone does NOT oppose this. Have you been keeping up with the polls the last week?
Yes, last week it was 70-80% opposed. After the 777 drop on Monday, it was only 34% opposed. The rest were for it or undecided.
And it doesn’t matter what we think in polls anyway. We have a representative democracy, right?
So trash McCain and help Obama. The world isn’t fair nor perfect. Gotta do the best you can.
If McCain had voted against this, he would definitely be done in the election. The MSM and Obama would be running ads saying McCain is against saving the economy.
Since both McCain and Obama voted for this, it neutralizes the issue politically. Now McCain has got to get his message out who caused this.
Less than 5 weeks folks. And we are still in for a slew of bad economic news between now and November.
NO- we have a representative republic, not a democracy, get it straight already for there is a big difference between the two.
Kindly ignore your publik skool edukashen and the liberal media whores.
You seem to assume that McCain is “really” against the bailout but had to vote for it because of expediency. The truth is is that he was FOR the bailout even when the polls showed that the vast majority of Americans were against it. As a result, only one point of view was represented in the MSM (and the last debate) If, on the other hand, McCain had opposed the bailout from the beginning, he could have helped fortify the no forces. They might still be the majority. He never even tried because he always thought the bailout was a good idea.
If McCain had gotten the message out prior to the vote, he could have voted NAY, and forced Obama to follow HIS lead in order to promote CHANGE.
McCain may have been a war hero, POW, etc. but he is a political coward.
