WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is proposing a $300 billion program for the federal government to buy up bad home mortgages and allow homeowners to keep their houses.

What the hell are we doing with the 700 billion? I thought that is what the government was already doing.
Boo. But, Mac did steel the headline :)
He can say whatever he wants, afterall NOBAMA’s doing the same thing. Just as long as NOBAMA doesn’t win in Nov.
Dear God that sucks.
I’m a renter because I knew this crap was overpriced, even though I could afford it... I guess I was a sucker for not buying anyway?
He is going to lose by 15% points and may lose by 200 EVs. This man is a conservative?
Everytime I think McCain might start making a run at this thing, he pulls something dumb out of his butt. For someone to prattle on about big government spending and then say something like that takes a lot of something, and it ain’t good.
How did it get down to these two?
That’s about where I threw my remote at the TV and turned it off.
Got an absentee ballot sitting on my desk right now and half tempted to go down the capital steps tomorrow and burn it instead of voting.
The Republican candidate suggesting bailing out individual home owners. The REPUBLICAN.
I need a drink...
I guess he is trying to lose my vote. I’m glad I didn’t contribute to his campaign. I have given to conservative Senate candidates and for the House elections.
Why did he announce this during this debate. Ugh,,, more spending. I’m concerned.
Way to go McCain, welcome to entitlement housing.
Didn’t Biden say the same thing about renegotiating mortgages? I knew this had been in the original Paulson bill, but had been stripped out by the House Republicans.
What a BAD idea!!!!
Obama; McCain
ketchup; catsup
stupid; dumb
communism; socialism
oh well!
That ain’t conservatism. I’m a little too jaded now to comment further.
Hope he buys mine....
AND Obama says healthcare is a right! I must have missed that in the Bill of Rights.
And it was only like the second question!
Too late. The Dodd bailout already bought them
Yep, should have slipped into your big fat house while the getting was good—then just hung on for the rescue!
