The Occupy Wall Street movement is getting sympathy from an unlikely person: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee said he understands the growing protest movement’s concerns over Washington bailouts of major financial institutions.
“Down in Arizona today, Maricopa County has the highest number of homes underwater of any place in this country,” he told reporters Wednesday. “And it’s disgraceful that we took care of the financial institutions, and we did nothing about the housing crisis. So I understand their frustration.”
He later quipped that he may be the “only” Republican does.
He is amiss if he doesn’t also point out that their anger is misdirected. Rich people, rich companies, usually help the economy because they don’t usually stuff the money they earn into mattresses. There’s not a whole lot that government does, especially today, to merit being paid money. National defense, public streets, a minimum of keeping order... all the rest is bureaucrats paid to sit on their hineys, push pencils, and trip up the private sector.
ha ha ha mccain is a joke too bad his run for president was a laughing stock also and has ruined this country, as bad as i don’t like Romney i think the country would probably be on a better path now.

Juan Mcbolshevik hates rich people who did not get their wealth from being an adulterer and a gigolo.
John McCain (R-media whore) right on cue. He even gets in a trash of his own party.
This man isn’t just a RINO’s RINO. He’s a joke.
Added Juan McCain to my “Goals” list:
13. Outlive Juan McCain.
14. Somehow Get a peek at Meghan’s rack.
I’m a very simple man...
Unfortunately, brains, common sense, and good hygiene are not currently transplantable...even if Obamacare would pay for the operations....so I guess they'll just have to continue going through life suffering the agony of liberalism.
“I feel their pain”: mcnasty
No you do not john... you putrid festering puss filled sos... you have gas.
LLS
This from a guy who suspended his campaign for President so he could finally come to the conclusion we needed TARP.
About all you can do is watch in amazement when in 2015 he'll redo the "McCain Hustle": pretend to be conservative so he'll win re-election yet again.
McDemocrat is a soundbite whore. He thinks he’s relevant.

WRONG, as usual Sen. John McRINO. Financial Institutions were forced at the point of Hank Paulson’s 45 minute gun to accept “The Fecal Federal Finger of Help.”
And the housing crisis was sealed by Clinton, Bush2, Greenspan, Sub-Prime Barney and Chrissie Dodd, to name just a few. What happened? The banks were forced by Federal law to loan to people that were a bad risk.
Then your stupid Federal Housing Authority went bankrupt, along with Freddie and Fannie.
Want to “help?” Simple, just privatize the bankrupt FHA, Fannie, and Freddie.
BTW, Sen. John McRINO, just shut up.
He’s running again?
Where is the “Aw, geez not this sh*t again” photo?? Anyone?
