McCain created the impression that he’s going to hammer out a deal, or at least that’s how the press is going to color it. The one thing that McCain can do if the Democrats try to ram this down the Republicans throats is get before the cameras and talk about this earmark in the bill and how much responsibility these highly partisan special interests have for the current banking crisis. Then say he will go back to the table, but if the Dems continue to poison the proceedings, no deal is better than a raw deal for taxpayers, and he’ll return to the campaign. Do not allow Pelosi, Reid, and other creeps to hog the cameras.
He's working the phones trying to find a way forward that would protect the taxpayer...and this deal that's on the table now is not a very good deal...20% of the money that should go to retired debt that will be created to solve this problem winds up in the housing organization called ACORN that is an absolute ill-run enterprise. And I can't believe that we would take money away from debt retirement to put it in a housing program that doesn't work.
