From Team McCain....
To Interested Parties:
To address our current financial crisis, John McCain suspended his campaign and returned to Washington, D.C., today to help build a bipartisan consensus for a proposal that would protect the American taxpayer.
Despite today's news reports, there never existed a "deal," but merely a proposal offered by a small, select group of Members of Congress. As of right now, there exists only a series of principles, including greater oversight and measures to address CEO pay. However, these principles do not enjoy a consensus in Congress.
At today's cabinet meeting, John McCain did not attack any proposal or endorse any plan. John McCain simply urged that for any proposal to enjoy the confidence of the American people, stressing that all sides would have to cooperate and build a bipartisan consensus for a solution that protects taxpayers.
However, the Democrats allowed Senator Obama to run their side of the meeting. That did not work as the meeting quickly devolved into a contentious shouting match that did not seek to craft a bipartisan solution.
At this moment, the plan that has been put forth by the Administration does not enjoy the confidence of the American people as it will not protect that taxpayers and will sacrifice Main Street in favor of Wall Street.
The bottom line is that as of tonight, there are not enough Republican or Democrat votes for the current plan. However, we are still optimistic that a bipartisan solution will be found. Republicans and Democrats want a deal that will protect the taxpayers.
Tomorrow, John McCain will return to Capitol Hill where he will work with all sides to build a bipartisan solution that protects taxpayers and keeps Americans in their homes.
THE POSTER SAYS HE IS IN THE MEDIA AND IS ON A MEDIA LIST WITH THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN
When McCain suspended his canidancy does that allow him to save on his presidential funds for a few days so his 84 million will go further?
Oh he’s garbage. This is all kabuki theater. Or more precisely, the highest stakes poker game on earth. Very dangerous too because someone’s bound to go all in. If the Democrats go all in and decide to obstruct reform/bailout, they are saying lets bring this thing down right now and see if we can get all the 401K wiped out white collars to come over. The republicans have more modest goals. They are raising the democrats right figuring they’ll freak and fold. McCain won the argument about whether the campaigns should be suspended so huge points to him. Political theater. These investment banks were going down regardless. It’s the timing that’s important. People have come to expect crisis in September.
It was Barney Frank and Harry “Dingy” reid that wnet berserk.
After all the dirty tricks the dems are pulling I hope they do go on with the debate and McCain talks all about this!!
ACORN, oil shale...
Unbelievable!
I think Obama is going to have to talk to himself tonight. Or perhaps he could debate Biden.
Today is payday. There are rumblings on other boards some owners are being denied line of credit funds by their banks and that’s causing payrolls at smaller outfits to be postponed. That would be indicative of a financial meltdown.
My investments are in the tank as well but I’m with you: as long as O doesn’t win, I can take it.
To facilitate and demonstration real leadership, of course.
Believe that is in step with the prediction that “we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” Thank God I have a secure job.
We should not nationalize this industry.
It was revealed when he didn’t come to Washington on his own - he KNOWS he’s got nothing to bring to the table.
Well he did yell and get angry
Yes
Act fast and do it boldly.
The fact is we are a socialized democracy. We are completely interconnected. To want the old way is fine but to try and get it overnight means complete dislocation, a place where violence replaces politics. Just so you know what you’re pushing for.
Most likely Obama was sitting in a corner playing his Game Boy.... after telling the Big Boys to holler if they need him.
Screw bipartisanship.
Are you familiar with Argentina? Young people there throw flaming shit and are considered heros by the old folks. Financial system failure got the ball rolling in that direction.
“they’re too interested in seeing how much pork they can get into the bailout”
700 BILLION dollars can hide a lot of earmarks...
Or Voter Fraud enablement money.
He yelled here........

I think it is safe to say that never in the history of this nation has there been a presidential candidate who is so lacking in any paper trail. The only thing anybody knows about him is what is in his two autobiographies. Nobody has written a legitimate biography of him because he has no paper trail. Hell we're not even sure he was born in the United States.
The only paper proving he is an American by birth is a forged Birth Certificate that was put on the internet by a guy who has confessed to forging it. He went to Harvard Law School, but where are his transcripts? He wrote a thesis, but who has a copy of it? He claims he is a converted Christian, but where is the evidence of his baptism? He claims he was never a Muslim, but the only documentation we have of his childhood notes that he was listed as a Muslim when he was enrolled is school in Indonesia.
This man is the Manchurian Candidate.
