The Bush administration already has all of the tools it needs to correct the crisis on its own. The Treasury has a trillion dollars available already to buy up bad mortgages, and the SEC has the power to fix the market regulations freezing liquidity.

This is McCain’s opportunity.
He called for Cox to be fired and was criticized for it.
But I think he was right, actually.
And he can take it further.
He needs to come out and accuse the Bush administration of fear mongering, declare the bailout a scam and the crisis as manufactured.
It would instantly make him a hero to both conservatives and liberals alike, and end this election.

John McCain hasn’t figured it out yet. Too bad. You would have made at least a mediocre president John. As it is, you will be remembered as the guy who lost to the worst president in history.

Congressional inaction has put every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk.

that wasn't Congressional inaction Senator. That was overwhelming negative constituent reaction for trying to ram such a socialist plan down the people's throats.

Yesterday the country and the world looked to Washington for leadership, and Congress once again came up empty-handed.

Yesterday and ,several days preceding, the people saw no leadership to let the free market eliminate those who made bad business decisions and took it upon themselves to protect the populace from socialists like you Senator.

I am disappointed at the lack of resolve and bipartisan good will among members of both parties to fix this problem.

Ah yes, Nancy Pelosi's favorite socialist code word for more incremental socialism.

Bipartisanship is a tough thing; never more so when you're trying to take necessary but publicly unpopular action.

It's tough when you ignore the will of the people Senator.

Rush Limbaugh said it today...bipartisanship is easy, as all one has to do is sacrifice one’s principles to those of his opponent. Standing on your principles in the face of opposition is hard.

Why didn’t the Administration, Bush and Paulson, act when they had the authority? Why the chicken little?

Is this the so-called October surprise to elect Obama and keep the House/Senate in Dem Control?

Why did Bush pick Paulson from Goldman Sachs who was endorsed by Schumer for Treasurer? Why didn’t he say someting when Paulson hired two Obama supporters as he two top assistants?

Why did Bush back Paulson/Obama/Dems at the meeting which he agreed to ONLY have Sen McCain called him. Why did Paulson give the House GOP plan they gave him to Obama and then Obama took over the meeting like the President and started saying it was his plan and that is when Minority Leader Boehner became unglued?

Why has Bush ONLY listened to Paulson and the Dems?

WHY? WHY? WHY?

IMO this was the ‘October’ surprise to get Obama elected and the Dems to keep the House and Senate. Spoke volumes that there was no whipping by the House Dem Whip to get people to vote for this. I believe it was a set-up pure and simple and I also am not sure that Bush wants McCain to win. In fact, if I was betting on that right now I would bet against it. Bush’s actions with the Dems speak volumes.

It is a great ad. Any way to make it 30 seconds so that you can run it twice as often?

I see Johnny Mac is still supporting massive government intervention. Even though most Americans said no to the $700 billion bailout. Most House Republicans got the word. McCain is out of touch.

Hey JohnnyMac, I’m tired of the bipartisan crap, cut it out. Nothing but total victory for me, for conservatives, then investigation, prosecution, conviction, sentencing and then serving their time. Let’s get-r-done for once.

I’m not part of your bipartisan team, I’m stictly a partisan, I’m for our side and no other, got it sir?

Anything else is LOSING and APPEASING, Americans don’t like losers. I’m American.

After McCain loses this election, all those running for election in the future can look at this election and know exactly WHAT NOT TO DO, then they will have a better chance of winning. McCain's campaign is a self inflect wound that has festered and his foot is rotting off.

If McCain really wants to take action, he ought to “reach across the aisle” and choke the living snot out of those pretentious little pukes who would hold the county hostage to their political ambitions. “Bipartisanship” only works when both sides have a common interest. The Democrats are not interested in solving anything but their lust for power. Kick their scrawny butts and then come back and ask for my vote.

John McCain said:I call on everyone in Washington to come together in a bipartisan way to address this crisis. I know that many of the solutions to this problem may be unpopular, but the dire consequences of inaction will be far more damaging to the economic security of American families and the fault will be all ours.

Here's the problem: The Dems loaded up the first bail out bill with all sorts of goodies. That was the one McCain left the campaign trail to work on.

If I wanted "bi-partisan" and big fat bills full of pork, I'd vote for Democrats.

What I want, and what our country needs, is Conservative Leadership.

“Sonic Corporation, a drive-in restaurant chain based in Oklahoma, learned on Thursday that one of its lenders, GE Capital, had stopped extending new loans to the chain’s franchisees. That will block plans to rebuild restaurants, add equipment and open new locations.”


OMG! NO SONIC BURGERS!!!

But inaction is not an option

Actually it's the best option.

If we do nothing, many businesses may fail.

Oh well. Business fail all the time. Where does the Constitution authorize the Federal Government to prop up failing businesses?

In Wisconsin, more than 100 Milwaukee Area Technical College students couldn't access private loans to fund their education.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I can't find the word 'education' in the Constitution a single time.

Sonic Corporation, a drive-in restaurant chain based in Oklahoma, learned on Thursday that one of its lenders, GE Capital, had stopped extending new loans to the chain's franchisees. That will block plans to rebuild restaurants, add equipment and open new locations.

And the fact that a burger joint can't get a loan is now a Federal issue?

I know that many of the solutions to this problem may be unpopular,

Your damn right they are. They're not only unpopular, they're un-Constitutional on their face.

If it weren't for the fact that Obama is orders of magnitude worse than McCain an email like this would cement my decision to sit this election out.

We are in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes. Congressional inaction has put every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk.
