Well, as reprehensibile as this is, I would hope McCain would not veto a rescue package over something this stupid.
Addressing the credit markets is urgent. This is the wrong time to make a stand.

You can shut down government for weeks and not have the kind of impact, not addressing the liquidity market will have in a day.

If Congress doesn’t weed this out before it goes to McCain then McCain needs to vote for it and then begin the embarrassment campaign campaign to try to get the earmarks removed.

And yes, I realize that McCain can’t veto anything yet. But y’all know the point I was making.

Yeah, addressing the credit markets is SO URGENT that Senators have obviously spent a lot of time and effort loading their pet projects and agendas into a bill that is too urgent to vote against. Balderdash. It should be shot down and its sponsors told to come back with a clean bill that ONLY addresses urgent issues. If Senators can't take the urgency seriously, why should any of us?

“Addressing the credit markets is urgent.”

Forget the credit market. We’re going to war against the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington.
