McCain to Wall Street: Drop Dead?

His creditability

Gee; just a few days ago, in infinite wisdom, he thought the economy was fundamently strong. So much for his economic creditabilty.

Protecting taxpayers

McCain's win-win role in this is to go with his other main strength as a spending hawk. If he gets good protections for taxpayers in this to keep the cost in line and get some real oversight over Darth Paulson's plan, he'll have performed a near miracle.

Enough of McCain's dishonorable campaign

McCain has made it crystal clear that he is addicted to gambling. His risky and unwise choice of Sarah Palin, his lies, and now his latest gimmick have shown that McCain has only one goal: The White House.

We need our nation back from the reckless GOP.

Makes no sense for McCain

It makes no sense for McCain to oppose the bill when he has already suspended his campaign in order to "solve the crisis." Flipping now will only make him look more reckless.

When a bailout bill is hammered out with leadership, Reid and Pelosi should refuse to even bring it to a vote until 80% of Republicans in both houses have publicly signed on. Democrats must not do corporate welfare while Republicans skate away singing some free market, deregulation tune with Limbaugh.

As for McCain, he WOULD prostitute himself to anything to win.

Palin is the first example of his reckless decisions.

The cancer-any-minute guy would give us Sarah to lead the free world? He is John First, not Country First.
