		<description>McCain would not even know where to purchase a clue as to what can be done to solve the financial disaster that is brewing and stewing on Wall Street. He is actually the one who is completely out of touch with the concerns of the average voter. He is the elitist, living a sheltered life in seven homes; wining and dining with those with the dough to affect how we all live.

Everyone will suffer if this clown becomes president- and God forbid he dies before his term is up because Palin is even worse. SplendidMarbles</description>

		<description>I feel sorry for McCain he&#039;s had to deal with the idiot&#039;s failure.  The republican party is headed for dead end sudden stop.  They are NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL as a party.  

As for the mess the idiot has put us all into.  It&#039;ll take some time for this country regain it&#039;s footing.  I just want him to fall so hard to the ground his teeth will be scattered all over the White House.  

The entire world wishes Bush death.  So much hatred contained in everyone&#039;s hearts and minds.  I can&#039;t wait to see this idiot pay for all his crimes.  Any member of the Bush family should be banned from setting foot in the White House ever again!</description>

		<description>An example of John&#039;s good friend, Henry Paulson...

&lt;strong&gt;A Concrete Example of the Danger Inherent in the Bush Administration&#039;s Proposed Bailout of the Wall Street Banksters...&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Under the proposed bailout legislation (according to Henry Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury), the US Treasury or agents thereof could acquire Microsoft for one US dollar, with no legal recourse for Microsoft or even its shareholders.

		<description>The stench coming out of Washington is not to be believed and here is just one of a million credible reasons as to why this bail out for the rich and infamous should not take place under duress and time constraints.
First, the media incorrectly is labeling WaMu as a sub prime lender which is not true. WaMu was the Alt-A monster and those loans are worse then subprime because of the high LTV, no documetation features, and high loan amounts. Citi and Indy Mac were also big in Alt-A.
What is really interesting is that the Federal Reserve protection seeking JP Morgan found all the necessary liquidity to buy even more troubled WaMu. How is that for bail out? I thought they all had trouble with liquidity.... that is until they see a deal...
Add to the above fact that JP Morgan coughed up 138 billion 2 hours before Leahman Brothers had their bankruptcy filing time stamped by the court. The American people should be demanding that NO DEAL be signed off on until we the people know exactly how much money the remaining banks have on hand after a full and complete audit by the Comptroller of the Currency which is further verified by an independent accounting firm.

Again I ask, what is the bloody rush to get this completed by this weekend before the markets open? did we not hear the same cry last weekend? We&#039;re still here aren&#039;t we?
Well, I can answer that question. At 12:00 midnight Tuesday the 30th, the fiscal year ends and if the funds are not in place to cover the Federal Reserve and other entities, the Federal Reserve will no longer exist because as of this moment, they are bankrupt. But then miracles of miracles big daddy JP Morgan keeps coughing up billions for buyouts?
The American tax payer rightly demands answers before one thin dime of our current tax dollars and those well into the next century are paid. If that means that the Federal Reserve no longer exist that&#039;s fine with plenty of us because the only thing this private banking cartel has done in its nearly 100 year existence has been to act like a parasite sucking the life blood out of us and in turn our once great country.
Keep writing, faxing, calling or any other method used to communicate with your Senators and Representatives, but at all cost, keep the pressure up and never give up. If our founders had, we probably would be ruled today by a King. The present occupant of the White House might think he is, but I have a funny feeling we the people aren&#039;t ready for that nonsense.
Keep writing and calling. Make it clear that those who vote for this massive bailout on our backs will not have to worry about returning to their government jobs next year. Enough is enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;nickrhoward Says:

texaslady, I kind of wish it were only selfishness because most of these folks vote against their own economic interests all the time. And many that I know that vote only Republican(I know some that won’t vote in primaries because they won’t vote against any Republican) aren’t selfish people. They’re the kind of people that, if they run upon a stranded motorist, would either fix the car for the motorist or take them to get help and refuse all payment. Assuming the motorist wasn’t a minority or somehow else easily identified as a Democrat. Their disdain for the minorities is small compared to their hatred of Democrats and devotion to the GOP. How else can one explain how, this year after incredible misrule by Republicans, by percentage more Republicans say they will vote Republican than Democrats say they will vote for Democrats?&lt;/em&gt;

A combination of being brainwashed and being stupid will do that to a person. I remember a conversation with a hard-core Bush supporter during the 2004 campaign who was going on and on about Bush and dissing Kerry.  So I asked her why she supported Bush, what had he done for HER?  The look on her face was priceless.  She literally said, &quot;well, you know, I&#039;ve never really thought about that.&quot;</description>

		<description>A Patriot Acting Says
September 26th, 2008 at 1:18 pm 

Looks like which ever way Johnny swings he stands to lose votes and gain none
_____________________________________________________________

It&#039;s true that Johnny isn&#039;t going to gain any votes no matter how he polishes this turd.  But he won&#039;t lose too many, either.  He&#039;s already down to the people who will always vote for the Republican over the Democrat, even if the GOP ran a three-toed sloth as a candidate.

What he needs to worry about is how many people have registered to vote this year just so they can vote for Obama.  AND those people aren&#039;t being reflected in the polls.</description>

And many that I know that vote only Republican(I know some that won&#039;t vote in primaries because they won&#039;t vote against &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; Republican) aren&#039;t selfish people. They&#039;re the kind of people that, if they run upon a stranded motorist, would either fix the car for the motorist or take them to get help and refuse all payment. Assuming the motorist wasn&#039;t a minority or somehow else easily identified as a Democrat. Their disdain for the minorities is small compared to their hatred of Democrats and devotion to the GOP. How else can one explain how, this year after incredible misrule by Republicans, by percentage more Republicans say they will vote Republican than Democrats say they will vote for Democrats?</description>

		<description>The House GOP faction stunned the participants at the meeting yesterday by announcing their own plan which “advocates tax cuts and relaxed regulations.”
____________________________________________________________

Lemme guess -- these &quot;tax cuts&quot; would only benefit the rich; that is, the people who have already benefitted from the policies that have caused this meltdown in the first place?

How very Republican of them.</description>

		<description>I guess McSenile is holding out on his masterplan for dramatic effect:

&quot;My experience on the Senate Commerce Committee means that I  know how to fix this economy.&quot; -John Sydney McCain
&quot;I understand the economy. I was chairman of the Commerce Committee that oversights every part of our economy,&quot; -John Sydney McCain

It&#039;s pretty simple, really:

Say you support regulation/oversight/stripping of golden parachutes = piss off the base (votes lost)

or

Say you support less regulation and more tax cuts for corporations = piss off Independents/undecideds (votes lost)

Looks like which ever way Johnny swings he stands to lose votes and gain none</description>

		<description>It is obvious that McCain trip to Washington was a show and a hollow one,because he sat in the White House without proposing or suggesting anything.
Now he is coming back to debate Obama tonight,after claiming that he suspended his campaign,without adding anything to the issue over the current crisis in Wall Street.
So, why did McCain go to Washington D.C. to begin with?!
Tonight we will find out,if we can, why did he go to Washington.
I don&#039;t have much faith in what McCain has to say tonight if he thinks that earmarks is the cause of this financial problem we are in now.
The total earmarks is no more than 8 billion dollars,and it is not in anyway related to what we are witnessing today in the credit,housing and banking markets.</description>

		<description>“Studiously not taken a position” is such a 20th Century thing to say.  In the 21st Century we say “The obstructionist doesn’t have an f’ing clue”.

When you ask a Republican what year it is, how long does it take them to answer??</description>

		<description>Nick - It is all about Obama is going to raise my taxes for repubs that I know.  They care nothing about more war, more economy woes, just how it affects them.  Does totally selfish come to mind anyone ?</description>

		<description>Judging from the Republicans I know there is virtually nothing McCain could do to cause him to lose any support. Yes, they really are that brainwashed. We can hope for better from the independents but I&#039;m not that hopeful-remember these are the people who, by and large, don&#039;t think there&#039;s any difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. I&#039;m thinking the state of the race is right where it will stay no matter what happens. No wait, that&#039;s wrong; Obama can lose support if the media continues to carry water for him by pretending that he suspended his campaign and begins to pretend that McCain was the only guy looking out for the people with regard to the bailout. It would be a mistake to think that the media will stop trying to help McCain just because he&#039;s treating them with so much contempt and insults.</description>

		<description>Mccain&#039;s weird message before he left &quot;in a rush&quot; about no one should base their election vote on the way he would vote on this Bill was the most confusing speech I have ever heard from him.  Guess it mean&#039;t vote for me even tho I want to bail out WallStreet.   Either he has lost it or he has the worse advisors ever.</description>
