I just heard that McCain is on his way to MS for the debate. If that is true, then there must be a solution to the financial crisis.

I do not understand why the dems have accused the repubs of holding up a solution. The dems have a controlling majority, and a President predisposed to sign their bailout bill. Why did they not simply pass it? They did not NEDD any repubs to get this done.
Something was fishy with that.

Even with a majority, you can't just ignore the other side.

As for McCain going, it's more likely he just git called on his bluff, and they don't need him there, so he left.

Maybe it has something to do with passing a bill that the President won't sign is a waste of time?

They probably don't have all the Dems on side.

Seems the problems are solved as McCain has just state that he will go to the debate now. According to a press release, McCain feels both sides are close enough that his help is no longer needed.

Does anyone believe this line of BS? I think McCain just blinked.

I believe everything that the Demopublicans say.

Was he wearing a skin tight blue and red outfit with a bit "S" on the front of it and a cape?

That is true only if you believe that McCain has been acting in good faith.It can be viewed as fishy. Or it can be seen as responsible, bipartisan government, depending on your point of view.

Just heard on TV that Dodd is trying to tie any pay-back to increased spending.

Great idea. Get us nearly a trillion bucks deeper in debt and as we get out of debt, put more debt on us.

Sounds like Dodd works for Fannie Mae.

What spending, exactly? Spending on FM&FM?
But hey, at least the Republicans are trying to attach some capital gains tax cuts for the bastards who put us in this place.

No I mean all the ones who decided to offer loans that they knew people couldn't pay, then packaged them together and added insurance that could never cover the loans if they should default, then call the packages excellent investments. Plus the ones who bought the packages believing that they were essentially free money instead of using their common sense and now want someone else to get squashed by the packages they stupidly bought.

The stupid bastards who bought the houses aren't going to be filing any capital gains. Unless being homeless is some kind of capital gain.

No, the stupid bastards that gave the money to the stupid bastards that bought too big of a house and couldent afford it.

Or how about the stupid bastards that have loosened the regulatory rules
that let the stupid bastards, give the money to the stupid bastards.

By the way, how much is you mortguage payment ?
How secure is your job ?
Are you feeling ill, and maybe need to have an extreamly expensive, bankrupting, hospital stay ?
