Rats: We would rather send this country into a severe recession than do something which might help McCain show leadership and thus get elected.

After days of intense bipartisan negotiations and meetings today at the White House, the deal to bail out staggered investment banks may be dying amid partisan finger-pointing.
Republicans blame Democrats. Democrats blame Republicans, and a key Democrat even pointed a finger at Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain.
House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told Democratic colleagues that McCain's sudden heightened involvement in the negotiations has destroyed chance of an agreement, sources told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
Frank compared McCain's involvement to "Richard Nixon blowing up the Vietnam peace talks in 1968."

He has a face just perfect for leftism.
Wow. Barney Frank is unbelievable.
Democrats: John McCain killed $700 billion welfare payment to Wall Street Millionaires.

It looks like it’s been disfigured from facesitting.
THANK YOU< JOHN MCCAIN! Thanks, House Republicans!!
Think Barney Fife. What a clown.
Frank has no shame. Unbelievable.
McCain and Obama were elected to be Senators, not run for President. I don’t know why that is such a problem for the rest of them?
If McCain actually does kill this off by pushing conservative demands, I’ll vote for him.
You should have seen Obama on Fox complaining that McCain’s move to put Presidential politics into this issue has put the procedure under a microscope making it harder on Congress to vote on this issue. (In other words, the public is watching so the Dems can no longer sneak this through in the dark of night.)
There is nothing new about your statement.
Of course...blame the Republicans (typical MSM response). Me, I blame Dodd, Franks, and actually, Obama for not coming up with a reasonable compromise.
Actually, the best compromise is to allow these idiot institutions to fail along with their idiot loan borrowers.
I’m sick and tired of these socialist bailouts.
This must be trumpeted loud and clear. Bailout or no, the Dems cannot be allowed to railroad the thing then claim that a failure to reach agreement is McCain’s fault. Barney Frank is, so far, the only one who has “injected presidential politics” into the process. He needs to be “corrected”, as Grady would say.
Firs picking Sarah, now this....GO JOHNNY GO!
That's an insult to Barney Fife.
Have you had a chance to look at the House GOP ideas?
Democrats: John McCain killed $700 billion welfare payment to Wall Street Millionaires.
Well that headline would just about secure the election.
The Democrats are going Boo hoo, he won’t let us have our pork barrelled way bill, big nasty McCain.
What did you think you were going to get this payout bill through without a fight
