"Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp ...."
McCain: Hey I know, I'll be the Bi-Partisan Maverick and get this bill through Congress, that's what the people want, then they'll love me....

Fox just interviewed Stanley Kurtz. Kurtz claimed a documented, direct link between Obama's training ACORN criminals and the mortgage disaster as ACORN was the largest gang in forcing the banks to make the bad loans. Obama was ACORN's principal trainer in Illinois.
My question: where is McCain? He could run ads proving this link and destroy Obama's candidacy. He isn't.
The trillion dollar question.
Bush never stood up for himself, why should McCain?
Actually ads won’t do it. McCain will have to do it. I thought he had the grit but maybe not.
“He could run ads proving this link and destroy Obama’s candidacy.”
AMEN!
He also needs to TALK about it on the campaign trail.
Or at least 700 billion. But whats 300 billion or so between friends right?
This explains why The One is staying far away from this dirty diaper.
You´re right.
McCain is a passive canidate, he isn´t a dog attack.
In the first debate he doesn´t answer the Obama´s lies in the economy. That´s the problem with McCain.
Nevermind McCain.. what the HELL IS BUSH THINKING??????????
WHY IS HE FOR THIS P.O.S.?????
Doubt you see McCain on this...to bad cause it will cost him the election.
He could run that UTube that Rush played yesterday where the Republicans were trying to get regulation of this stuff and all the Democrats could say was it was a high tech lynching of Franlinn Raines...
It is really sad to see Barack Obama win the election on this issue which the American people do not seem to understand and McCain does nothing to point it out either. I hope we never get another maverick, just a conservative who lays it out there.
if mccain wants to be president,
why doesn’t he hit obamao
hard with this?
Obama was ACORN’s Jackie Chiles.
He was talking about the goon squads going directly into banks protesting and intimidating the bank managers AND showing up at their homes!
This is what America has to look forward to if O is elected!

My question is why Bush is kneecapping McCain and the other GOPer’s?
He's too busy talking about being a Maverick...
I wouldn’t expect a lot of dazzle from the McCain campaign for the next month or so.
It doesn’t have a clue...and I’m voting for Mr. McCain.
This reminds me of Bob Dole’s failure to hit Clinton hard. Back then, I assumed Clinton had something with which to hit back and Dole knew it.
What might 0bama have on McCain?
Look closely at the posters.
This would have been the next bailout.
IF this story can be LOCKED IN PLACE
OBAMA IS THE LAWYER WHO SET UP THE FANNIE AND FREDDIE FIASCO COSTING TAXPAYERS BILLIONS, then we might have something.
of course the MSM will blame the SUV.
I keep thinking to myself over and over when will the ads about Obama delaying the troop pullout until after the election (illegal), Obama’s ties with Rezko and Bill Ayers coming to light, and when his remarks regarding Infanticide will be used against him. Those three alone should have huge impact and aren’t being used. I would run them over and over to reiterate it to the sheeple. Then again, maybe they are saving the best for last (two weeks)?!?!
maybe McCain will sharpen the talons after a deal is reached on the bailout.
Maybe.
McCain is losing votes for being a wus.
I think he’s waiting for the next debate which is on the economy. He cleaned Obama’s clock on the foreign policy debate. That first Friday night debate had low ratings. I believe McCain is waiting for round two which should be seen by a huge audience.
For a while there, I thought McCain was going to smash-mouth these leftist/socialists whenever they mouthed off - because he WAS doing it.
Now this comes along...
McCain is just another less-than-bright, hack politician. He and/or his handlers have already just about neutered Palin. That he would neuter this and other potential advantages is just about par for the course.
So THAT is what a community organizer does.
To paraphrase Senator Dirksen, “A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon it adds up to real money.”
Youtube link?
I don’t understand why the McCain campaign has not make a tv ad connecting ACORN to the finacial crisis and Obama’s connection to ACORN.
Have you caught any of Bush’s explanations for the root causes here? It’s an embarrassment that seems to start and end with housing prices declining.
If their credit sucks, loan them the bucks!
Funny community organizer! huh interesting.
Funny community organizer! huh interesting.
Funny community organizer! huh interesting.
It appears that McCain has already missed the opportunity to get in front of this thing. Too bad, really.
I guess you could call that a partisan attack and since this issue needs to be about “Country First” I doubt we will see McCain blaming anyone.
When the smoke clears McCain will be the winner in this thing because as long as you set your priorities straight and stick to them 99 percent of the time good guys still finish first.
I just heard his speech about the non-passage of the bill. Scared me that he basically said “I don’t care what the people think, this bill WILL be passed.”
OBAMA,ACORN,THE BLACK CAUCUS AND FRANKLIN REIN ALL NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.
I CALL FOR A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF ACORN AND ITS ORGINIZERS. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT ALL SET UP SO OBAMA HAS THE ADVANTAGE!!! DIDNT IT START WITH FANNIE?
McCain/Bush and Republicans in general are saying that now is the time to fix the problem, the time to blame comes later. Problem is the Democrats have already started blaming Republicans. They need to do this now because it will take a lot of work on their part and help from to press to fool the public.
Barrack Obama has been HEAVILY involved with ACORN for a LONG time and ACORN is a Communist front organization!
There is a link, but BO is hardly responsible. He wasn’t even in Congress when the truly damaging legislation was passed. While he supports the Socialist goals of the CRA, he was not a player. The culprits are fairly easy to spot: Chris Dodd (Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs), Paul Sarbanes (former chair of Senate Banking Committee), Phil Gramm (former chair of Senate Banking Committee and author of Gramm-Leach-Bliley), Barney Frank (CRA and guilty on multiple other counts of demogoguery), Jimmy Carter (the Squish-head who was President when CRA was enacted), Clinton (who presided over CRA being made even worse than it already was), the idiots at non-think tanks such as New America who argued that the CRA had nothing to do with excesses in the housing market despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, and EVERYONE, every two-bit, ward-heeling, cheesy congressman and senator who did everything they could to block the reining in of Freddie and Fannie (see Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer). I could continue, but you get the point. There is plenty of blame to go around.
He can't just run with it. He needs to get all of his ducks in row.... legally. He must verify it and then take him down. Trust but verify. If he runs a negative ad and can't make a strong case to back it up, Obama will call one of his press conferences and denounce it as negative campaigning and totally take the wind out. I think it's coming. They are just waiting for the right time to lower the boom.
THEN, he needs to tell the whole nation that as president he will see to it that those people and policies that caused this mess will be investigated and made to pay the price.
Right now all they are talking about is how they have a bill that they know is not great, and then in the next breath they say they need for us to understand how important it is to pass it. They are saying they did not ‘sell’ it right. For me, that is insulting. I don't want to be sold something I know is not good. They need to get this thing right period
Yesterday the people said no. Some are saying the people are trying to effect revenge on Wall Street and the other Fat Cats. Well, maybe to a degree that is true. We know if we don't try to hold the right people accountable no one else will. McCain needs to tell the people that someone WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. No one is telling us that. No one.
If our PRESS CORP does not start BALANCING this...then we are in a pre-NAZI state of DYING our here in the hinterland because our MEDIA is in the tank for Obama....AMERICANS DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT ACORN IS, HOW IT HAS BEEN FUNDED BNY OUR TAX DOLLARS--that would be YOU and ME--because CREEPY democrats have been slipping funding for this group that uses bullying int0 congressional bills for YEARS AND YEARS!!
I say ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!!!Ph my gosh---------I would be willing to BEG the reporterws of the mainstream media to report on this....I am sick in my heart....WE CANNOT HAVE THIS MAN AS PRESIDENT...HE TRAINED ACORN GROUPS AND GOT MUCH OF HIS OWN MUNEY FROM THIS HORRIFIC FORCED MORGAGE GROUP....HE IS PART OF WHY WE ARE IN THIS MESS IN A DIRECT WAY!!
And as if this were not enough.......ACORN even got its dirty slick fingers INTO the bailout bill ( I know--our public outcry got it removed--49 NGOD!) to the TUNE of 20% OF THE PROFITS OF THE 700 billion when the loans begin to break even and pay out.
I am ready to go to WAR with the democrats...I am.I HATE THEIR DISHONESTY AND OWNDERSHIP OF THE PRESS!
They said the first bailout was not signed due to the calls sent in huge numbers against it....
WE NEED TO MAKE CALLS AND ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION ON ACORN AND THE OBAMA CONNECTION!
The ironic thing is, were it not for Congressional Democrats trying to sneak into the bailout bill goodies for Acorn, connecting Obama to Acorn would have little effect.
A week ago, Acorn wouldn't have meant anything to the vast majority of Americans. Those who had heard of it would mostly associate it only with leftist get out the vote efforts--slimy but largely minor players in the overall national picture. Thanks to the congressional Black Caucus efforts to pay off their pals and finance their subversive actions on a breathtakingly brazen scale, that's changed. Obama's significant ties to Acorn are now a major, major deal.
I hear you. The press is a national disgrace. Even the FBI investigation is suspect — they are only going back to 2007.
McCain still has his campaign switched off.
