“No, McCain didn’t have to do this.”
He’d have gained a lot of traction in the polls if he’d opposed this. Almost everyone opposes this bill. Lots of libs do, lots of moderates do, and a heck of a lot of conservatives do. He could have won a lot of swing voters by fighting this.
NO, everyone does NOT oppose this. Have you been keeping up with the polls the last week?
Yes, last week it was 70-80% opposed. After the 777 drop on Monday, it was only 34% opposed. The rest were for it or undecided.
And it doesn’t matter what we think in polls anyway. We have a representative democracy, right?
So trash McCain and help Obama. The world isn’t fair nor perfect. Gotta do the best you can.
If McCain had voted against this, he would definitely be done in the election. The MSM and Obama would be running ads saying McCain is against saving the economy.
Since both McCain and Obama voted for this, it neutralizes the issue politically. Now McCain has got to get his message out who caused this.
Less than 5 weeks folks. And we are still in for a slew of bad economic news between now and November.
