I have been thinking that has to be what’s going on. Like many on FR I am really disheartened by the way this whole thing has unfolded. I do think McCain has missed a golden opportunity to both render a blow to big government and Obama’s campaign, if he would have come out against the bailout and led the charge for some sort of market-based solution.
Now, the fact that he didn’t tells me either he is a complete dufus or he knows something I don’t know about the gravity of the situation. (Personally, I feel that our leaders have been informed of the likelihood of a major terrorist attack either in the US or in Europe in the next few weeks. But this is no more than a hunch). But even if that isn’t the case, I am willing to give McCain the benefit of the doubt that he feels this bailout absolutely had to happen or our economy was about to implode. Or (as some have said) that this bailout would at least keep us afloat to get past the election, so that real measures could even be attempted.
Last thought. My take on the Senate’s version... I think the dems loaded it up with all these earmarks and just dared McCain to vote “NO”.
I pray he knows what he’s doing.
BTW - I live in Oakland County, MI and I’m not giving up on this state yet. Too much can happen and there are alot of fed up people here that are as angry at Granholm as they are at the Bush admin.
I have to stand in total agreement with you....no person in their right mind would pass this drivel unless they knew something...now, i know the bush family is a one world government family, but george has not actually endagered the country yet, although he does lean a little left..so there is something we are not being told
I’m in Macomb. I can’t tell you the amount of people I see with McCain t-shirts, and yardsigns. Walk into Walmart and you’ll see McCain everywhere.
I’m with you.
