So today, Obama gives a speech lambasting McCain's mortgage plan. His beef isn't that homeowners are being helped, but that taxpayers are being harmed. In other words, Obama scores points by saying McCain isn't doing the mortgage abrogation properly, not that he really objects to it. In fact, he had spoken of something like this some time ago. As a Marxist, he believes that people with no money own the houses they live in, and the banks who gave them the loans have no real claim to repossess them.
I'm for McCain, but only in a hold-my-nose to vote way. He's a patriot, no doubt, and he says he wants to cut spending, but here's $300 billion he just tosses out in a debate. Not an economic giant. Arrrggh.
“When McCain dropped the mortgage repurchase bomb at the debate, I muttered “panderfest” and went to another part of the house. It is something I expected from Obama.”
I wanted to throw my remote at the TV. We have a liberal and a flaming liberal as our two choices. Either way America loses (of course in one case the loss is much worse).
mccain will still balance the budget and cut taxes (and not raise them on other people)
