More evidence that McCain threw the election for Obama.
More evidence that McCain threw the election for Obama.
McCain was handed the winning issue .. and he dropped the ball because of his RINO tendencies.
If McCain had come out strongly against the bailouts, he might have been able to beat Obama.
Like most Freepers, if Palin hadn’t been on the ticket I never would have voted for this clown.
Yep we do...boy do we EVER
I wish this info had come out BEFORE the primaries. McCain isn’t a maverick. He’s a traitor.
In his book, “Decision Points,” out today from Crown, Mr. Bush says his bank bailout proposal was “a breathtaking intervention” and “the last thing I wanted to do,” but defended it, saying “the only way to preserve the free market in the long run was to intervene in the short one.”
Bull Crap. The only way to preserve the leviathan on Wall Street from the debt monster it had created was the bank bailout or TARP. This had nothing to do with preserving the free market, as a matter of fact the net effect due to the misallocation of these funds is the distortion of the free market.
I liked Bush, but at times it was apparent he was in way over his head.
McCain hates this Country his feelings are for the illegal Mexicans not Americans ,he is a POS Traitor and nothing more.
When all is said and done, and thanks to the 2008 election nuclear collider and this book, we now have a little clearer picture of what happens when two RINOtrons collide.
System-wide destruction on a large scale...
Easy. No!
Pretty soon, McCain is going to have to apologize to Benedict Arnold.
Since 1989, McCain has been working against the best interests of America. The Lincoln Savings debacle and the Keating Five showed that this was not McCain’s first time at the financial rodeo.
You may recall Obama’s equally dismal performance at the summit. The old “Call me if you need me” followed by an exit stage left.
McCain was left stuttering like a senior home resident.
McCain;s job in 2008 was to lose to Obama and to destroy the budding Conservative movement in 2008 as a two-fer.
The only one on the ticket who actually believed in McCain was Palin.
Remember in Oct. 2008 when that man in the crowd said that he was angry, and wanted McCain to show some anger? McCain said, and this is proof of his treachery—”We have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency” and “Mr. Obama is a decent man” as he recoiled in horror from the yelling citizen.
The election was lost at that very moment.
The dirty truth about the 2008 election is that whoever the puppetmasters are, they had control of both candidates for President, and they would win either way.
That is another reason the GOP leadership has to go. It was only our fight for the last two years that got them back in power. And if they don’t perform, they are going the way of the Whigs.
And speaking about dirty truths, here’s one about the 2010 election. Had we not won this one big, it would have been the last peaceful election America ever had.
Full Dem control past January 2011 would have plunged this country into a civil war.
Let us pray we, the people, can now avoid that possibility.
We are at the precipice; we stopped the headlong rush over the edge, just in time. If we are not careful, we will still fall over.
Once again, this is no time for the sunshine patriot. there is still heavy lifting ahead.
The only things McKane is good at are getting shot down and pissing off conservatives.
McCain has fumbled his whole life away. He’s not content being miserable himself so he wants to make the whole country miserable.
Too bad this didn’t get brought to light before the republican primary.
WTF??
Probably because of Juan's choice of that loose cannon Conservative from Wasilla who won't play the GOP's reindeer games.
This whole thing was a fiasco when McCain suspended his campaign and rushed to Washington, only to have no plan and no ideas. It made him look volatile, panicky and with no ideas. I think the episode sealed the deal with the voters and eliminated whatever chance he might have had.
That he did. As did Bush
Bush handled the crisis very poorly, thanks to the Democrat (Paulson) he appointed to run Treasury. McCain, on the other hand, was completely clueless.
Well, we all know that McCain was a jerk. The meeting over the financial crisis made it clear to the dullest eye that he didn’t have a clue.
But the real problem was that Paulson was already working with the enemy. He was in close contact with Obama while refusing to answer McCain’s calls. Pelosi and Reid were also in on the deal.
Bush had a bad habit of putting people who were determined to undermine him into top positions—or of leaving clinton appointees there. Tenet. Sessions. Paulson. To name just a few.
If McCain insisted on a meeting, that was dumb. But it was Paulson and Obama who engineered the October Surprise, the suddenly announced banking crisis, that won Obama the election.
McCain is vile - it is all about him.
He wanted to “suspend his campaign” to look like a hero.
His campaign advisors were quoted saying that a terrorist attack would be “a big advantage” for McCain.
If McCain had his way, we would have gone to war with Russia over his pet project, Georgia — all to improve *his* image.
What a sick pathetic little man he is.
