Did anyone see Hannity and Colmes tonight?
According to Gingrich and Dick Morris, McCain has killed the Paulson bailout and will present an alternate version, which will require the government to lend, not give the money, and regulations will be reformed and taxes will be loosened to help them pay us back.
Both Gingrich and Morris were giddy. They both said McCain has shown that he will stand up to anyone—including the president—to fight for the country, and he’s changed the argument: Now, the Dems support giving a trillion dollars to the Wall Street “fat cats,” as they called them over and over, but McCain has refused, in the name of the taxpayer.
McCain has used their own words against them! If they’re worthless fat cats, which do you want to give them a trillion dollars, eh? Eh?
Both Gingrich and Morris said that McCain had utterly and totally pwned the Dems, who will be forced to support McCain’s plan.
McCain will then go to the public and explain that Obama supported handing a trillion dollars of their hard-earned money over to crooks, but McCain supported an alternative, despite immense pressure from the president and the Department of the Treasury.
As a bonus, McCain stood up for the conservative wing of the party, not the moderates, as everyone expected him to do. Both Gingrich and Morris said McCain has totally won the argument.
Let’s hope it all pans out this way.
Morris said that he’s never seen anything like this: McCain, the man of principle, united with the most effective campaigners in the history of American politics.
He was as excited and happy as I’ve ever seen him.
Both Gingrich and Morris predict total victory for McCain on this topic.
Well I certainly hope McCain blasts it from the rooftops that the Paulson plan was going to give billions of dollars to ACORN!!!!!!!!!!!! Arggggh!!!!! I am furious over this! I want heads to roll!!!!!!!!!!!! This was nothing less than an attempted coup-de-tat.
God has always given America the right leader at it’s most critical moments. Tonight I think we have seen God gave America John McCain.
He had my vote all along, but now he has it with 100% confidence.
Anyway I think it could turn out to be a masterful play by McCain....but risky. And yet the times call for a risk taking President.
