Now people IF we can just get these people on Wall Street to NOT be greedy (we can trust them on this), we can stick with Trickle Down and run the debt up another 10 TRILLION or so.. no big deal!! LOL How stupid do you have to be to buy THAT LINE??

What''''s the difference between Carly Fiorina and Phil Gramm?

Phil Gramm attacked Americans, and despite a public rebuke, remains close to the candidate and the campaign.

Carly Fiorina attacked John McCain, and has now been quietly banished from the campaign by a furious John McCain.

Moral of the story: McCain First.

KATIE, please ask Palin how she can demand BOTH "complete overhaul" of "regulatory system," AND
"...get government out of private sector progress." That''s the contradictory blather she emitted yesterday. If not "government," WHO regulates the lending/mortgage/insurance industries?

McCain quote:


"I don%u2019t understand how the economy works, I%u2019ve got to get a V.P. that will show me how it works."

Palin, McCain''s V.P. choice, simply doesn''t fill the hole in McCain''s admitted economic "bucket".

Hate say I told you so.

This is the death of the Republicans policy of deregulation.

It''s too bad that it has taken such an economic bloodbath to finally collapse the Repubs "house of cards."

All the best to everybody as we weather the storm.

Bailing out is not the same as regulating. What got us into this mess was regulations such as the "Community Reinvestment Act" which fairly much legally blackmailed financial institutions to make substandard loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ran amok while under the "control" of congress. In 2005 a bill to put them under the control of a separate government entity, because they were reckless in their policies and practices and posing a threat to the economy, was quashed by some very powerful Congessmen and Senators. It isn''t so much whether there is regulation that ensures safe practices, it is the type of regulation.

NOW JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN WANTS US TO SUBSIDIZE THE FAILURES OF THE LAST 8 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPHY?

Gotta love McCain.

He has fought tooth and nail to deregulate the financial market. Yesterday, he says the government must stop bailing out these companies. Today, he says the bailout of AIG is the right thing to do.

McCain''s record speaks for itself. Look at his deregulation legislation. He has championed this his entire political career. Suddenly, in September 2008, he claims he''s fought against this his entire life.

Someone get a Bible and force McCain and Palin to take an oath. Maybe then they will start telling the truth.

John McCain will just continue the destructive ways of Bush. This is Americas chance to be welcomed back into the international community if they choose Barrack Obama as their leader. If Americans are dumb enough to vote for Bush then America will be shunned by many nations. Vote for Change Vote for Obama
