from Digby this morning:
What surprises me is that people are surprised. Have they not been paying attention? The Republicans started a war for no good reason. They literally killed a whole lot of people for their own political and ideological agenda. Why in the world would anyone doubt for a moment that they'd play politics with an economic crisis?
In this case the House repubs took a step away from Bush Co's attempt at further facism, an attempt wholeheartedly embraced by Congressional dems with a few socilaist touches to make it just right.
This current bailout (rescue my arse) plan, in whatever modified form, must not pass. One because it is poorly conceived and will not work. Two, and most importantly, because taxpayer sentiment is clearly against the bailout plan.

Incredibly, McCain has said that he hasn't read the Treasury plan--all three pages of it. Since this crisis began ten days ago, nothing McCain has done, from declaring the economy strong to calling for the illegal firing of Chris Cox to flailing about the bailout to shrilly trying to blame the crisis on Obama and finally to the debate-canceling gambit has been reassuring about the prospect of a McCain presidency.
This is the 3 AM phone call and McCain is blowing it.

Isn't this exactly a fitting end to this idiot George Bush. It seems prior to being president George Bush ran into the ground any business in which he was a participant and then he walked away unscathed. Here we are again, near the end of his term as president and look what is happening, the economy is tanking and he is almost out the door.
No Democrat or Republican wants to take sole ownership of this mess at this time. To this end I applaud Nancy Pelosi saying the bailout will be bipartisan or no deal. Let's see if she can stick to her guns.
John McCain is a spoiler in all of this. He doesn't understand economics and is receiving advice from some of the very people that created this mess, ie Phil Gramm.
How can anyone want to vote Republican?

I visited a non-political website this morning (where people end up starting many threads about politics, of course) and several members are lauding McCain for stopping the "wall street welfare"
It's unsettling. True, they are idiots, but so is a lot of the country.

The Congressional dems made a mistake running around like little sissy bitches in a hissy fit throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars around thinking that they can solve this systemic problem in a week when they could not get out of Iraq in 2 years.
We just need to admit, the current democratic Congressional leadership (Reid, Pelosi and Emmanuel, not Obama) is ill equipped to govern effectively and needs to be replaced by better dems.

It's like that classic Peanuts cartoon (and yes, I am old and remember Peanuts) where Charlie Brown goes to kick the football and Lucy pulls it away every time. Reid and Pelosi have that antiquated notion that somehow, someway they can work with these people, just like they did in the good old days.

If Pelosi caves and the Congressional dems (including Obama) pass this bailout/giveaway plan without repubs joining in not only does McCain win the White House, every Congressional seat where a member voted yes for the bailout is up for grabs, all imho.

Face it, McCain and company can't govern and the events of the last few hours proves it!
A vote for the republicans is like voting for a third tier candidate... it a wasted vote!
For the last two years republicans have been little more than obstructionist!
And at this point in time obstructionist are not needed or wanted... thus the fewer republican obstructionist who find there way into the next congress the better!

Folks, this scares me. I am not one for conspiracy plots but this smacks of planning from the beginning by the repugs for a win. McCain comes in and derails the vote and makes it appear it is the responsibility of the dems that this bail out has happened. The middle class does not understand nor do they want it to happen....so he becomes the champion against the bailout! Hope I am wrong!

You are not wrong. I knew it was a farce as soon as I heard the date he wanted the debate rescheduled to. I knew when he played the "who's the leader" game with Obama regarding a joint statement on the bailout which turned into his photo op. He is screwing with our lives, and I am scared to death what will happen if he wins. His health will not allow him to serve out a term and Palin actually scares me at almost the same level if not a bit more than Cheney, which says a lot. I'm going to try to call the Canadian Consulate about getting dual citizenship off my Grandfather's citizenship there. I need an escape plan.

It's a trap. Obama needs to walk away from the table. The GOP is playing this as "we want Wall Street to pay for this, the Dems want the taxpayer to pay for this-- GOP=Maverick, DNC=Bush Bailout. They are recasting their party. The Dems need to remind the American public that this is the party that sent Colin Powell to the UN filled with lies. They are now doing this with the economy. And it will work. It's the people stupid. Obama absolutely must come up with a plan that protects the homeowner and taxpayer and allows Wall Street to collapse, exposing the secrets and under the carpet finances the GOP does not want the people to see. Let it come to light, let the markets go, protect the people as best we can. We need accountability. Protect the people as best we can.... directly, not through Wall Street.

In trying to understand what the hell is really happening I came across this article on TPM. I am still confused. Seems economists have varying degrees of if we need a bailout. If the GD economists cannot agree on what to do then how the hell can the Congress make an informed decision?
It just seems to me there are two different sides to this bailout and the American taxpayer is in the middle being torn to shreds by both sides.
My concern is that there doesn't seem to be anything in there saying that those who are bailed out by this plan must put the money back into the market. Some have stated there is a chance those bailouts could hoard the cash or put it in the treasury (I think treasury is what they said) which would mean nothing would change overall. Credit would still be tight and Americans still would fail.
I also heard on CPSAN during the negotiations a member pleading with the chairman to come clean with the Americans about what has been happening for a very long time so that we could understand th brevity of the situation and how dire our future looks.

We should consider ourselves lucky to have a selfless apolitical financial economic guru like John McCain to save the day for us. And if Sarah Palin hadn't undergone a witchorcism at the hands of a evangelical voodoo doctor, that sneaky old warlock Vladimir Putin would have already invaded Alaska after casting a spell to neutralize the strategic military and tactical genius of the Alaskan National Guard's vigilant commander-in-chief. With John McCain's liver-spotted hands in our nation's treasury protecting our economy from collapsing, and with Sarah Palin protecting our country from being invaded by personally patrolling our borders with a double barrelled shotgun, what do we have to worry about?
