Skullfuck McCain!
The rePIGs are criminals. Who in the hell knows what's going to happen - can't discount the whore Press - or the spineless Dems - or God forbid, another false flag. The transparency couldn't be any more transparent - but, like Alice and the silver spoon, we are adrift in a sea of Mother Goose.
For the details, see:
"McCain's M.O. - Our Pain, His Gain."
1.bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran
2. Gorilla rape jokes
3. Janet Reno/Clinton joke
4. Picking Palin
5. Not debating
6. Souring the negotiations
7.Having a Birthday Party while thousands drown
8. Picking Palin
9. Picking Palin
10. Picking Palin
But seriously, I certainly hope not too Karol but I do think there is a good chance the dems will cave and pass this without the republicans.

That crossed eyed Republican analyst, Ron Christy, isn't looking too good, by the way. But, then again, neither is John McCain. McCain looks SICK. That make-up artist isn't helping.
The Republicans are back to dirty tricks instead of issues.
Oh, now President Bu$h is bragging about all the good work he has done by ignoring Afghanistan and shoving the Iraq War down our throats. He has Karzei on playing politics and trying to act like the Bu$h Administration is on top of things, when they aren't. I've noticed Bu$hco. is desperate to catch O$ama bin Laden after SEVEN years of ignoring him to score Presidential campaign points with the undecided sheep.
Democrats and Obama need to neutralize the "catch Osama in October" campaign stunt, and remind voters Osama is still free, and they welcome the Bu$h Administration catching him before the Presidential election but it would have been nice if the man who masterminded 9-11 had been caught "dead or alive" by now.
(appologies to Forrest Gump).
McCain has been awful in this. It has nothing in "killing" the deal, (The deal will be done sooner than later) but being opaque and flaky, when he has to be very clear and resolute. He didn't say much at the meeting at the White House yesterday, and if he wanted to show leadership, he would had boxed Boehner on the head, and tell him to line up the votes. McCain doesn't much influence with the House Republicans.
McCain also has stated at all his position on what to do with this crisis. That is to me his biggest crime by far.
Is this how McCain is going to try to run the country if he is President? The man isn't just Mc$ame but he is McIn$ane.
It's baloney, of course, but I think that is the strategy: Maverick makes Wall Street lackeys eat dust. Friend of the common man McCain saves Main Street.
You know, that kind of crap. Obama will still wipe the floor with him, in that statesmanlike way of his, of course, but with a firmness, steadiness, and resolve - and with knowledge and actual facts.
The only votes McCain can get at this point, besides crazy fundies, crazy neocons, crazy racists, and crazy cougars, are crazy sympathy votes.
Yeah, right. That's the reason they've passed so many bills in the 110th Congress. Lying liers and obstructionist assholes. I really, really hope that we get Obama in and a super-majority so things can start to change.
I think the bailout as it stands stinks, but it's funny that serial liars Barney Frank and Harry Reid both claimed McCain came to DC and didn't say or do a thing. Which is it?
Did McCain ruin the bailout or did he do absolutely nothing as the Two Stooges Frank & Reid attest? And for a quick look back on who is responsible for allowing the FanFed DNC ATM to implode:
Here's the lead of a New York Times story on Sept. 11, 2003: 'The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.'
'These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,' said Rep. Barney Frank, then ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. 'The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.'
Yeah, Barney, you were wrong then and you're covering your tracks now.
That will be the Rethug talking point on every cable show.
Please give me a frigging break. McCain is such a phony a-hole.
The failure of the House Republicans to agree to the Democratic bail-out plan is based on two points: transparency of the loans and allowing judges to reset mortgage rates in bankruptcy cases. The financial company lobbyists were swarming over Capitol Hill as soon as a "bail-out" was announced to ensure the latter wouldn't be included.
The House Republicans will pretend that they are "protecting" Main Street against the follies of a rapacious Wall Street. Democrats can counter that by asking them where they have been for the past 10-20 years when all the deregulation was going into effect.
As statedin the article, the Democrats in the House can send a bill to the Senate without any Republican votes and that is where the dangers for the Republicans lie: if they oppose a bail-out that does stem an economic meltdown, they'll lose big at the polls in six weeks. If they get on board after all this huffing and puffing and the bail-out works, they are flip-floppers.
Their only hope for political survival is that the Democrats push their plan through Congress and the economy still tanks. And more and more, that is what it appears that McCain is hoping for. Now that is really "Country First".
