Rant rant

One thing is for sure... The Republican party is all for less regulation, and less government in our lives!!

Well except for the fact that Republican icons and leaders such as their speaker of the house, John McCain, and George B. want, and PUSHED for a 700B$ GOVERNMENT bailout of Wall Street.

So are they still republicans?
What does that word mean anymore?

Well it was lol-worthy to see Romney on tv this morning saying without John McCain this bill would not have been taken to the floor, and hours later, the bill fails thanks to 64 percent of the republicans voting NAY. The implication that the bill was brought to the floor thanks to McCain ushering it in was stupid in itself considering he criticized Obama for "phoning his opinion in" when he did the same thing for the passed 3 days. Regardless, the bill failed, and McCain better run far far away from it and claim to scuttle it.



Oh and why did the bill die? Well according to the Republican speaker of the house... it was all thanks to NANCY PELOSI and a partisan speech she gave before they took their votes. What did she say? Well she said it was unfortunate that the right wing ideas of less regulation might have aided in wall streets demise. So you were going to vote FOR the bill until somebody hurt your feelings, so you'll vote nay and let the whole country suffer? I'm not sure how much truth that has to it, or if the republicans are looking for someone to blame.... I don't think there is a good reason for this to have happened when republican "leadership" should have been being the leaders they are and ushering a majority vote. The democrats delivered and they're still to blame for why the bill died.

STRANGE

not ot mention another person to blame is Barack Obama... for politicizing the whole issue.

Right.

Because making a photo op out of it, and conjuring up a few new slick and cool campaign one-liners from it (like McCain did) was completely admirable.
