If McCain Is Stopping The Bailout For Political Reasons, This is A HUGE Conspiracy.

[malik flavors]

If John McCain has convinced house republicans to pull the plug on this bailout just so that he can get out of tomorrow's debate, this is using politics in the worst way possible, and it's a huge conspiracy.

Obama said that something happened last night and what looked like a possible bi-partisan bill, now looks like it isn't going to happen. If McCain put a stop to it for the sake of his political campaign, he should be exiled.

To put our country at risk just so he has a better chance to win the election is beyond anything I could ever imagins a candidate doing.

I'm starting to think Olbermann was right last night when he said McCain is trying to cancel tomorrows debate and have it in place of the VP debate. He wants to just have 3 presidential debates and completely cancel the VP debate after it's been replaced with what was supposed to be tomorrow's foreign policy debate.

Word is that Palin has been doing horribly with her debate prep and the McCain camp wants to get out of the VP debate anyway they possibly can. Atleast that's what Ed Shultz reported.

If there's any truth to all of this...

WOW!

Edit: Bob Casey talks about how McCain is pulling strings and derailing the bailout compromise here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MgXMDkWz4Q

1. McCain is saying no bailout or no compromise on the Paulson/Bush plan?

4. House republicans have completely backed out of the bailout comprimise.

It was going to be passed as soon as tomorrow, and McCain would have had to attend the debate (obviously).

But something happened and now republicans are against the compromise. Everything was going fine till McCain got there, and now it's blowing up.

[whistle]

8. So McCain is for no compromise and go with Paulson's blank check bailout plan

10. McCain actually offered his own plan, which was different that Paulsons and more polarizing.

Now republicans aren't sure they want to go with Paulson's plan, and democrats won't even consider McCain's plan.

2. How can you prove that?

How do you prove that McCain is holding it up because he wants to make himself look good?

6. All I know is Obama said things were moving along perfect until last night.

Now republicans that were for it, are suddenly against it.

It's just speculations as of now, but something doesn't seem right.

12. Hell, this afternoon Repubs and Dems from the Senate and House Dems

Got in front of the cameras and said they had hashed out substantial agreement on a plan. Then according to MSNBC, McCain showed up, talked with House Minority Whip Boehner and then Boehner came out and said, no plan. Sure sounds like McCain threw a monkey into the wrench.

13. I posted a link to Bob Casey confirming the McCain is screwing around with the compromise.

It's in the opening post, but here it as also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MgXMDkWz4Q

3. Sure looks that way in my darkest heart. Stage a fake revolt, McCain to the rescue

But according to Fineman, the revolt is real and deep and ideological... so who knows?

[gravity]

5. I just don't think he knows what he is doing.

He is a loose cannon

7. I was thinking the same thing, and thought it might have been the reason Bush used the "urgent"

language in his speech about this. The media was all over it, questioning the language he used- said usually you want to calm people down, not make it sound even scarier.

Unless of course you want to scare the people to set them up to make McCain look like a hero.

Maybe I'm looking way too deep into it but nothing would surprise me from these scumbags.

9. That's exactly what I thought last night. Bush wanted to make it seem like a crisis.

He wanted to make people feel like they need an experienced hand at the wheel at this time and not the "risky" choice.

He was totally trying to scare people. His language was way over the top and inappropriate.

He also called on Obama to return to Washington, which played perfectly into McCain's game.

Bush is very much playing a role in this.

11. Fine. No bailout and no debate. Who cares. No problem. The VP debate

goes on next as scheduled, and then two presidential debates. He can run but he can't hide.

We don't want this bailout anyway. Barack can have a wonderful townhall meeting tomorrow night. Sounds good to me.
