Does McCain know he voted for the bailout package?

[815Sox]

The Bush adminstration used very high stress tactics in order to push the bailout package. They said that the entire world was going to end if they did not pass the bailout and forced a vote (two actually) very quickly. They ramroded it through congress. They did the same thing with the Iraq invasion. Walker did it in Wisconsin, it is becoming a way to pass something that the majority does not support.

[aspectusTV]

I dont understand why they don't draw from the near infinite pool of economists to play the role politians do, when those guys spew their garbage at least it 'sounds' professional.

[815Sox]

@aspectusTV Economists are just as susceptible to corporate money as Republicans. We have something called the CBO which is basically what you are describing. They are a non-partisan group. However, the CBO cannot prevent the Republicans from ignoring it when it doesn't suit them. It cannot make the Democrats actually stand up to the GOP and call them out for doing so either. When the CBO report suits the GOP (it rarely does), you will never hear the end of it.

I've got a idea the ones who have the least, we'll give to the ones who have the most. And we'll call it a capitalist society. You know a democracy.

[screamingchickenpie]

heh,John McCain,that idiot.xD I'm so glad he wasn't elected.

[MattinglyAlexander]

Obama was for the bailout as well.

[SofaKingLoaded]

"John, why didn't you vote against a bill that is corrupting and stand up to pork..."

McCain: "Let's ride bikes!"

[NotOfThisGalaxy]

There is ONLY ONE solution. . .

NATIONALIZE THE PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKING CARTEL

Seize their assets. Expose their crimes. Arrest their overlords.

Google: Executive Order 11110 JFK -to see how JFK almost broke the cartel.

Educate Yourself: See "The Money Masters" video.

Stop allowing the Federal Reserve private banking cartel to counterfeit the nation's money. Return money creation to We, The People.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT OF 1913 WAS THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY

[NotOfThisGalaxy]

Everyone who voted for this unconstitutional bailout is guilty of high treason.

A coup d' etat has occurred in Congress.

[piscesinphoenix]

It's pretty sad when you play both sides of aisle so much you forget which seat is yours. This pathetic little toady will say anything, vote for anything just for the photo op or soundbite. He is the worst kind of opportunist.

[DrRoberts9]

A few years as a guest of the Hanoi Hilton, advancing senility, and being a lying scum bag produces clips like the above.

[MMS747]

I expressed an interest in McCain back in 2003. I was advised -- by Republicans -- to take a closer look. Good advice. It takes a Republican to truly despise John McCain.

[maximumgravity]

MMS747

Well said - I know in the 2000 and 2004 campaign, he was being termed as a "closet liberal" - 8 years later he has the GOP nomination??? WTF???

[milliradian]

improving the bill? It was 3 pages, how many is it now? ...Fuck the 2 party system, I'm voting something else!

[Novinte]

What the Fuck is he retarded

[hunna1967]

Cindy better lookout because McCain and Palin are made for one another!!!

[MeDammitt]

I voted for this economic disaster causing plan, because the other economic disater causing plans worked so well. I am a specialist when it comes to economic disaster plans.

My opponant phoned in his vote for this plan to destroy the economy, I did it in person.

And they want us to choose one of these morons?

The moron who used a phone, or the moron who used a pen, yeah, that's important.

[guineapage]

Obama '08

[righteouspolitics80]

looks like too much ambien is giving him selective memory.

[erupshaun]

look how much he blinks

[buddjas1]

Obama = McCain = Bush = Socialism

Enough is enough.

[MineTheSouls]

liar, nazi, ect ect....

[geodesicks]

wow. mccain's suspension of his campaign was a GIMMICK. the House said that he was if anything, getting in the way of real discussions among experts, and just there for a photo-op. he didn't help. even with bush and obama on the table, he kept quiet most of the time because he knew little and knew little to say! he just wanted to say how patriotic he was by suspending his campaign. how superficial is this man? gas tax holiday, choosing sarah palin, and now this? is his whole life a GIMMICK?

[aquafishsoup]

Nader08!!!

[daveshelbygt]

McCain has some nerve talking about corruption in the congress and he was front and center of the last savings and loan scandal The Keating 5. And Obama took money from the people us tax payers get to bail out. The 2 clowns are bought and paid for by big business. In some parts of the world they call that fascism.

VOTE NADER/GONZALEZ 08!

[flibadob]

McCain blinks, alot. Something liars do, often when they can't touch their face.

[kaesantiago]

Shouldn't his campaign still be suspended until an ACTUAL bill is passed?! I'm sorry but he makes no sense, he doesn't answer the questions, and is running out of excuses. Just like Palin is trying to remember his talking points. Wow, this campaign looks like a trainwreck!

[kaesantiago]

I think grandpa is confused! Or he is just trying to avoid the issue. McCain sounds like he is on the brink of Alzheimer's. Great another Bush!

[greenwalk7313]

I seriously think he has dementia

[thepoliticalcenter]

Did he have a stroke or something?

[gays4mccaindotcom]

I bet the elites are going to eat this one up and spit it back out with glee while their country deteriorates under unnecessary scrutiny. We've got bigger fish to fry and words don't offer much caloric intake.

[rozz01]

Does anyone understand this?.. makes no sense to me...

[latentsun]

VOTE!

[jordi32504]

what the hell is he talking about? I sware im boycotting the vote because I hate all the candidates. Im not gonna vote for either of these manipulative politicians

[gays4mccaindotcom]

I once felt like you jordi32504, but I then realized that if Obama gets elected, we'll suffer from a socialism like we've never seen before.

WE MUST NOT ALLOW THAT, NO WAY, NOBAMA, NO HOW.

VOTE MCCAIN PALIN 08!

[iwonttell19888]

LOL @ suffer.

[daveshelbygt]

Yeah socialism......like our police, libraries, fire departments, public schools, parks, public works and OH God NO we can't have health care. All paid by us taxpayers and used by everyone...that "my friends" is socialism and unless I am mistaken it seems to work just fine!

Wake up lemmings, Democrats & Republicans are 98% corrupt and bought out by the lobbyist pigs.

VOTE NADER! For true freedom and democracy!

[Gangularis]

here's a fun thing to do. try and see what it's like to blink as fast as john mccain. it turns reality into a strobe light!

[mj21619]

i have heard some many ppl r gunna vote 4 obama cuz he is blk and nothing wrong with tht. jus tht he is not black he is muslim!!!!!

[Gangularis]

mj21619, moron..first of all, muslim isn't a race, it's a religion.. secondly, do a websearch on "is obama a muslim"? and you'll find a slew of search results that completely debunk that bogus urban legend.

[fastronaut]

Lessons learned this year. 1. A lie is true if you smile. 2. A lie is true if you repeat it. 3. If you won't answer a question, people will just forget you were asked it. 4. The McCain campaign isn't aware that we all read "1984" and "Brave New World." 5. The McCain campaign is hoping the American people want more stupidity enthroned. 6. They are also counting on our collective amnesia.

[dogstar7]

It's very easy to follow, unless you're some so-called conservative at a Georgetown cocktail party...then pffft! so much for you...

John McCain was against it before he understood it, then he was for it when it became the headline, then he suspended his campaign to rush to Washington, but it took him 23 hours while he did an interview with Katie Couric, then he was for it until he was against it again, then he changed it, but not enough...

[dogstar7]

...until he was for it but couldn't get it passed, so he changed it again and it passed, but it still isn't good enough, but anyway it's Obama's fault it didn't pass, or that it did, or it's Nancy Pelosi's fault, or Gwen Ifill who has integrity, but he wishes he never approved, but mostly it's Obama's fault.

Hell! These are just "gotcha" questions, anyway. Grampa Maverick needs a nap and a Change We Can Believe In...like a fresh Depends.

Hey you kids! Get off of my lawn!!!

[gabbytom]

He is sounding like George Bush Sr. by the time Clinton was done with him...

[califbobo]

I watched this segment this morning on Morning Joe and listened to McShame do his BS. It made me shake my head thinking he first said it was imparative we pass this, now it's full of PORK, he's against PORK like Obama loves PORK but he voted for it? Maybe he got confused with all that BLINKING (lie machine) that they were talking about lipstick again?

McSame-PaLIEN in 2008?

Thanks but NO THANKS!!!

[clinthouse]

That must of been a gotcha question like every question that Palin has been asked. How is this going to be turned around to make him look good? Can't wait for tonight!

[zangdook]

Jeez, what an asshole. He went to Washington for a photo op and messed everything up, and he has the nerve to insult Obama who did everything he could.

F off back to Arizona, Mr McPlanecrash.

Read Rolling Stone on The Real John McCain

[allocater]

this video will hit 1 million viewer, it just got linked by huffpost,tpm and americablog

[hereyescio]

Sad ... sad ... sad !

He just came totally unglued. Maybe this Palin thing is catchy after all !

[Irebamiji]

Oh. M'dear. God!

[palotin07]

Excuse me? I voted for the bill "because of what you just said. Because it is putting us on the brink of economic disaster"? Is that the ultimate in accidental honesty? Did McCain really just admit that destroying the country is both a matter of principle and a policy position? The man really must have hidden depths of honor and honesty. Spread the word: Straight Talk is back!!!!

[califbobo]

PALOTINO07, I thought I was the only one who caught that (he voted for it because of what you just said?). John, please pull your head of of Karl Roves ass, please...

[lorezapocalypse]

but that's were he gets his best campaigning ideas, like complaining about lipstick and suspending his campaign. Its that type of bold gimmicks and useless blather that Americans have come to expect in a leader.

[dweeze4444]

John McCain is a JOKE!!!

New Quinnipiac poll results 10/1/2008.

Florida: Obama 51, McCain 43

Ohio: Obama 50, McCain 42

Pennsylvania: Obama 54, McCain 39

Its only going to get worst when Palin goes down in flames tonight.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

[ItchyJohnson]

this is just fuckin hilarious. like, all you can do is laugh.

[shaine991]

McCain is simply Demented, Incoherent and plain stupid. I was a Republican, even supported McCain's effort in 2000, but that's all over now.

After two tours in Iraq, I can tell you that 1. the Iraqis don't want us there and don't appreciate the effort

2. Many of my brothers in the USMC are supporting Obama, as they now know they were lied to.

McCain is nothing more than a Bush lacky who'll say anything and everything.

Palin is proof of McCain's DEMENTIA

[kycee]

oy.

[TexasNative68]

Geez, McCain get a backbone and start standing up for US! What happened to "Stand up and Fight with me"?

Should have voted no on this pork barrel crap of a bill!

[stevecoe88]

"The only thing McCain suspended is reality"

Exactly.

[chavezia]

Ops! palinism is catching...yikes...get vaccinated before we all become bumbling idiots!

[hosalabad]

Just answer the question for once.  Just once.

[anatoli5343]

did he stroke out and is now on his default Obama attacks? I really think he's lost it.

[cj1212121]

Right, "suspended my campaign".

John, no one but your hardcore bitter-enders actually believes that nonsense anymore. Way to close that gap.

[Espanjoel]

Orwell would be proud.

[chinatown1997]

Is Palin prepping McCain now? WTF??!!!

[Adrasteia988]

My God, does the guy even know what day it is?!

He suspended his campaign to pass a bill that is going to wreck the economy? That doesn't make any sense.

Obama "phoned it in"? Obama put his own political life on the line to speak about the Bill that YOU McCain voted for.

What, are you now against what you just voted for?

Can someone please tell me if the top of the ticket is any more viable than the bottom?

[Chiffon56]

LOL!! I'd wondered if anyone else caught that. Geez... we want this guy to be involved in sensitive national security talks? Grandpa McCain belongs at "Shady Acres"... not in The White House.

[jdflana]

I think McCain is taking his cues from Palin now....???

[markofthebeasts]

i didn't vote for the war, because it wasn't paid for...... not....

[epiphany4z]

lmao.....shouldn't his campaign still be "suspended" I mean the bill has not passed the house yet.

"black is what, up is down, boobs is asses" red state update quote I think fits very well here.

[estevancarlos]

too late.

[sidewalkperformers]

ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

[daddiokng]

I voted for it because I couldn't vote against it since I am a coward a all.

[elperropatron]

LOL!!!! Another "Senior Momment" from Senator Senile!

Does he even know what he's saying anymore?

[Chiffon56]

So let's get this straight... he either takes credit for shit that doesn't even pass, or when he DOES vote for legislation, he brags about how it "... puts us on the brink of economic disaster"... We've already had to suffer through nearly eight years of the "tard". Do we really need Senator Dementia taking over now?
