ORIGINAL: cloudboy Every day that either Bush or the Economy are in the news is a bad day for McCain. One truly wonders what kinds of catastrophes need to happen to discredit bad Republican policies and executive malfeasance. Ummm Rick Davis,McCain`s campaign manager,the top guy,was until only last month,taking payments from FannyMae for his efforts to loosen regulations for the financial sector. Phil Gramm? Another McCainer,lobbied(successfully) to have thrown out our depression era regulations(that helped build the strongest economy in history)that protected our money. These crooks were leveraging money at 30 to one. Fucking 30/1. That never would have been allowed under the old rules. It`s the deregulation that has caused the problems. And McCain is at the heart of the deregulation effort in Washington and has been for decades. He has often personally taken credit for those efforts. Now they`re try to pin Washington's`s problems on Obama,after saying he hasn`t been in Washington long enough? Huh? Can`t have it both ways and you can`t pull off the changing act, making McCain the reformer. He`s the problem and he`s getting dragged under because of it. Mr.Obama warned of this over a year ago,during which time McCain and his lobbyist campaign manager Rick Davis, were hard at work loosening rules and eliminating them for banks,Wall Street,mortgage houses,etc. George Will has hit on something. It`s true that the "base"(whatever that is) was energized by Palin and McCain`s pick of her. But a good number of conservatives were turned off. And nothing much has happened to change that.Palin looks worse by the day and McCain is floundering. I don`t think the McCainers can count on party loyalty trumping America`s best interests, when regular conservatives vote.
