McCain: If Bailout Bill Fails the ‘Crisis’ Will Become a ‘Disaster’
ABC News’ Bret Hovell Reports: Republican presidential nominee John McCain projected confidence on the passage of the economic rescue bill Wednesday, saying Congress has “awakened to the danger,” in a speech at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. But, the Arizona Senator predicted doom if the bill should fail.
“If the financial rescue bill fails in Congress yet again,” McCain said, “the present crisis will turn into a disaster.”
McCain listed an inability to get student loans, mortgages and car sales as some of the immediate effects of the credit crunch.
“If we fail to act, the gears of our economy will grind to a halt,” he added.
McCain largely left politics out of the speech – he didn’t mention the name of his Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama. But, he did repeat a criticism – this time naming no one in particular – that he has in the past pinned to Obama directly.
“Of course, there are always some who think first of their own interests, who calculate their own advantage instead of rushing to the aid of their country,” McCain said.
He continued more hopefully: “But in the case of this bill, I am confident there are enough people of good will in both parties to help see America through this crisis. And when the last vote is cast, we can be grateful to all of them – Democrats and Republicans alike – for helping to solve the crisis instead of merely exploiting it.”

Obama Avoids Questions on Contraception Rule
McCain is saying Congress has awakened to the danger?
If so, then this awakening must have happened after McCain left Washington, because while he was there, the Republicans were rallying against the bailout.
And this is what the McCain campaign wants us to see as an example of his leadership abilities?

McCain Urges Bush To Spend $1 Trillion On Bailout — Without Congressional Approval
I’m not making this up. John McCain today urged the Bush Administration — on more than one occasion — to immediately and uniliterally spend $1 trillion buying up home mortgages.
I was watching live when he made the proposal this morning, and it seemed like such a staggeringly insane idea that I assumed he couldn’t be serious. He couldn’t think that Bush should just spend $1 trillion without asking Congress for permission…could he?
But then I saw his economic adviser try to back the idea up, and then I saw McCain make the proposal again during the NBC Nightly newscast. So he’s serious. He really thinks that Bush should just spend $1 trillion without talking to Congress, without seeking approval, without building any sort of consensus — without getting any protections whatsoever for taxpayers.
YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR THIS MAN ARE AS INSANE AS HE IS…..

True, the Republicans were rallying against the bailout because they want the people held accountable for what they caused and 2 of those are CEO’s on Obama’s payroll/election committee. The Democrats don’t want themselves held accountable because then Obama won’t make president because he was in on the ecomomic downfall. Wake Up! Check his voting record, he voted “Present”. What in the world is that! Obama can’t vote for himself he needs other crooked people to do that for him.

Beck: Right back at ya! Check Obama’s voting record, he always votes “Present” he can’t think for himself. Like I stated, both CEO’s for Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae are on Obama’s payroll and if you look it up he also got funding at a lower interest rate on his own home from one of the companies that paid into his campaign. People, look up his voting record! Also, Obama lies and he has been caught many times. He states he isn’t Muslim, but he was televised as saying he was! He is for socialism, so if you don’t want to be told what to do and how to do it, don’t vote for Obama. If you don’t believe me, go to his voting record, he can’t think for himself! And you want someone like that running our country? Also, in his debate with McCain, he had an ear piece in and was being told what to say! Didn’t you notice how he looked like he was talking to someone! Or was he talking to himself! That’s probably a good one. It is people like you Beck that will turn this country into a goverment ran socialist country. Booooooo!

Will someone PLEASE tell the American people the TRUTH? Is this a good bill or a bad bill? Is the economy really that f**ed up that we have to fork over so much money? Where will the money really go? Who will benefit and who will fall into a pile of s**t? Who is really responsible for this mess? Democrates blame Republicans and Republicans blame Democrats…and almost everyone blames Bush. This is probably the ONLY truth we know so far.

The “present” vote in Illinois is sometimes cast by state lawmakers with a conflict of interest who would rather not weigh in on an issue. Other times, members use the option to object to certain parts of a bill, even though they may agree with its overall purpose.
sorenhawk: Maybe you got back and do more fact checking…..Oh this might help you also.
“The ‘present’ vote is used, especially by more thoughtful legislators, not as a means of avoiding taking a position on an issue, but as a means of signaling concerns about an issue,” said state Rep. John Fritchey.
Obama sponsored 820 bills in the Illinois State legislature. So much so that the Illinois Times featured him in a cover story naming him HEAD OF THE CLASS for his legislative abundance.

Strange, but I haven’t heard any Republicans who voted against the Bailout say it was because of Obama that they voted against it, or because of Acorn, or because of Obama’s campaign advisers and I haven’t heard them blame anyone on Obama’s team for causing the financial crisis this country is in. They have all said “there is plenty of blame to go around” meaning that the Republicans themselves are as much to blame as anyone. Why are you nitwits who don’t even understand the problem so quick to blame everything on Obama? Like he is the person responsible for every single disastrous event this country has experienced in the past 8 years. Sure, blame him for Katrina, too!! Please, don’t hesitate to correct me if I’m wrong, but is it not Bush/Cheney who have been running the show during this period of time?

Beck:

IN OTHER WORDS, CAN’T THINK FOR HIMSELF! He is afraid of voting in case he makes the wrong decision because he doesn’t know what he is doing, so of course vote “Present” that’s the easy way out instead of working to find the right answer.
That is usually how he always votes and he also voted “Present” on the economic bill, so where is the change? Has anyone actually heard Obama mention what change?

geecee: Get a clue, that is why no one has brought it to the american’s attention because most of the stations are only broadcasting or reporting sound bites in Obama’s favor so not too many people know that Obama is behind alot of this. Check Fox News once and you will get all the information that is true and factual. This station is only for the Democrates who only look out for themselves as you can tell by the economic mess they got us into. Like I stated Obama has both CEO’s that caused this mess on his payroll. Check out Fox News! Obama says he is for change but can anyone tell me exactly what he means? He just says that he is for change, how do you know if it is good or bad.

Here’s what I know. McCain supposedly suspended his campaign to get this bill passed. He said there would be no debate until there was a deal.
Then he suspended the suspension, while simultaneously accusing Obama of politicizing the issue, and showed up at the debate.
Then he returned to Washington, presumably suspending the suspension of the suspension, to demonstrate leadership in the passing of this bill.
After the bill failed, McCain suspended the suspension of the suspension of the suspension and started campaigning again.
I can’t understand why the media is suggesting McCain might be a little erratic.

I claims allegiance to no party, since that seems ignorant to me. But from what I’ve seen, Republicans are extremely arrogant and hard headed. They’ll eat up all the negativity toward Obama and buy it as gospal. But when something negative is learned about McCain and brought to light…they go on the offensive and refuse to accept that it just may be true. Then they don’t want to research facts on their own…too lazy and would rather accept those daily Obama bashing e-mails as their main source of “facts”. I have many friends on both sides of the tracks here and the Democratic ones are hiding in the wings…waiting to pounce on voting day. I also know numerous PRIOR Republicans that are voting for Obama this time around because of the circus of a campaign McCain is running and the current Bush administration.
As far as the bail-out…I think to make it more appeasing to the average Joe like you and I, there needs to be some punitive damages thrown in for the CEO’s that caused this mess. Put some blood in the water to feed the sharks! We don’t want our tax dollars going to arrogant people (Republicans??) that tried to get away with our livelihoods!!!

sorenhawk – Fixed Noise Channel (FOX) is the most sensationalistic, scandalous, tabloid, irresponsible, fear-mongering; fringe-element leaning “news” channel broadcasting on America’s airwaves today. They are so slanted against Obama it is downright flagrant and blatant. I wouldn’t believe a word they said. Yet every other news network reports the truth and you McCain supporters claim they are in the tank for Obama! So if 10 are reporting the truth and 1 is spreading rumors, innuendo, outright lies and ridiculous assertions, why would I watch that channel? Yeah, only Fox gets to the truth!!! Right. Everyone else is covering up something. Does that really make sense to you? Call your doctor.

This bill IS A SHAM! Oppose it at all costs!
It is a giant land grab by several institutions, especially Goldman Sachs! Just as NJ’s governor, who is a former Goldman CEO, the Treasury head is former Goldman. Guess who is the main benefactor of this deal… you got it. Goldman! NJ’s governor, Jon Corzine, and the NJ government over the past several years have directly benefitted Goldman Sachs. It’s a running joke in NJ that Goldman seems to be the ONLY lending institution in the country. FORMER GOLDMAN PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF GOLDMAN… PERIOD!
Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is 100% correct on this problem. If the problem is bad mortgage debt, then the problem should be solved from the BOTTOM UP! Just like how Obama wants to correct the economy and help the middle-class by starting from the BOTTOM UP! If Goldman wasn’t getting any money from this deal, I might think that it has a bit of legitimacy to it. But Goldman seems to be the main beneficiary of this plan.
Floating money from the TOP DOWN WILL NOT correct this problem – THE BAD MORTGAGES WILL STILL EXIST! Fix the bad mortgages – Stop the foreclosures – Save the people’s homes. If the big institutions are complaining about the bad mortgages, How can they complain if the bad mortgages are addressed? DO NOT GIVE THEM THE MONEY DIRECTLY!
THIS IS A LAND GRAB AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Now Obama is for this autrocity on the American taxpayer as well and I sure as hell won’t vote for him; But McCain is utterly incomptetent on the two major issues that are directly effecting your and my daily life. Hell with McCain AND Obama! They’d rather put US in poverty and seize our incomes to bankroll the debts brought on by their buddies stealing from the American taxpayer. Why are we trying to subsidize money the same people who have ALREADY ROBBED money from us ??? Which is how we got in this mess into the 1st place!

All of you just need to keep in mind one thing, McCain = Bush. McCain does not thing Bush’s policies are wrong. That is why he voted 90% of the time in support of Bush. He simply believes that Bush mis-handled implementation of this policies. Hasn’t this country had enough of this living in the past mentality of the Republican party? And for those who do not want intervention in the free markets….I have not heard a coherent alternative strategy that could be executed immediately to relieve the credit crunch. Doing nothing is not an option..at least for those who want to avoid a depression…Muddling along on this bill just increases the urgency that something must be done and prolongs the pain and longevity of the problem…

2001 Bush tried to get oversight on these failing companies and the Dems blocked while the Repubs allowed it.
2003 the same exact thing happens.
2005 McCain made a passionate speach calling for a bill he co-authored to be passed preventing this very crisis. He described it perfectly as it is occuring. Dems blocked it and repubs allowed them to.
2008 the CEO’s of these two companies are staffed on Obama’s campaign. One is in charge of helping narrow down his VP list. Obama claims he and not McCain called for the 2005 legislation but thank you C-Span, OBAMA A LIAR and ABC didn’t have the guts to call him on it. Any of you ever check out C-Span?

Pass this bill, where the Fed chairman isn;t even under review from congress or the president and can do “whatever he deems necessary” witj YOUR money, with NO accountablility… and you have signed our financial death warrant. Call them to STOP this NOW, or you will see what a hyperinflationary depression looks like. Unless you know how to grow crops or know how to shoot, you will be at the mercy of each other when the dollar fails. Why did the market go UP, after it’s failed? Why did the price of oil go DOWN when it failed. The bigger risk is passing this and putting this country into bankruptcy. Let the banks fail, and reaorgainize, but you will condemn yourselves and children into finacial slavery/dictatorship, should this bill pass. This is the financial Patroit Act. It WILL destroy our currency. Don’t be a participant in your own enslavement to the international banking cartel!!!

I believe we should let it be. It’s how free market works. The government got involved and that created this mess. They brought pressure on these companies to make bad loans and now the companies are in trouble. If the government wants to hand out a trillion dollars then they would be better served if they used it to pay off our mortgages for us and allow us to put those monies into the market.

So Bush went around saying the same thing.
Now we have McCain, Obama AND Biden all saying it too.
Now McCain has admitted he’s NOT strong on the economy. So if Obama and Biden all agree with him what does that say about what THEY know about the economy?
Does anyone believe anything these dirtbags say?
Can people NOT see the politicians are again trying to hoodwink Americans by using fear and lies? And that in doing so they insult our intelligence and our sense of right and wrong?
This has zero to do with the markets or the economy. This is about power.
Don’t buy the hype. Stay calm. The world is NOT about to end. The market is NOT failing. This is nothing compared to what this country has faced in the past. We will get through this and prevail.
Let your voices be heard. Contact your senators to let them know where you stand.

Looking At McCains Past Record, He has only voted, when his elect 5%, would make more of a Gain.
McCain was held away form voting No, on the Past Bill, because his 5% would not gain anything. This is a set-up. Put this view in your History Books. McCcain is Buying Wall Streets ‘Fixed’ Votes.
Vote No to McCains Afgan War ‘Draft’. View McCain’s past voting record. Voted against money for Younger Education, But supports his Funding of Teenagers of Drafting Age.

I’m sorry I can’t vote for Obama as he has no real record. He hasn’t even been a Senator for 4 yrs. I’m sure he’s a “good man” but there are too many uncertainties about him. He talks a good game but things just don’t add up. He’s too liberal, too much government, too much spending and not enough experience. His preacher is controversial; he went there for 20 yrs, you can’t tell me he wasn’t influenced by him after 20yrs in the pews. And his wife is no only proud of him now. Scary. I’ll go with a man who has shown true service and sacrifice for his country; willing to even give up his life for it. He may not be as smooth talking or charismatic as Barry but I know he truly loves this country and wants what’s best for it. Barry Obama is just too much of an scary unknown at this time.

Our political leaders (including McCain and Obama) is just trying to scare us. And the banks/wallstreet has assisted by limiting the loans. As soon as it quiets down in a few weeks they will start loaning again. We do not need to bailout these companies. It is really just a bandaid on a dam that our democrats and republican currently serving has allowed. This is a natural process, wall street will rebound. Oh and by the way if they cared about the economy they would stop paying and giving the breaks to the companies that are now outsourcing all the jobs.
