MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said: “He’s like a cavalry commander who said ‘Charge!’ and the Republicans went into retreat.”
Hilarious. - inactive, on 09/29/2008, -2/+240“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -4/+217The fundamentals of his campaign are strong.
- marabout40, on 09/29/2008, -2/+120Just like he claimed a win for the debate before the debate was even held and before he even confirmed he was going to attend the debate. This man is irratic and irrational.
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -3/+110Old cut and run McCain shoots his mouth off first and asks questions later. That's not the kind of person we need to lead our country.
- paintgrl, on 09/29/2008, -4/+69Classic McCain shooting from the hip, by-passing his brain.
FTA: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his top aides took credit for building a winning bailout coalition – hours before the vote failed and stocks tanked.
Shortly before the vote, McCain had bragged about his involvement and mocked Sen. Barack Obama for staying on the sidelines.
On Monday morning, McCain campaign communications director Jill Hazelbaker said on Fox News that the deal would not have happened “without Sen. McCain.”
Classic Chris Matthews
FTA: After the vote, commentators were harsh. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said: “He’s like a cavalry commander who said ‘Charge!’ and the Republicans went into retreat.” - webwatch, on 09/29/2008, -3/+66McCain is slowly turning into a Joke just like his running mate.
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -6/+62I'm so sick of mcCain, my hate for this guy is unreal.
- paintgrl, on 09/29/2008, -1/+54Where are the Thomas Jeffersons of today. We could use one.
- GardenRetreat, on 09/29/2008, -3/+53No surprise here.. remember when he put an ad out before the debate and said he won the debate..some things never change

- algaeturd, on 09/30/2008, -4/+44Wait, wait, wait....digg republicans are giving him CREDIT for the bill not passing. But here he is taking credit for a bill he THOUGHT was passing.
Complete and total FAIL. On both parts. Doublefail. - chockZ, on 09/29/2008, -1/+40The audacity of this man and his campaign staff!
Can we finally hammer the last nail into the coffin that is John McCain's presidential candidacy? - chicoer2001, on 09/29/2008, -3/+38This is why you should'nt rush things. Rushing to get things out before Obama isnt always good.
- Echota, on 01/05/2009, -2/+34FTA: On Monday morning, McCain campaign communications director Jill Hazelbaker said on Fox News that the deal would not have happened “without Sen. McCain.”
“Sen. McCain interrupted his campaign, suspended his campaign activity to come back to Washington to get Republicans around a table,” Hazelbaker said. “Without Sen. McCain, House Republicans would not have appointed a negotiator, which would not have moved this bill forward.
“It’s really Sen. McCain who got all parties around a table to hammer out a deal that hopefully is in the best interests of the American taxpayer.”
Way to go John!
McFail! - magus_melchior, on 09/30/2008, -2/+30McCain: "Ha! Score one for my team! In your face, Obama!"
Adviser: "Uh, sir, the House voted it down."
McCain: "D'oh!!" - bongfarmer, on 09/30/2008, -1/+29Is he trying to lose? You think by pure chance he would of gotten _something_ right in the last few weeks

133 Republicans joining 95 Democrats in opposition to the bill.
Let me fix that for you McCain:
"The REPUBLICANS don't want to see McCain get a solution passed." - Dipsomaniac, on 09/30/2008, -1/+26Well, he was right that he won the debate as long as you only ever listen to Republicans about it. Otherwise, he's wrong, especially in the eyes of the independents, who the debate was aimed at.
So sad for McCain, huh? - EtherGnat, on 09/30/2008, -0/+24""[McCain] dedicated the past week" to addressing the problem..."He's made dozens of calls," Holtz-Eakin said."
""Where was Barack Obama for today?" Holtz-Eakin said. "He's phoning it in — phoning it in"
So, um, they were both phoning it in? - avataros, on 09/30/2008, -1/+25"Mental Recession" now has a completely different meaning within the McCain camp.

Wait. Taken away from private banks, and turned over to government? But that's.... that's.... *socialism*!
/sarcasm - nevinl, on 09/30/2008, -1/+21I don't know how many ppl followed the bailout on NPR, but I thought that it was friggin hilarious how it has been reported....
In a nutshell, McCain dropped the debates to go 'fix it'. He arrived, no one really wanted him there, he had little if any input...it sounded like he just pretty much sat there. Then McF**k boasted that 'I'm here and you're not Obama', only to have the thing blow up in his face. Obama was saying that the candidates SHOULDN'T be involved, because it it's THEIR job yet and it should be for economists. When the first solution was announced (I can't remember what day it was), Obama was in support with the dems, economists, etc, etc...everything rosy. McCain, on the other hand, couldn't even friggin unite his OWN party...his [foregone] maverick attitude couldn't unite his own party....
So...now it gets approved by them, he takes credit...goes to house....FAIL!.....and who was the majority for it to fail in the house??
the Republicans....
ROTFLMAO...
Seriously...why the hell are ppl even considering this *****? I think most of my neighbors in PA have as many marbles rolling around in their head as this geezer - richardstaboner, on 09/30/2008, -0/+20slowly?

credit? if by bad credit yes.
McCain is such an Effin liar - TheAmazingBob, on 09/30/2008, -1/+20Since the beginning of politics, politicians have claimed to have involvement in things with which they are not involved. But only McCain takes it to the point where he is claiming to be involved in things which have not happened.
- newcombrs, on 09/30/2008, -1/+19"If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands, and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest, until it shall vanish into air... We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on the principle of 'a public debt being a public blessing,' and its mutation into the blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks with paper." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:423
- RodBorn, on 09/30/2008, -1/+18"McCain's camp claims the senator is partly responsible for the tentative bailout plan.
Previewing a McCain campaign message for the days ahead, top strategist Steve Schmidt claimed Sunday that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is partly responsible for the tentative agreement on a mortgage bailout that congressional leaders announced shortly after midnight."
That was Sunday. You fail.
As does McShame - kineticarl, on 09/30/2008, -0/+17wow, craigly. You found an article and a blog post. Both of them cherry pick data from sources that any statistician would throw out in a heartbeat. In fact, the blog post tells you why the conclusion you drew from the aol article is bunk, and then it goes on to make its own egregiously erronious excretion of an excuse for a definitive conclusion (drudge votes + msn votes = McCain wins!). What's your agenda here?

-Thomas Jefferson,
Virginia Bill #64
18th of June 1779
"I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature.....Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make half the world fools and half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the world."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Notes on Virginia"
I guess that's why there are no Jeffersons of today. The media and the followers of "not Jefferson" would go around Digg and various blogs and on the street just quoting that. These days, anyone who says something "real" is immediately exempt from public office. Jefferson spoke his mind; as crazy as it was at times [ahem, social issues].
In the words of Stephen Colbert, when asked by Congressman Wexler why he didn't mind talking about such ridiculous viewpoints, satire or not:
"Well, I don't have to run for public office". - Dipsomaniac, on 09/30/2008, -1/+17Nope, sorry. Internet polls don't cut it, no way, no how. Real polls show that Obama did better in the opinion of those polled properly, especially among independents, who are the ones that the debates are targeted at.
I've looked at pretty much every proper poll on the debate, and Obama overwhelmingly has been judged the better performer. - Hillsfar, on 09/30/2008, -1/+16Just like a typical neo-con. Making assertions without proof and using insults.
If you at least tried to speak with documented proof, that'd be helpful, wouldn't it? - RodBorn, on 09/30/2008, -1/+16McCain has not only become a joke, but the punchline as well.
- platypusREX, on 09/30/2008, -1/+15Cant this ***** slip on a banana peel already!
- Bob042, on 09/30/2008, -1/+15Good thing he took that time out to save America last week.
- hirschab, on 09/30/2008, -17/+30Ron Paul.
- Spor, on 09/30/2008, -0/+13+1 for growing extremely tired of McCain. What bothers me even more than McCain is that there are still so many people out there supporting him. How can so many Americans be so blind? So, I dare say, dumb?
- richirwin, on 09/30/2008, -2/+15Over the past 7 days, John McCain has done what he has done for 26 years - Shown not an OUNCE of leadership.
John McCain - What the *****, dude? - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+13I see what you did there.
- xutopia, on 09/30/2008, -0/+12Except one of you is commenting on a thread about how one of your political idols just did a gaffe. Sadly for you it's not Obama.
- pimpofpixels, on 09/30/2008, -1/+12Every day another lie.
They need to make one of thos disposible calanders of McCain's lies.
He's really getting to be a phenominon. - rockhell, on 09/30/2008, -1/+12absolute ***** *****. i'd rather obama keep his mouth shut than run off at the mouth like mccain spouting ***** we've heard for 8 years.
friends dont let friends vote for senile ***** - ZenMojo, on 09/30/2008, -0/+11According to McCain, Obama had nothing to do with this legislation.
- ironhide, on 09/30/2008, -0/+10Awwww, the poor repukes can't take some abuse so they take it out on the country. Don't tell me you're defending those crybabies.
- ZenMojo, on 09/30/2008, -0/+10That's not Kool-aid, that's blood in the water, sucka.
