This is the same John McCain who just a couple of days ago was railing on the $1 trillion price tag of the bailout (when it was actually $700 billion).
But just a few days after railing against the unbridled power of government, McCain now seems to envision the presidency as a dictatorship. He now thinks that Bush should just spend $1 trillion without allowing anyone to ask any questions — and he supports doing it just one day after the House of Representatives voted down a $700 billion bailout.
This won’t suprise anyone on the left. The question I have is this: when are conservatives going to wake up and realize that despite all his bluster about being a conservative, the Republican nominee for president has proposed the single largest expenditure in the history of this nation — and that he’s proposed that it be made without the approval of Congress?
I am not an Obama supporter, but does this guy stand for anything, I mean for more than 5 minutes?

Ho ho! I guess you’re not reading your fearless leader’s (O’Pinocchio) posts. He said quite clearly “Remember, Obama has urged the Congress NOT to pass the bailout.”
Or are you saying that he’s a flip-flopper??
#31 “I guess you failed to notice that they were all based on the same AP article written by one guy, hm?”
If you had a brain you’d know you can suck the data from anywhere and parse it with these programs. However, I can see that your highest level of software usage is Internet Exploder! LOL!

Still don’t get it even after post #16.
ROFL!
Yep, libs have no sense of humor and those 40 & over, no brain.
dear conservatives,
every single critique of conservative policies and conservative politicians is definitely “conservative bashing” because as we all know conservative politicians and conservative policies are perfect and infallible. all your leaders are gods, and anyone saying otherwise is a communist or a terrorist.
i have seen the failure of my ways and will now follow my conservative overlords without question, just as you have shown by example.
i will also blame everything in society on the liberal media, because everyone knows that anyone who works for a newspaper hates america, unless it’s an approved conservative paper.
most sincerely,
a recently lobotomized liberal.
#35,
Are you dyslexic or just stupid?
#19 – Buwhahahahahahaha
Short answer. No.
“I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.” – McCain
“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should […] I’ve got Greenspan’s book.” -McCain
“I am very strong on the economy. I understand it. I have a lot more experience than my opponent.” -McCain
“I don’t know anything about the economy.” -McCain
sheesh.
Cow-Paddy,
So you flip flopped on this accusation about Obama NOT wanting the bail out.
You still haven’t answered my challenge that you post WHERE in the Constitution it states Congress can’t regulate CEO’s wages. Come on, I know you can do it. You wouldn’t flip flop twice in the same thread. Would you?
#42 You still have a problem with reading comprehension.
On both items…
#43, Cow-Paddy,
No reading comprehension problem here. The first question remains, where in the Constitution is Congress not allowed to regulate wages? Second did you or did you not write Obama was against the bailout?
