Another Irony! The "Maverick" Is Abandoning His Support For The Bailout To Side With The House GOP
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 11:19 PM by Median Democrat
I wonder what happened to the Maverick who is willing to stand up to his party? Instead, in a time of crisis, he flip flops on supporting the bailout in order to support House Republicans on some alternative proposal that they have yet to even draft!

Yup, he's a real independent thinker, isn't he?

2. I think this stance is going to bite him in the ass! Those same
RICH PUBS will turn against him when the market dropps over 1,000 points tomorrow and all of them lose their own money.

Of course, when your initial positions are wildly unpopular, embody failed policies, and prove indefensible to most 'Murkans, what else can you do??? :puke: :puke: :puke:

Go (the opposite direction) McCrap!!!

6. He thinks he's a Maverick because he's opposing Paulsen's plan.
And there are some who will believe him.

7. What happened to the "Mavreick" that can handle more
than one grill at a time. (quote thanks to the Rachel Rea show clip seen somewhere)

I need about ten hours sleep so I can remember where I saw these things. :7

8. Except about everyone opposes Paulson's plan
Including, I guess Paulson now, McHoover and his nutty friends propose an even sweeter deal for the fatcats.

9. I Guess The Marerick Will Vote Against McCain The Populist Who Called For More Regulations
I have to say that McCain is about as consistent as a mood ring these days. However, if McCain is ultimately siding with the extreme right of his party, it will be interesting to see McCain's grandiose lies. I bet McCain will just start reminding everyone that he was a POW again.
