Wish We Had That One Back
Monday, September 29th, 2008Whoops.
John McCain’s presidential campaign claimed credit as Congress readied Monday to vote on an emergency economic package, but Democrats said the Republican’s last-ditch intervention had been no help.
Mitt Romney, McCain’s erstwhile rival for the Republican nomination, said the deal on a Wall Street bailout worth up to 700 billion dollars would never have happened without the Arizona senator.
Speaking on NBC television, the former Massachusetts governor said “this bill would not have been agreed to had it not been for John McCain.”
“That doesn’t mean that he’s the only guy doing that. And there many people … who have been critical to it,” Romney said.
“But, you know, this is a bipartisan accomplishment, a bipartisan success. And if people want to get something done in Washington, they just watch John McCain,” he said.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. And I think McCain is getting pretty damn desperate. Stay tuned for more.
Makes me sick. Although what Pelosi said was pretty crappy too. Glad our “leaders” aren’t playing politics with 700 Billion and a nervous nation watching.
One word — DOH!
If McCain snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, it’ll be due to his not coming right out and flatly opposing any bail-out whatsoever.
Eh. Yeah. It is almost like talking about how bad it is that it passed before it failed. But that would never happen…
ohhh. wait.
