    Amid GOP revolt, bailout deal breaks down
    By JENNIFER LOVEN and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writers 1 hour, 38 minutes ago

    Conservatives were in revolt over the astonishing price tag of the proposal and the hand of government that it would place on private markets.

    McCain's campaign issued a statement saying, "the plan that has been put forth by the administration does not enjoy the confidence of the American people as it will not protect the taxpayers and will sacrifice Main Street in favor of Wall Street." The White House, too, acknowledged there was no deal, only progress.

    Conservatives won't tolerate any solution that's anything other than a big fat check, without any attached requirements. But if it wasn't for conservatives, this country would not have any significant problems. After all, logic and science can solve problems. Conservatives, on the other hand, lean more towards religion and "magical" fixes that have no explanation in the world of things that can be tested.

    Eight years of nothing but failure. Congratuations, Republicans, you've finally proven yourselves more effective at hurting America than every terrorist on the planet combined.

    It does seem that McCain is hiding and dodging the debates. The other night he cancelled his appearance on David Letterman. He showed up to talk to Katie Couric, though. And the funny thing is, Letterman and McCain are friends. I guess Dave asks tougher questions than Katie.

    I did see an interview with Palin and Katie Couric. I was NOT impressed. Palin seemed uneducated on the current status of things, and kept saying, "John McCain says...."

    Here is the last part of the interview:

    Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

    Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

    Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

    Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.

    Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

    Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

    Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

    Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

    The deal isn't about US citizens it's about placating our foreign creditors. And the $700 billion bailout only buys us a year at the most. It doesn't address the problem that the US's whole economy is based on nothing but smoke and mirrors. How can a world power base it's whole economy on debt? And I don't think offshore drilling will produce enough oil to buy our way out. Perhaps that's why the push for more nuclear, but just what part of the nuclear power market do we really hold right now? Is it held by national companies or international firms that have no true national allegiance? We have very little leverage at this point. Our's is a consumer/service based economy and we can no longer buy anything even on credit, we will slip down that slippery slope.

    FACT: The Democratic Party is still many dozens of votes short of being able to enact any legislation.

    This is purely a Republican Party problem, and if you Republican pieces of shit don't fix it, we're gonna chop up and eat your fucking families in front of you.
