No deal reached at White House, officials say

I watched an interview with McCain where he said h had not even read Paulson's proposal today. Wow.

It was no surprise to some of us that a few, not most, but a few die hard ideological Republicans, said from the get go they were against a bail out no matter what. They did not even participate in the negotiations, by choice. Dems and Reps had agreed to the proposal they had worked on and both made the announcement that they had reached an agreement both sides could enact. In fact, the representative from Utah said he felt that there were enough votes on both sides to get it passed.

They announced a bit ago on MSNBC that the plan will not halt and it will go forward. Especially in light of the proposal set forth by the few who are in disagreement. Their proposal has the following:

1. No bail out what so ever, for Wall Street or for tax payers, except businesses who purchase the failing companies. This is despite the fact that there has been no interest made to buy out some of these companies on Wall Street. They are trying to push their ideological tax cut agenda that has helped to contribute to our national debt by trying to wage wars for free or borrowing money from China.

2. No protection for single home people in foreclosure and bankruptcy but continued protection for those who own 7 homes.

3. They want less regulation to "help" stimulate solutions to the problems.

Wow. I am amazed at how dim some elected officials can be. Dems and Reps bent over backwards to keep their agendas out of this proposal. Both sides worked hard on this for 7 days, night and day. To come along at the last minute and say "we are going to determine what goes on here" is ludicrous.

I am also amazed that so many "officials" from the Republican side spend so much money to get a job in an entity that they tell us is bad, unmanagable, and inept. They spend 10's of millions of dollars every 2 years so they can make $150,000 a year at a job that they  themselves say is horrible. My question is, why do we need them if we are capable of doing everything without them, according to their own ideology?

McCain couldn't even get his own party to support many of his own proposals, like the immigration reform. He had said 7 days ago that the fundamentals are sound. He was also against a bailout at the beginning. He said dergulation had helped the economy. He stated he would fire a man he could not fire, and then he called for a committee to determine how this happened when everyone knew what happened. Don't forget that he said this was all Obama's fault, after months of saying Obama has no experience and was not in office long and had done nothing at all. He is reading from cue cards on his podium and looks like he is about to have a heart attack at his unease on this who subject.

America looks to see what McCain will do because his party is devided on his issue, and he has not been very successful in bringing them together on many issues. He is in a pickle. Does he do what is best for the nation, or does he do what the far righ want knowing that moderate Republicans and Democrats have already agreed on what needed to be done?

The reason they did not want McCain back.  Barney slipped in a clause: 20% of all the money goes to ACORN.  John McCain believes in all Americans not the crooks and bums.
