Nobody likes this bailout, neither the Left, nor the right. Nick may be giving the Right more credit than they deserve, but for the most part, his point is valid. McCain pulled yet another Hail Mary pass, betting everything on the deal going through today. It's looking like that deal won't happen, but he's also now agreed to go on with the debate, so maybe the damage is only limited, but he certainly did himself no favors. That's basically what Nick said, only perhaps slightly less harsh. Actually, I don’t think Nick is full of crap here… Nobody likes this bailout, neither the Left, nor the right.

Not one Republican close to the negotiations has said ANYTHING about doing anything for mainstreet. They have had two issues--a "supposed" philosophic objection to federal intervention in the private market and the overall cost. It was the Dems who told Paulson to shove his plan unless it did something for Mainstreet. The original plan was a GOP administration pile of cow dung as it stood, the Dems made some positive changes (but the bill is still a total turd mountain) and now you have a handful of GOP jerks who have been abusing the hell out of the system for years who suddenly find themselves heading back to their districts just before an election and they need to reaffirm their bogus conservative credentials. It's one thing to be a conservative leaning blogger, and while I will disagree with you most of the time, I can appreciate that, but you have stepped across the line with this blatent piece of partisan propaganda. Do enough for mainstreet, indeed. You sir are full of it. Nick,

You are so full of crap I don’t even know how you can look yourself in the mirror.
