McCain says the world will collapse if he doesn't go and get involved, and that the bill would not pass as currently constructed, even though he's not even on the relevant committee.
As McCain has been acting like a complete nutcase for the past 24 hours, I'm inclined to believe Obama. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
It's as if they had caved on everything the Dems would have demanded in 2002 just to get the Iraq war authorisation. A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
They drank the kool-aid.
Oh - but never mind, Le Canard Enchainé reported Wednesday that French traders that come back to France and work between one day and one month (but not more) in France after losing their job in the UK apparently get indemnified on the basis of their UK salary - ie they get the ASSEDIC ceiling which is around 5000 eruos per months. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
House Republicans are saying they are getting 10/1 no/yes calls from their constituents.
Bush has nothing to offer the House Republicans. McCain has no leverage over the the House Republicans. The House Republicans are in full revolt against their leadership.
Prognosis: No Deal will be reached.
That's that then. McCain and Boehner torpedoed the bill.
Fair enough. It's their funeral.
The Dems should load the bill up with every little thing they could ever want, throw it on the table, and say, "This is our only offer, assholes. Take it or leave it, it's your funeral." Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
By the way, do you have a link to those UK betting site aggregators? Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
incidentally, the more tab at the top of that page gives current odds being offered by each individual bookmaker on a state by state basis as well. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Meanwhile, McCain and Idiot have moved the economy front and center. That's an issue Dems win by double digits.
Since No Deal then McCain either backs off on his No Debate pledge or gives Obama 2 hours free TV time.
Hey! I'll take it all.
