Thats a good point, but when you put off the argument, you run the risk that for one reason or another you wont be able to make it later. You can always bring it up again. Indeed, repetition is a good thing. Democrats have learned the way to win an argument is not by being right, but by making your argument louder and more often.

And believe me, I wish on other issues that Bush had reigned in spending and didn’t add to the budget with more entitlements we can’t afford (ala prescription drug benefits under Medicaire/Medicaid which however laudable we don’t have the money) and cut the budget where he could…but I do know he kept pushing for reform of the GSEs and it fell on deaf ears because of the Dems blocking it..

I sure wish that McCain would keep hammering this point home since Obama’s corrupt team will cost us trillions of dollars to fix a bankrupt system and saddle every taxpayer with cleaning up this mess.

Democratic Congress May Adjourn, Leave Crisis to Fed, Treasury

By Kristin Jensen

Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) — The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn’t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can’t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments — Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven’t ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do” at the moment.

Barack Obama received $126,349 from Fannie Mae.

So much for the politics of change – this isn’t change, it’s checks.  Big ones.  The Fannie Mae CEO admits, back in 2005, that there were serious problems – in the same speech he calls Obama and the rest of the CBC members of the “f…..

You’re forgetting the extraordinarily short attention span of the modern electorate.

Anyone think that Jeremiah Wright is going to be a major influence on anyone’s choice? He’s “Old News.”

The time to make all of one’s best arguments is in the last month. If McCain’s doing it right, we’ll hear all sorts of good arguments in the debate, and then hammering on three or four big themes for the last three weeks to the vote.

Also… the argument isn’t as simple as you (and I) would like it to be. The specific bill McCain did push wouldn’t have prevented this specific crisis. It just would have made the eventual cost to the taxpayer considerably less — but even the argument for that is complicated, and therefore impossible to make over the heads of a hostile media.

Also, I happen to think the worst thing Bush has done wrong in the last eight years has been the massive increases in government spending. Obama wants to spend trillions more, not just on foreign aid, but on universal pre-school, college tuition, socialized health care and subsidies for community organizations. (ahem) We know from experience that Obama likes to use taxpayer dollars to enrich his cronies like Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and Fr. Pfleger. He scored a million dollar earmark for the hospital his wife just happened to be working at.

And to pay for this largesse. Obama proposes massive tax increases on the investor class. How is the economy going to create new jobs if the government is sucking capital out of it? The US already has the second highest corporate income tax in the industrialized world. Obama wants it to be the highest, and he wants more regulation. All this does is drive jobs overseas and discourage foreign companies from locating here, and not to mention crushing the entrepreneurial spirit that makes our economy dynamic.

Forget about teaching sex ed to kindergartners, why can’t we have the schools teach that Marzism is a failed ideology?

This is a gold mine for McCain and Republicans and THEYRE SILENT???

WTF? They should be spending every dime they have on commercials showhing McCain on the Senate floor pushing that bill, show the vote record that proves Democrats blocked it, show the dollar amounts and the democrats that got them

Ugh! Why do Republicans let Democrats get away with murder?

Also, can we please put Jamie Gorelick in prison where she belongs before she singlehandedly destroys the nation?

No one’s buying it, especially since over 90-95% of his voting record has been with Bush’s wants.

But you’re buying into Comrade Obama’s message of “change”, even though he votes the party line 95+% of the time? Even though his campaign is comprised of Clintonistas and longtime Washington liberal hacks?

Is that what you’re telling me?

You can’t blame the democrats when the republicans were in charge of both the legislative and executive branches of government and could have done something about it with their majority in congress. The simple fact is that they had no interest in it. Their mantra has been (and continues to be, in both McCain’s and Palin’s speeches) “no government intrusion, no government oversight” well, that sure as heck isn’t going to help us out of these financial messes.

“Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president that he’ll take on, and I quote, ‘the old boys network in Washington.’ Now I’m not making this up. This is somebody who’s been in Congress for twenty…
