Question: Does McCain even have a say in this bailout...?

[imax2268]

or is this entirely the House Financial Services Committee's decision...?

1. Barney Frank has complete control over moving it to the floor for a vote.

McAncient has as much control over the process as you do.

2. that's what I thought...

he's saying he's going to help negotiate a deal...how can he do that if he's not even on the committee...?

Nothing more then a political stunt...

8. He's still here in New York, he never even showed up for the negotiations!

:rofl:

3. No. This man hasn't made a visit to Congress, his JOB, in many

months. He's an admitted bonehead on the economy, yet we need his 'leadership' to guide us? He has to cancel a debate on 'foreign policy', his STRONG POINT, to solve this dilemma? This 'dilemma' that's been going on for about 10 days?

His concern is touching. Ha!

5. not in Congress since April

That's what MSNBC said.

6. I added more: I'm pissed. This guy is worse than

a politician. He's a user, of all of us, with no thought to any consequences. He's truly disgusting.

[grasswire]

4. nada

Apparently he has nothing to do but vote the bill.

Pure grandstanding.

7. If McCain announces he's against the bill, that would persuade...

...other Senators and Congresspersons to do the same.

[babylonsister]

10. Including Dems. That's the point. Democrats aren't going to

sign off on anything unless McCain is, maybe because he's the leader in deregulation. :D

Also because they don't want their tactics to backfire. He's with us or he's with us. Dems are getting smart.

[curious one]

9. The whole was designed to give McLame boost. But it backfired and he has no control.

Suspending campaign was done to look presidential but now he look like a fool.
