It's a trap! Newt Gingrich Gave It Away Early This Week

[kpete]

It’s been telegraphed for a while now, so Obama’s camp is well aware of it. They’ve got to have some plan for this occurance, and the Democratic leadership will, as well.

This is Newt Gingrich on this issue On September 23, 2008:

He said the interesting break to watch will be whether or not Republican presidential candidate John McCain votes for the bill. "And either McCain will reluctantly go along, and I think (Barack) Obama is clearly going to go along, or you’re going to see McCain decide much the way he did with picking (Alaska Gov. Sarah) Palin that in fact he’s a genuine maverick and he genuinely defends the taxpayer and this is a terrible bill," he said.

"If the latter happens, I think you will see, overnight, the emergence of a McCain-reform wing of the Republican Party and you’ll see House and Senate members siding with McCain by overwhelming margins. And then you’ll be in a very different political environment. I mean, all of a sudden you’ll have Bush-Obama ads on the one side, and taking on the ‘Bush-Obama establishment’ on the other side and that will be, frankly, one of the more amazing elections in our history."

McCain says a deal has to be reached immediately or we'll hit a Depressions, so...

he can't do nothing now. If he wants to vote against the agreement, he first needs to have an alternative planned backed by many Republicans. It's more likely that McCain is going to take credit for this, but I think his true goal was to get rid of the VP debate.

6. In 1832, the House (lead by Henry Clay) set up Andrew Jackson.

They sent him a bill to recharter the Bank of the U.S. They thought he'd be forced to sign it.

However, he vetoed it and in his veto message said he was trying to support the common man. You think this is what McCain is trying to do by potentially voting against this?
