McCain in office would be a McPain

McCain is ready to tackle our financial problems, right?



Hmmmm... The S&L debacle in the 19080's cost US taxpayers $3.4 billion in a bailout in 1989. We, as a nation, paid for that while Charles Keating got to walk away with all that money in the end. Make a buck, Chuck!

Here we are now with the "$700 billion" bailout. Why is it in quotes? Because it's not really $700 billion; it's growing, and the bailout includes golden parachutes for the current day Keatings.

McCain was part of the largest bank scandal up until the current one we're in (Let's be real, it's not a crisis, it's a scandal). McCain, being so intimately wrapped up in the last one would surely have known what another one would smell like, right? He would stop with all the deregulation talk that put the S&L Bailout into play, right?

Don't even get me started on Mike Millikin and the Junk Bond fiasco!

There's a reason why all these people need to be regulated: they are greedy and will rob us all if they have no hard rules to follow. I think they should have to put up collateral like a small business owner would. Imagine, all those fat cats putting up their multi-million dollar homes and Rolls Royces as collateral. Maybe that would make them at least a bit more responsible in their action. Hey, if you love your kids you wouldn't want things like their college fund taken away for your indiscretions, would you?...

Don't bet a worn out sock with holes in it! McCain wants to deregulate everything, from banks to insurance, big oil to pharmaceuticals. If it's big business, he wants to deregulate them and let them do whatever the hell they want. So does Palin. Go head and double check. The info is all there. Right down to their every last vote in office. Right down to every last drop of America's blood, sweat, and tears.

If you think things are bad now, with all the deregulation the Bush administration is responsible for, just put McCain in office and see what happens. Someone said to me, "the Republicans can't make things any worse than they have" in a fit of anger and desperation. I think he's underestimating them.

Hey, it's easy to take good conservative ideas and spin them into lies that benefit the fat cats that want to rip us all off. Smaller, less obtrusive government? It's gotten bigger! The big banks and insurers are state run. That's small! Lower taxes? Well at least the rich get tax breaks! Oh, and golden parachutes! Freedom of speech? Well, just ask Ron Paul about that one! Thanks Fox News! Thanks Bush appointed Supreme Court! Thanks Rupert Murdoch!

The current situation shows that large businesses have gotten better at robbing the public. Think about all the scandals in the past eight years: Enron, Tyco, Adelphia, Exxon, Bridgestone/Firestone and child labor, the list just goes on and on. Think about all the banks right now.

We, as the little people, don't need more government. The corporations... well, they need the government up their asses. Maybe then our troops in the Middle East won't be ordered to take Prozac to numb them from the realities of a war they're now being forced to be in. Yep, they're now being forced. Thanks Prince McCain, for looking out for your compatriots!
