alw 0 #1 September 24, 2008 Something really wierd happened on the hill today. The GOP members took the safe option and ducked behind McCain saying that McCain would have to sign off on Paulsen's plan for them to get behind it. No surprise it puts all the weight on McCain and shelters them from their constituency. That's not the wierd part. The Democrats started to fracture starting along a House and Senate fault line, but expanding. Early reports said a number of the Democrats said McCain would have to back the plan for them to get behind it. I guess they assumed they could lay off the blame on him like the GOP was doing. When I got past the liberal nut cases on the blogs claiming that McCaim was conceited and presumptuous it came down to this. It had the look that congress was looking to McCain for leadership. I noticed the polls tonight were showing a slight uptick for McCain before this news hit the wires. It will be interesting to see where they are Friday before the debate. --------------------------------------------- Every day is a bonus - every night is an adventure.

The next 72 hours are going to tell us alot. Some reporter some where is going to find out something and do the right thing. When/if that happens, this house of cards is going to come crashing and their will be casualties. And I say this because of the debate of the left and the right. I really believe we all want the truth and the SOB's in the middle of this need to go down. I believe right now the Dems are going to get hurt the worst. But, if I am wrong (and I could be) then R bastards can go just as easily as far as I am concerned. What we dont need is a fall guy. Or we will see this again.........soon, cause too much money is involved"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
