McCain blames Obama and other Democrats for bailout bill failure
The bailout bill failed to pass the House today. The McCain campaign quickly blamed Obama and the rest of the Democrats in Congress. As usual, the McCain campaign is completely divorced from reality. Here are the facts on the House vote:
The vote failed 228 to 205.
Democrats: 140 for, 95 against.
Republicans: 65 for, 133 against.
And it's the Democrats fault? How stupid does McCain think we are?!

Considering that the vote was preceded by a highly inflammatory partisan speech by Darth Pelosi, who spewed false Obama campaign taking points about how the entire calamity is Bushes fault, can you really complain about this?
I mean, our whole way of life is on the verge of collapse, and it's mostly due to the Clinton era agenda of putting hood rats in middle class housing even if they didn't have 10 cents toward a down payment, their credit score was in the toilet, and they lived in an overvalued blighted neighborhood that was seeing increased value due to artificially inflated demand.
Yet the Democrats want to tie the entire liberal mess to Bush, and then tie Bush to McCain... That's not change we can believe in, it's politics as usual.
Garbage, anonymous. If you buy the claim that Pelosi's partisan speech is what killed the bailout bill's passage, you'd have to accept that Republicans voted based on Nancy Pelosi annoying them with a speech rather than on what they thought was best for the country. That's beyond pathetic on their parts if it's true. I don't buy it.
Next, we've had eight years of the Bush administration and six of those years have been a Republican Congress. To blame the current crisis on Clinton policies is just plain asinine. To blame it on the government wanting more mortgages to lower income people displays utter ignorance of the huge role that deregulation and the impact of CDOs on the housing market have played. These factors caused far more mortgages to be given to people who couldn't afford them than any government initiative to get mortgages to lower income people, or as you so elegantly called them, "hood rats".
Eight years of Bush. Six years of those years with a GOP Congress. And it's a "liberal mess"? Now that's just stupid.
