McCain campaign statement on the failed vote - you won't believe it

[ps1074]

“From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families.

“Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill.

“Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome.

“This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.”

—McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin

1. lol back on message with more projection

[phantom power]

2. That's not just believable, it's predictable.

The GOP always blames is fuck-ups on the Democrats.

It often works, too.

[medicswife]

3. It's not going to work when even Joe Scarborough and that

cross-eyed strategist are both saying that McCain will take a massive hit for this. He doubled down and he lost.

[phantom power]

4. dupe

[phantom power]

dupe

[scheming daemons]

5. The Democrats should come right back and PASS it without GOP support....

And then take control of the issue again.

[amborin]

10. good idea

[Curtland1015]

6. What a shock.

Guess what shithead McCain? No one is going to believe it.

[Sannum]

8. McCain and rethugs are pure EVIL---what are we doing to

put the blame where it belongs????

[beachmom]

9. So the McCain campaign came up with the "Pelosi hurt our feelings" ploy?

Wow, what a pathetic statement.

[Alhena]

That's GOOD- he's on the record as saying the bailout was good for the country

I'd be worried if he were opposing the bailout- that's more politically popular.

[ecstatic]

11. dems better tear him a new one. period. nt

[Jennicut]

12. Blaming Pelosi for failure to deliver the Rethug votes that McTroll supposedly was going to deliver

Yeah right.

[riqster]

13. His advisors also said he invented the Blackberry

[TwilightGardener]

14. "Phoned it in"? Mark Salter said on Saturday that McCain did everything by phone that day.

[ClarkUSA]

15. Just wait until Obama/Biden and their surrogates mimic Barney Frank on this whining...

The mocking will be a thing of beauty.

[Debi]

16. and if he says it enough times he'll actually start believeing it!

17. They have been silent this whole time and this is what they have to say...

to break the silence? I can imagine them shitting their pants trying to come up with something to say. :rofl:

[Window]

18. That camp pain has finally snapped and completely lost it's ever-lovin' mind.

[Shine]

19. Hilarious.

:rofl: what a fucking joke!

[Sorceress]

30. Well...they had to say something...

If the whole "You hurted our feeeeeeelings" so we are going to hold the economy hostage response is the best they can come up with, they are in deep. Everyone will see through that.

What's with Brian Williams bringing Pelosi's remarks up on NBC? He totally implied it was Pelosi's fault without even expressing a smidgeon of outrage that these f@ckers are acting like three year olds. I wouldn't advise him to play that angle, it can't end well for him.

20. Whiny ass babies

Enjoy your DEFEAT assholes. Every senior who lost their retirement while you GOP bastards whine will voice their opinion on November 4th.

[NotThisTime]

21. What a loser....

[yellowcanine]

22. They can say what they want. It is kind of like the guy caught shagging a woman by his wife.....

"Who you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

[BrotherBuzz]

23. More fuzzy math

Democrats voted 141 to 94 in favor of the plan, while Republicans voted 65 to 133 against. :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

24. Desperate. They are truly desperate.

:rofl:

[Miss Chybil]

25. Boo hoo hoo!

Get over it. Either we need this bill, or we don't. If we need it and the Republicans didn't vote because they didn't like what Pelosi said, or what Obama did, or didn't do, then it is the Republicans who have put politics before country. Imagine that.

[ProSense]

26. "He suspended his campaign..."

To quote John Kerry: "He suspended his campaign, and it took him 22 hours to get from New York to Washington, a one-hour flight..."

[Debi]

27. Airport security is a real pain in the ass!

[jberryhill]

31. Do you have any idea how long it takes to wind the rubber band on the McCain aeroplane? /nt

[bluesmail]

28. Sounds like they, and I mean neocons collectively

have only a few of what's left in the bottom of the barrel attackers left.

[Schulzz]

29. He really has no shame - Obama would not even have been in Washington.

He just went there for McCain's photo-up.

“This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.”

They are really desperate. It was the GOP who voted 2:1 against it...

[NYC Liberal]

32. So McCain is saying the Republicans voted based on what Nancy Pelosi said

in a speech?

Sorry. That shit ain't flying. They really are desperate.
