Taking a cue from a friend, this is quite simple and straight forward analysis.

KISS.
Keep It Simple Stupid.
Who would expect to send Hitler to fight Fascism?
Who would believe Stalin would be the guy to fight Communism?
And Who would believe McCain, a 25 year Washington insider with a staff of lobbyists is the guy to "change" Washington?-

I can't imagine anyone would read that & not see that you don't send the guy who voted for bills that allowed our economy to fail, to fix that economy. Not to mention his 'friends' who were involved, and who he would feel obliged to 'protect' from any scrutiny of their possible wrong doing. -

Senator McCain, Mr. Deregulation, suggests that we should have, "more regulation" to stop the bleeding on Wall Street.

Psst, Johnny, you DO realize that deregulation is some of what CAUSED this mess, right? You do remember you supported a lot of it, right? You DO remember that the Republican controlled Congresses of the last ten or twelve years (depending how you count) have given the money men a pass over and over again, right?
Senator McCain was (and is) part of the problem. Why would we want to make him part of the solution?-

Phil Gramm, who 'advises' McCain, pushed deregulation through. McCain voted YES, and Biden voted NO. As evidenced by the fiasco we're now having, McCain was WRONG, and Biden was RIGHT.

So why should most of us care about a bunch of people losing their homes? Because deregulation was like throwing a pebble in a pool & as it ripples outward, it undermined our banking system, devalued our dollar which in turn affected ours and the world's economies, affected the value of our retirement investments & long term investments, & the damage it's doing hasn't finished yet.
That's a big deal. We're all going to pay for McCain's YES vote And if people elect him, those predatory lenders that deregulation allowed to trash our economy will NEVER see a consequence. They'll just lurk in the shadows waiting to drop another CON game on the American people.

Correct Locky12, Lehman Brothers collapse is traced back to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two big mortgage banks that got a federal bailout a few weeks ago. Freddie and Fannie used huge lobbying budgets and political contributions to keep regulators off their backs. A group called the Center for Responsive Politics keeps track of which politicians get Fannie and Freddie political contributions. The top three U.S. Senators getting big Fannie and Freddie political bucks were Democrats and No. 2 is Barack Obama. Now remember, he's only been in the Senate four years, but he's still managed to grab the No. 2 spot ahead of John Kerry - decades in the Senate - and Chris Dodd, who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

Fannie and Freddie have been creations of the congressioanl Democrats and the Clinton White House, designed to make mortgages available to more people and, as it turns out, some people who couldn't afford them. Fannie and Freddie have also been places for big Washington Democrats to go to work in the semi-private sector and pocket millions ...-

Who would have ever imagined that ramming planes into our financial center and our supreme military fortress and then demolishing them to ruble, blaming it on foreign terrorists, invading sovereign countries under the pretext of installing democracy , while all the time operating with borrowed money would destroy our economy

The Bush buddies thought it would be a great thing to go to war and hire private corporations to run the war and make billions while doing it. They don't care about America, just about picking America's pockets clean.
