Flip This Mortgage Plan!

John McCain takes a ride on the Pander Express! He delivers different messages to Ohio voters and TV cameras:
Despite his criticism this week of government intervention in the mortgage and foreclosure crisis, Republican presidential candidate John McCain sounded friendlier toward struggling homeowners last month when he campaigned in Ohio.
[...]
The presumptive Republican nominee, who described himself as a "Roosevelt Republican" during the interview, said he was willing to "provide more relief" to homeowners who can't afford increases in mortgages because of their adjustable interest rates.
That's a different tone from the rhetoric he used Tuesday during a speech in which he suggested homeowners facing foreclosure have only themselves to blame.
And McCain's Stick-A-Bandaid-On-It approach just isn’t going to cut it. Here's what the LA Times says about his plan simply applying pressure for lenders to help voluntarily: "The Bush administration is already applying that pressure, but even when lenders comply, they're hampered by the scale and complexity of the problem."

McCain is a liar! He has no integrity in this area. Remember he is Mr. Saving and Loan Scandal!
mccain doesn't need to know economy 101
mccain himself admitted he wasn't an "economy guy." he's the "warrior guy."
yes, the focus of most americans is the economy. iraqmire is 2nd. so, put one and one together, the more we spend in iraq the less money for our economy. yet, that's not the reporting by the major networks.
why is the above not the focus of the media?
that answer is obvious ... what is? well, it's hillary and barack doing politics 101 by slandering each. no matter what we say on this strand of the blog, as long as hillary and barack fight ... for the media news folks, the economy is 2nd, iraqmire 3rd ... and the two demos at each other is 1st.
so, be prepared demos for mccain being the president and the economy to suffer with iraqmire, potential saber rattlin with iran, russia, and china.
yep, great job barack and hillary. karl rove couldn't have planned this better ... the repubs couldn't have asked for a better senerio, a divided demo party that may even carry to 2012.
perhaps barack and hillary never heard the phrase "it's the economy stupid!"
**__D__Cactus___ is insane long wiht macain both need treatment at a State Hospital for teatment. in arizona
