Why are we even discussing this?

McCain meets with business executives to discuss the bailout package and stands firm on no “golden parachutes’ for the CEOs of the failed companies.

That’s fine for McCain to stand his ground. I respect him for that. But I don’t think it goes far enough. What I’d like to see, and I think I speak for the majority of Americans when I say this, is for those CEOs to be paraded to the National Mall, stripped naked, tarred and feathered and be pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables until they’re buried. Then they’re dug out of the pile of stinking vegetation, loaded into a van and driven to every major city in the country so they can be pelted again and again.

I bet the crowds would be huge. They could charge a buck to get in and there wouldn’t be any need for a taxpayer bailout.

    On Monday McCain said “We won’t solve a problem caused by poor oversight with a plan that has no oversight.”

    On Tuesday McCain said “further inaction is simply not an option.”

    So, let me see if I understand his intentions today, he wants to cancel a debate with Obama & suspend all further politcal ads (pending agreement from Obama) to rush back to D.C. and help get this $700 Billion bailout rammed through congress?

    Gee thanks McCain, thanks for demonstrating what is yet to come from your administration regarding expansion of government and increasing national debt. You’re just as bad as those socialistic Democrats, maybe worse.

    Whoa - a Democratc Representative from Eugene, OR with some common financial sense - how is this possible?

    Meanwhile McCain will try to figure out a way to ram this through for his pal Pres. Bush - it’s maddening I tell you.

    “Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.”

    This is the 5th plank of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.

    Is America turning into China? WTF

    We are all doomed. However, I do like the idea of charging admission to a public flogging of sorts.
