Wrong: McCain on Bailout

I am very upset that apparently John McCain would support the bailout in any way.

From the article, 'Obama: McCain's Role in Bailout 'Katrina-Like'
by the AP, Monday, September 29, 2008
at http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/29/mccain-obama-reluctant-accepting-bailout/:

"Let's get this deal done, signed by the president, and get moving, because the real effect of this is going to restore some confidence, and get some credit out there, and get the economic system moving again, which is basically in gridlock today," McCain told "This Week" on ABC.

McCain said the $700 billion bailout for the hobbled financial markets "is something that all of us will swallow hard and go forward with. The option of doing nothing is simply not an acceptable option." Obama said he was inclined to back it "because I think Main Street is now at stake."

Wrong John!

It is fundamentally wrong to distribute the debt and responsibility for bad decisions and poor judgment to all tax payers and to rob from those responsible the lessons learned; to deny them the experience to improve their judgment so that the same mistakes are not made again. This imposes undue burden on individuals that impedes their ability to pursue happiness and hampers their liberty.

Bad John!

Here is what I sent to him a few minutes ago via his website at www.johnmccain.com/contact

I am angry that you would support any kind of a bailout for wall street. It is simply wrong.

It makes me want to take down the McCain/Palin signs that I have in my yard and rip off the bumper stickers on my cars. Who knows, he may yet anger me so much that I may not vote for him on election day. Now, don't think that that means that I'll vote for Obama. There's simply no way in hell that that would ever happen.
