Why Friday Came Early

Is this the death of the Republican Party?
The Meltdown of the Republican Party.

We all know that there is something serious with the economy. We all know that John McCain made a major mistake on September 15th when he clearly stated his belief that the fundamentals are strong. The fact that the Democrats have crossed party lines and embraced President Bush's plan to help the economy in less than one week is nothing short of incredible. The problem is that the health of the Republican Party has deteriorated so rapidly. It can be seen in the bowing down of Paulson to Pelosi. Obama embracing Bush policy. McCain revolting against the leader of his party. This severe meltdown in the health of the economy and the health of the Republican Party are intrinsically linked. How to solve it? The democrats need to stare down the shifty eyed McCain revolt. They must pass the plan and give the Republican President a bill on his desk today.

I would meet Paulson and provide him with all the tools he needs to perform surgery on this economy and extract the cancer that has spread so malignantly though the economy. What if the Paulson Plan actually works really well? What if the timing is right and we are buying securities at a discount and a few years down the road the Housing Market takes off? Home start appreciating at 10% per year in the areas of the country hardest hit where everybody wants to live. California and Florida, Las Vegas. At the same time the voters can vote on the health on the Republican Party. I like Paulson's plan he is gambling on the American People. He is speculating that Americans are going to recover. He seems to be the biggest Patriot of them all. I think if Republicans mess around much more Paulson is going to walk away from all of this. He sure doesn't need the cash. And why would he try to make a new McCain Paln work in 4 months that he already said wont work. He must be feeling like Ceaser right now. Et tu Brutus...

Oh yeah one more thing. The leaders of our country should include one more ear mark that requires People running for President to fully disclose their health. The health of any future presidents is intrinsically tied to our healthy economy. The leader must be healthy from the top down. Cut the cancer out of our economy and let the voters face the meltdown in the leadership of the Republican Party.
