CNN

Are they for real?? Send out a e-mail to all the republican donors and ask them to send $5, $10, $25, McCain can even claim it was his idea. LOL
Oh I forgot he said he agreed to take only public money.LMAO

No he can't use this Virginia Communist tax money.

The Few, The Proud, The Morons who support the repulthugs get on the bus with Palin and go North to Alaska.
Take McBomb with ya. Before ya'all go be sure to read about yor "war hero'- -just blog–Vietnam Veterans Against McCain and read the whole story.

Remember...Remember.. Remember 2000 election where some people were register both as Republican and Democratic at the same time. The state with the hanging chad . Florida,, no no That were Acron?

Don't waste your money.

Same old republican party – buy their votes when they don't have a message for the people.

The richest few percent in this country get the bulk of tax breaks, loopholes and tax credits so of course they want to "invest" in their republican congressmen. The republican party has always been a party of the rich but, they always welcome the uninformed.

Who are the GOP paying off to swing the local elections. AMERICANS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!!!

Leave it to republicans to give their failing representatives welfare checks so they can compete with Democrats. Republicans should recognise that they need to grow up before they can join the adults from the kiddie table.

Ha! Ha! Ha! No one wants to donate to them because they are losers!

For Jacob:

No. The Democrats have NOT been in control of the House or the Senate. They have a SIMPLE majority; not enough to override a presidential Veto, nor enough to override a Republican filibuster. Therefore they have not been "in control."

DON'T GIVE THEM A LOAN!!! THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PAY YOU BACK!

Have any of you thought where john mc cain go his by word. my friends. remember phil gramm all ways started out mah friends. and now he is mc cains cheif economic advisor. and all you republicans hollering about acorn, your boy mc cain is right in the middle of it. he said he would hire no lobbiest and now thet is all yhat he has on his team, and just think if palin is some how god forbid was to become v. p. you would also get todd, then we would have two v.p.s. any one voting for the mc cain palin ticked needs a brain transplant.

Even if Dems don't get 60, Repubs will not be the same in this generation. They are fragmented, not only because their base is too narrow, but because there are a number of Repubs who are willing to break with the party at key times. They can no longer discipline their ranks.

Result – a Congress that responds to issues, not party interests.

Com'on folks, we are all in this together. I too, wonder where the money is coming from. We can only blame ourselves for living above our means. We need to learn how to make do with what we have or can earn by ourselves. Our grandparents were self supporting without credit.

How are they gonna repay it if they have NO jobs come November!?

The Democrats need 10 new Democratic Senators...one extra so they can dump Joe Leiberman and let him caucus with McCain!!!!

Jacob –
No, the dems have not been in power for awhile. They have had a one (counting Lieberman) vote majority for almost two years. With a republican president and a one vote majority, the dems are powerless.

So no, the dems have not been in power for awhile. Think about the six years of Bush and the rep controlled congress, that was power and see where it left us?

Rupert Murdoch to the rescue!!

Silly republicans so so slow, The dems have been gearing up to keep and take seats for a while now, especially with Hillpac headed by none other than Hillary.

At least three of McCain's GOP colleagues have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief.
Smith, the former senator from New Hampshire, has said that McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him."
Sen. Domenici of New Mexico has said he doesn't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger."
And Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi weighed in that "the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."

That is waht the Rethuglicans do... throw money at a situation versus ideals .... what ever I hope the funds don't come out of my tax dollars....

McCains biggest mistake was being honest and keeping his word on accepting public financing. He should have gone back on his word when it was politically prudent to do so like.........Obama. Obama doesn't care what he says, he just cares about what he says at the time. It's all about convienence McCain. Come on, your going up against a Democrat.

Throwing good money after bad all the way around. Glad I nveer check that box on my tax return. I reserve the right to give to the candidate of my choice. For a party that preaches against big government and fiscal responsibility they sure don't practice what they preach.

William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

The two lobbyists who McCain aide William Timmons worked closely with over a five-year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein’s government.

During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

Republicans in power in Congress from 1994-2006.
Republican president in the White House from 2001-2009.
Democrats in power in Congress from 2006-2008.

Don't try to blame all the recent economic problems on Democrats only.

Jacob: take a look at recent history. Since 1980 there have been 20 years of Republican Presidents to 8 years of Democratic Presidents. Republicans have been the majority controllers of both houses of Congress for most of that time as well.

Look at that, the GOP raises enough money for themselves but have no choice and hook Senator McCain up. So much for the Maverick and his ideas...

By the way, where the heck is all this money is coming from??? I just thought about that! LOL!!!

Heaven help the taxpayers who actually pay taxes if the liberal Democrats get their super majority and a rubber stamp president too.

If they would campaign like grownups, and nix all those negative ads, the money they do have would go a lot farther!

Hey Jacob, you ignoramus, the Dems have had control of congress for less than two years.

Before that, George W. had two republican congresses, one of which was labeled the worst "do nothing" congress in American history.

There's plenty of blame to go around, but don't try and tag the democrats with this economic disaster we've been left with!

That's like a frat lighting their own house on fire and then blaming the firemen as they burst through the door to put out the fire!

AHAHAHAHA After foiling any hopes McCain may have had in this election (and there weren't many) with a slew of negative ads, the RNC is abandoning him to try and save all their sinking ships in congress.

If I was a republican congressman, I wouldn't want their "help" after seeing what they did to McCain!

McCain is so long in the wind and he need to fade away like a good soldier, his allowance of hate speech, and the constant lies has hurt our country, we look so goofy to the world, and he put a complete nutcase from Alaska who put her son in danger on the ticket.

Proof that Americans no longer support Republicans!

The Republicans have destroyed themselves and America over the last 8 years!

A comedy troupe is holding a going away party for George Bush in San Francisco. Maybe the Repubs can ask for donations. George Bush – one fine mess. Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive. He will go down in history as the most inept, corrupt, cronie-plagued idiot that ever sat in the White House. That's why Obama looks so good – because Bush looks so bad. I have a feeling Obama is probably as inept as Bush in the leadership department.

The Republicans Always Claim Fiscal Conservation, Then They Borrow And Spend Leaving The Debt To Our Children! People Are Not Donating To The Republican Campaigns Because They Dont Want You In Office Anymore! Spend All Your Money On The Lame Mccain Horse So You Can Loose Your Seats All Around!

Isn't that Ironic!

The Republicans are against money to Save the American Economy, but they want Money to Save Themselves! The Hypocrits!

"have the Dems not been in control for a while now??????"

No, they haven't, I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Sure, they control congress but Bush can veto anything he doesn't like.

Are they really spending all the money on McCain?

I had read elsewhere that they were spending less and less on his behalf as his chances looked worse and as senate and house folks needed more help.

I got something that may help you to decide who's to blame for this mess. I just hope it be posted.

That is an interesting way to do fundraising...just take it from the people, in the form of a loan...priceless.

Just like Bush's policy for the last 8 years: overspend, borrow, overspend, borrow.

I'm sure they'll find a way for the taxpayers to bail them out too!

So Republicans can take out a loan for millions of dollars to try and stop Democrats from making gains in the Senate, but the average American can't get a car or a home loan because of the credit squeeze? AMAZING.

The last time we had a democrat president and a filibuster-proof Senate was when Jimmy Carter was president. Loved the double-digit inflation, high unemployment and 12-16% mortgages that were available at that time. Gee, I hope it happens again.

No credit crunch or freeze for them I guess... They must still be solvent, unlike the banks they used to control I guess

Does the trickle down economy apply to politicans running for office? I thought the last two attempts to push capital gains tax decrease would surely have increase the GOP contributions.
Maybe they see that in tough times, the greedy become stingy...

This is a joke..right????????????

What are you people talking about? They are talking about borrowing on a line of credit – no taxpayer money. Apparently the minds Democrats instantly think immediately of handouts as they're trained to do – just like Hillary doing her trained seal act trying to get a handout from Obama.

I intend to vote for Obama. BUt in the senate I will vote for Cornyn. He has been a good senator with right policies (of course, he had to cheerlead war, but what can he do?)

I am so sick of Dems saying that we are in the mess we're in because of the Republicans.........have the Dems not been in control for a while now?????? I hope and pray to God that America can get its act together.

I think it should be illegal for any political party to take a loan in order to raise campaign funds, especially in light of this current economic crisis which was fueled by lenders lending to people who could not pay them back. If they get the loan and it does not work, who would be paying it back? We would, and that is just horse manure.

One question, are republicans not supposed to be fiscal conservatives ?? So why the heck borrow money and live over your means ??

I would seriously hope that the GOP has as much trouble getting a loan as the rest of us citizens have had since the economic crash.

For the records, I vote NO to a GOP bailout/rescue plan! (I figured I would get my NO vote in before they even make a pitch for another 4,733 trillion dollars).

I guess they're running scared!

"Llimited spending" also turned out to be a farce for GOP Republicans. These borrow-and-spend habits created record-breaking deficits while in majority. Eight is enough of their nonsense!

WHEN ARE VOTERS GOING TO WAKEUP AND STOP PUTTING THE SAME OLD THEIVES BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Money for campaigns but to heck with the folks they help put out on the streets.

Acorn has registered voters for almost the past 2 years. The repubs have the voter fraud history in 2000 and 2004.

The present crap in the registrations are most likley repubs behind the push. Look back at the past and make up your oun mind. Republicans undermind the registrations

Tell the Republicans don't waste the money – most of them already know that they are toast.

To AMAZED

This is our money!, And McCain and his crooks put those fake voter registrations out there, even though was has worked with ACORN too!

If the republicans are suppose to be for less gov.spending then why ask for a gov. loan.This is proof that people are tired of their out of control spending now they have proof through their campaigns that they can not even budget their finances in that dept. either.This is the reason we are in the mess we're in now.They have been so busy helping each other get rich that they have not learned that there are people in the middle and on the bottom of the ladder trying to get to the top also.They are pretty desperate now but that is what greed gets them.If they were not trying to see to it that the CEO'S got there big bonuses maybe they could have gotten them to loan them some of the money they have swindle the American people out of .

Think of how they always drop businesses and get a new name when their businesses fail, they file for bankruptcies and never pay the money back. We owe China 4 Trillion dollars and they want to borrow more money from people who hate us how sad can you get, they want to leave this debt for our children which is now 83,000 per person this is completely crazy!

ONE MORE THING: THE NATIONAL DEBT IS OVER ..........

$10 TRILLION........ WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM REPUBLICANS?

ANSWER: CHINA......SAUDI ARABIA........DUBAI.

THEY SHOULD NOT GET A DIME!! GO FUNDRAISE LIKE ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES DO! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!!!! THEY SHOULD BE VERY WORRIED ITS BECAUSE OF THE REPUBLICANS THAT WE ARE IN THE MESS WE ARE IN NOW!! REALLY?!!!!!!!

The GOP want to borrow but don't want to give the American people a dime!! They have already stole enough!! If everyone of them will give back what they stole. We could make up our deficit!!

While they are investigating Acorn. They need to be investigated themselves!!!

Well that is how the Republicans do business, they never use their own money to run a business, they always use other peoples money even if those people are going broke, losing their homes, cars and jobs!

If the republicans can't get their constituents to donate to their re-election campaign, that must mean no one wants republicans in office, so why should the taxpayers be stuck with the bill???????
Enough of this bailout non-sense already!!!!!!!!!

Well that is who Republicans do business, they never use their own money to run a business, they always use other peoples money even if those people are going broke, losing their homes, cars and jobs!

I hope they reach 60. WE need to kick out all these ELEPHANTS who want free WELFARE peanuts for GREED on Wall STREET.

Every time you vote an elephant out, it's like getting rid of SCROOGE.

McCain's slime has hit the fan!!!

Is McCain taking the GOP down with him on his free fall?

"We will rather not discuss the Economy" what did McCain and Sister Sarah discuss on the stump? They stirred up the base with base words, FEAR, HATRED, DIVISIVE language, Close call to anarchy....Whoa, Whoa..that was scarry!!

Now the GOP will pay for the sins of these overtly ambitious but Unqualified duo.

God bless America.

I thought the credit markets were 'frozen'. Where are the Republicans finding loan money?

Money for what? For commercials full of lies, distortions, and scare tactics to frighten the uneducated?

She flew over 8 hours back to Alaska to ensure that her child would be a native born Alaskan!

All the Republicans are concern about is keeping their seats while people are losing their houses and NOW THEY WANT TO TAKE OUT A LOAN. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, what is this world coming to.. Are the Republicans that afraid of Obama getting into the office and shaking up that good ole boys club.

Americans this is serious, let's get Obama elected so he can clean house.

Will the GOP ever quit borrowing more money? You would think the past 8 years would have given them a clue.

What bank would take it?

It's not a good debt.

Why would we allow the Republicans to put into law a bill to help just their people and not the American people, who do they think they are that they care only for getting their people elected.

Anyone who votes for it is a traitor to America and a total sellout for their party!

If they can't fundraise for themselves, then too bad...don't they have connections and lobbyist friends that they can call?

Leave the taxpayers alone!!!!

You don't mind ACORN buying votes for Obama, though, do you?

typical.

hypocrites

This isn't a problem that you can just throw money at and it will go away. The GOP put themselves in this position over the past 8 years and voters will remember than going into the booth.

NO MORE MONEY FOR REPUBLICANS. THEY CAUSED ALL OF THIS SO LET THEM SUFFER NOW. THEY ASK AMERICANS TO TIGHTEN UP THEIR PURSE STRINGS, WELL THE SAME TO YOU. AS FOR MCCAIN/PALIN, HOW ON EARTH COULD THIS COUNTRY COME UP WITH 2 IGNORANT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY SAREH. THIS IS A TRAVESTY.

NO – NOT THIS TIME ! Republicans are ruining this country and taking away our freedom and our money.

Is this another case of Republicans abandoning thier historical opposition to deficit spending? It's another case of spending money they don' t have to correct problems of their own creation. It's been Bush's policy – is it now the official policy of the Republican party?

Please read the article entitled "Make-Believe Maverick" in the October 16th edition of the Rolling Stones magazine. Even though they're a popular music publication, they've had some remarkable insight into the political arena.

I dare you to read it "That one is a friend of Karl Marxs too"

And by the way, it's only voter fraud if all the make-believe people show up and vote with make-believe ID's...idiots

Virginia will be completely Blue and there is nothing the GOP can do about it.

The Republican party has deteriorated over the past 8 years almost to the point of no return. Had McCain ran an honest campaign and made a sensible selection for VP then it might not have been such a disaster.

The problem the GOP has now is they have absolutely no credibility with anyone either in the U.S. or world wide. They have made themselves into a joke and purveyors of hate and division.

Remember the old days when the Republican machine was a lock-step monster?

LOL.... Now I know what it was like to watch the other party devour themselves with in-fighting and stupidity.

I can only pray that the Democratic party will remember this lesson a bit longer this time.

Then again, power corrupts.

Screw that...no way, no how, no McCain, No Palin and no repubs!

Now the GOP wants a bailout?

IT IS CALLED BUYING THE ELECTION. IF THEY DO THIS I HOPE AMERICA NEVER VOTES ANOTHER REPUBLICAN INTO OFFICE. EVER!!!!

The loan could be 1 trillion dollars and what's that going to do? NOTHING!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

I'll yell fraud so loud you'll hear it from here if ONE PENNY goes to ANY republican incumbent. NO NO NO NO NO

You cannot buy ANY ELECTIONS THIS TIME !!

Give Phil Gramm or Rick Davis a call...I'm sure they know some people who know some people...

I don't want my tax dollars helping John McCain in any way, shape or form.
I have donated to Obama because I believe in him. Not McCain.

This is just Nuts !!

It is time to send the Republicans packing. They and Bush have made a mess out of our country. McCain and Palin, you should be ashamed of yourself for inciting hate and race into this campaign. My vote is going to Barack and my man Joe Biden...

It will not help you Gas and Oil Party (GOP), Your time is done, ya greedy bastids, it's time for the party that cares for the little people, not the rich, the Democratic Party.

Will this loan be refunded as part of the bail out?

They can restructure the loan so that when they get nothing for the $5M, the government will keep them from being underwater. . . .
