So much for a return to limited executive power, and checks and balances.
I thank Jed Lewison of the Huffington Post for the following quote .
This is the same John McCain who just a couple of days ago was railing on the $1 trillion price tag of the bailout (when it was actually $700 billion).
But just a few days after railing against the unbridled power of government, McCain now seems to envision the presidency as a dictatorship. He now thinks that Bush should just spend $1 trillion without allowing anyone to ask any questions -- and he supports doing it just one day after the House of Representatives voted down a $700 billion bailout.
This won't surprise anyone on the left. The question I have is this: when are conservatives going to wake up and realize that despite all his bluster about being a conservative, the Republican nominee for president has proposed the single largest expenditure in the history of this nation -- and that he's proposed that it be made without the approval of Congress?

Thinking that those that would vote for a Repub. are paying attention to what a Repub. presidential candidate says is so, like, painfully, sincerely, laughable. Democrats=pay attention; Republicans=not so much.
