Nobody's buying: Repubs pushing the meme McCain made the deal happen.

[Lex]

No one. Not even the lapdog mainstream media. Not even Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC just now.

So pathetic.

Evidently this is a planned thing by the Repubs. McCain was supposed to sweep into DC, then the Repubs would announce a deal was made. Then McCain would take the credit for it.

[Jennicut]

1. Nobody is gonna buy this load of crap they are shilling

Only the Freepers will buy it cause they are brainwashed.

[Cha]

2. So that's what this whole charade by mcchicken was about?

So he could get the credit for the big deal?

[Lex]

5. Oh yes. A Republican spokesman on with Andrea Mitchell saying McCain's

help made the deal happen. Period.

The Democratic spokesman and Andrea Mitchell nearly laughed out loud.

No one's buying, though.

[Raschel]

28. That's what I figured

and posted. I hope many others posted it too, here and all over the internet. We needed to get this B.S. out in the open before they tried to claim McCain is the hero.

Man, they are scum.

[Lex]

31. This is McCain being "non-partisan" I guess.

OMG. Scum is right.

[SuperTrouper]

3. Andrea Mitchell was smiling but she did not call them out as hypocrits

[FVZA_Colonel]

6. She may not have, but I get the feeling she thought they were.

I can understand why she might not have.

[SuperTrouper]

Why not? Even Katie Couric would have called him on that

[Lex]

10. Just the way she treated the guy was like

"you are FOS"

[Lex]

7. She got some shots in. She and the Dem guy on were nearly LOL.

nt

[Thrill]

4. Obama should vote against it. No matter what

[onenote]

11. Not. Going. To. Happen.

[medicswife]

8. hahahaha Yeah, I just heard Andrea telling Tucker that he was full of shit. nt

[Lex]

12. "Tucker, Tucker, Tucker . . . " nobody believes you.

this is comical

[writes3000]

26. Which Tucker? Tucker Bounds? nt

[Lex]

30. yes

lying his arse off

[nc4bo]

9. The Corpmedia & Repukes are causing several holes to open up in the ozone today. nt

[Lex]

15. I hope they ask the ones who actually worked on this if McCain made it happen.

I hope they ask the Rs and the Ds (esp. Barney Frank) what McCain contributed.

[Meshuga]

13. Saying that McCain is responsible for the deal is just as ridiculous as saying

...McCain invented the blackberry. It should be mocked!

[Lex]

14. Haha, yes! He invented the Blackberry and came up with the bailout deal.

:rofl:

[patrice]

16. Can't wait to see/hear Letterman's take on this tonight!!

[Cha]

21. Exactly! mccain's cheap lies to Dave Letterman will be

the gift that keeps on giving.

[Lex]

25. and Dave will keep on talking about it

all the way up to the election, and beyond

he was way pissed off

[Lex]

17. LOL---now the R leadership is saying no deal yet.

McCain hasn't coordinated his self-congratulation with the R leadership evidently.

[jenmito]

18. They're claiming that the deal was in BIG trouble UNTIL McCain announced he was going to suspend

his campaign to solve the problem. And only then did the deal get done. :eyes:

[Lex]

19. But now the R leadership is saying there's no deal yet.

They are stepping all over each other on this.

[jenmito]

24. Yeah-just to try to make McCain look relevant when the deal is officially done.

:eyes:

[nc4bo]

20. This is all BULLSHIT!!! Mccain arrives and all hell breaks loose. nt

[Lex]

22. McCain is trying to take the "glory" on this

but there's no glory in this effing deal to be had.

[Ganja Ninja]

23. That's it?

All these shenanigans just to push this lame meme? They are really shooting blanks aren't they.:eyes:

[Lex]

27. Yes, I think this was supposed to be a choreographed thing

but I don't think anyone is buying.

Even the press is snickering at this one.

[MarjorieG]

29. Concerned that GOP alternative more populist. If really crisis, GOP politics before policy again

[Alter Ego]

32. They're not buying it?

For real?

Don't mess with me and get my hopes up that the media's actually calling a spade a spade for once.

[Lex]

33. Well Andrea Mitchell wasn't buying, and she usually swallows

whatever the Republicans feed her.

[Mojambo]

34. "Then McCain would take the credit for it."

Take credit for the deal like 11 percent of Americans support?

I almost wish their plan had "worked."

[Lex]

35. Sounds like something his campaign cooked up

that's not so well-thought-out, eh?
