McCain is still pushing his government purchase of mortgages...
McCain: No there there for Obama

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/10/mccain_no_there.html

In his first post-debate appearance, John McCain promoted his plan to have the federal government directly buy mortgages and refinance them at lower interest rates to help beleaguered homeowners.

"We need to act quickly and decisively," he told voters in Bethlehem, Pa.

McCain also continued his assault on Democratic rival Barack Obama, questioning whether there is any substance or record to back up his call for change.

He said change will happen no matter the result on Nov. 4, so the real issue is "Who is ready to lead?"

McCain said Obama does not answer questions about his past or his proposals. "It's not clear what he has done, or what he will do," he said.

1. the only fair way to do that
would be to reduce everyone's loan to value and set a fixed interest for everyone. and there's no way they could do that

2. McCain has mastered the art of projection.
He rails against bear DNA earmark projects that he voted for, thinks Bush should veto a bill that he voted for the day before, says that he wouldn't vote for his own immigration bill today...who's being shady here?
