McCain's "Five Basic Improvements" To Bailout Leg
John McCain in Freeland, MI, this afternoon listed the "five basic improvements" he requires of legislation being crafted to address the nation's economic crisis:
1. Greater oversight
2. Path for taxpayers to recover the money put into this fund
3. Complete transparency in the review and implementation of the legislation
4. No Wall Street execs should profit from taxpayer dollars
5. No earmarks included in the bill
McCain twice passed on questions about possible deal-breakers. When told that some Dems have said they want the GOP nom on board with the plan or they'd have to vote 'no,' McCain said: "I hope that Democrats would recognize that this issue should not be in any way related to my vote. This issue and their vote should be determined in how we can resolve this crisis and get America going again. ... To somehow for the Democrats to say that their vote is going to be gauged on my vote, frankly doesn't do them a great deal of credit."

RFK, Jr.: “Let me tell you about one other of these scams people should know about. If you’re a newly registered voter - and of course the Democrats have done these gigantic registration drives - 12 million people on registration - if you’re a new voter you MUST include your license or some other state I.D. when you come to vote. What that means is that if you’re a college kid (and college kids now - they’re sending in absentee ballots - they’re not going to the voting place, they do everything online or they do everything remotely - they don’t dream of going to the precinct house voting on election day and waiting in a long line) so if they send in the absentee ballot and they don’t include a color copy of their license their vote is going to be thrown into a trash can. And none of these people know this because you have had to read the law in order to know it. So there is no notification for when you fill out your registration form, so all of those 12 million people that the Democrats have registered: those ballots are going to be just thrown out.
