No "Bailout bill" must be brought to the floor *until* McCain and top Repubs endorse it
Otherwise, they will use it to run against us, and it *will* help them.

I'm not the only one to feel this way:

1. It must either be totally bipartisan or no deal.

Everyone on board or let the economy seize up.

I don't care if we do go into another depression.

Maybe then the country will never vote for a republican again.

Like EVER.

2. K+R yes...i agree, they must demand the votes, especially of mccain
and the top leadership, not only the votes, but they must endorse it before it gets to the floor...or no fucking deal.

this is truly a trap and the repukes are wily enough to pull it off...i hope pelosi/reid/obama are smart enough to smell this.

4. Is there a precedent for House and Senate rules that require 2/3rds to sign on as endorsers
before a bill can reach the floor for votes?

I don't remember ever hearing about such a rule. This idea may be just the thing to ensure Republicans don't leave Democrats holding the bag with Dubya and company, a month before a Presidential election.
