This quote is taken from a Jim DeMint interview, linked at Rightwingnews. Assuming it's correct info, then the bailout is truly important. Frankly, without this info, I'd be dead set against it. "The biggest creditor is China and that’s a big part of this equation that’s not being talked about. If America was not in such deep debt, we could deal with this problem much more effectively — but China has essentially told the U.S. that we make good on all the debt that they’re holding, which is nearly a trillion dollars, or they’re going to stop lending us money. To show that they’re serious, they’ve already stopped lending us money and if we can’t borrow money every day, literally hundreds of billions of dollars, we default on the loans that are coming due."

Oh, and just so you know, your facts are more than a little bit off. The evidence, as has been amply reported this weekend, is just the opposite of what you said it is. He has been pretty directly involved in the negotiations. Hmmm…so what, exactly, is your theory here?

I found it interesting that it took John McCain 22 hours to arrive in Washington (from NYC), after "suspending his campaign". Where was he all this time (when he wasn't grandstanding on television)? Do you even know where McCain was when final touches were made in the crucial negotiations process? <a href="http://dgrim.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND OUT</a> While that's a pretty interesting tale, I don't think it accurately reflects what actually happened the last few days.
