Comments on: It Wasn’t Business; It Was Politics http://neveryetmelted.com/2008/10/05/it-wasnt-business-it-was-politics/ The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. -- D.H.

The Dems, always ready to shift blame and lie like rugs, have sold this to the public as a Republican responsibility. Perhaps McCain wanted to wait until after the bailout to go on the attack, but I suspect it was the mantra of bipartisanship that has held him back. Disgustingly, he and Sarah must go with the default mode of blaming Wall Street. It's bad politics and misplaced ethics. I hope at least one of them is ashamed.
