CNN has an article on the conservative backlash against John McCain, with this zinger from Michelle Malkin standing out:

He spent the entire debate assailing massive government spending — while his featured proposal of the right was to heap on more massive government spending to pursue home ownership retention at all costs,” Malkin said.

Yes, and the anger at the political establishment is finally spilling over with the angry voter at the McCain rally in Wisconsin saying he is more angry about the government moving toward socialism than he is about the economic crisis.

Thanks for the link, Terry!

The socialist takeover that McCain and the GOP are proposing is actually worse than anything the Democrats have proposed. At least Obama, Barbara Boxer and other Democrats that supported a bailout were talking about oversight and taxpayer protections. The Republican Party, with the exception of guys like Ron Paul and B.J. Lawson, is becoming a nightmare party.
