McCain Calls for Bipartisanship But Only Talks to Republicans
When John McCain suspended his campaign and tried to postpone Friday night’s debate, he emphasized the need for a bipartisan solution, saying, ”We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved.”
Per NYT’s The Caucus blog, here’s a list of who McCain spoke to regarding the proposed bailout plan on Saturday:
- President Bush
- Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson
- Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
- Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Senate Minority Leader
- Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)
- Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
- Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), the House Minority Leader
- Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the House Minority Leader
My friends, that’s an awfully one-sided definition of bipartisanhip.
