Republicans Cannot Support the Bailout, Their Party Platform Says So

The GOP's party platform was approved earlier this month at the convention. Part of it discussed rebuilding homeownership. If the Republicans truly believe in the free market as stated below, they cannot approve the bailout. Read it in full here.

Rebuilding Homeownership

"We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all."

Obama on the Republican Attacks

McCain's Resolve

From Bush's GOP convention speech:

"Fellow citizens, if the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain's resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry left never will."

But McCain canceled an appearance on Larry King Live because reporter Campbell Brown's questions to McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds "went over the line" (watch here).

So Hanoi Hilton couldn't break McCain's resolve but CNN could.
