Stuck in a Time Warp?

"McCain's campaign said the meeting "devolved into a contentious shouting
match" and implied that Obama was at fault — on a day when McCain said he was putting politics aside to focus on the nation's financial problems."
--from MSNBC
Raised voices during a discussion in Washington? *gasp* Unbelievable!

But, seriously. What is wrong with this statement? Well, from my perspective, it reads more like McCain & his campaign are using this financial crisis for political gain. It is disappointing that the Republicans have chosen to play the blame game at a time when bipartisanship is essential.

It's like the Republicans are stuck in a time warp and are still mad that the Democrats had power for decades. Even though they got the deregulation they craved, even though they essentially controlled legislation for twelve years, even though they have a Supreme Court loaded in their favor, even though the economic decisions made in the past eight years have played a major role in this current crisis.

And they think that liberals are idealistic.
