It looks like McCain went to Washington just to fuck up the current deal....so that another different deal could be made that he would be involved in...so that the story would change from the economy going to shit on the republican's watch to "McCain providing the leadership to fix the economy"
Quote:
According to the source with knowledge of the White House gathering -- which featured both presidential candidates, congressional leaders and the President -- virtually ever key figure in the room, save McCain and GOP Sen. Richard Shelby, were in agreement over a revised version of Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's plan.
Towards the end, McCain finally spoke up, mentioning a counter-proposal that had been offered by some conservative House Republicans, which would suspend the capital gains tax for two years and provide tax incentives to encourage firms that buy up bad debt

Apparently still the republican solution for everything is to cut taxes for investors and corporations.
