Is McCain hurting GOP congressional candidates?

The New York Times REPORTS this morning that Republican congressional candidates suddenly face more difficult election prospects not only as a result of the economic crisis but also because of John McCain.
Carl Hulse and David M. Herszenhorn write:
“Strategists for both parties say Republican House and Senate candidates are being hurt by the dip in support for Senator John McCain at the top of the ticket, frustrating Republicans who had initially viewed Mr. McCain as a strong asset who could appeal to independents and even moderate Democrats and protect Republicans in a tough year.”
Democrats are hoping to pick up as many as 30 seats in the House and nine in the Senate.

Who cares! If they are an incumbent, I have no desire to vote for any of them. If I had my way, I would put ALL of them in jail. These jokers has sold out to wall street for a long, long time. Main street doesn’t bribe these politicians. Wall street does. The party that they belong to, makes no difference at all. As if the sell out of the taxpayer wasn’t enough, then they added another 150 billion for pork spending. How deep in debt do we get before we start paying for all of this. We should put the lobbyist in jail to. Plus, all of the executives that hired them. Life sentences. No parole. What do you think? The vote is the only power that we the people has. Lets use it.
