McCain, Palin Op-Ed: We’ll Stand Up for Taxpayers

The GOP ticketmates blame Congress for the needed bailout of Fannie, Freddie, say the influence of special interests trumped the need of the American people in a joint Wall Street Journal piece.

"Fannie and Freddie's lobbyists succeeded and Congress failed. Under our administration this will not happen again."

"In the first 100 days of our administration, we will look at every agency and department and expenditure of the federal government and ask this simple question: Is it serving the needs of the taxpayer."
