Here's the original quote that I posted all that long time ago that we have been arguing about ever since...

It is doubly interesting though, because McCain voted for the bill that deregulated Wall St


This quote is a true statement. McCain did vote for the bill that deregulated Wall Street. He voted for S. 900 in May of 1999. The only thing that changed about that bill from when he voted for it and when it was made into law, was the addition of the part that strengthened the Community Reinvestment Act. So, in fact, it's only the part that strengthened the CRA that he didn't vote for. He voted for all of the rest of it in May.
