Yes, McCain sucks. But this is bs. Listen to this (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=363) to learn about how the SEC "cracked down" on naked short-selling. The Wall Street Journal is lying, like usual.

Republican voters have a profound contempt for themselves. They don't care if McCain lies.

They will elect people who shred the constitution, wage permanent war, pursue preemptive war, torture people who they hold in captivity without trial, accelerate global warming, and court economic catastrophe all so they can have lower taxes.

Cox is guilty of not pushing through regs on hedge funds. Short selling and sapping liquidity, that's the hedge funds. Greenspan let the bubble continue despite many, many warnings. Banks had appraisal divisions within their mortgage lender divisions. Lehman gave out 5.5 billion in bonuses last Christmas. McCain has no clue what he's talking about. Democrats need an all-out assault right now. Faux News and WSJ are going to starting spinning this as both parties are responsible. That's somewhat true, but the Repubs virtually controlled all three branches 2001-2006.
