In Last-Night’s Vice-Presidential Debate, Governor Sarah Palin promised to join John McCain and clean up Washington.
Disputing Senator McCain’s Oft-Repeated Deregulator Claim, Governor Palin said, “Now, as for John McCain's adherence to rules and regulations and pushing for even harder and tougher regulations, that is another thing that he is known for though.”
Senator McCain Disagrees With His Running Mate. Senator McCain maintains that he has always been known as “a deregulator.” (At least until a few weeks ago.)
“I Am a Deregulator. I Believe in Deregulation,” said Senator McCain, speaking on CNN five years ago, on 07/13/2003. And here is Senator McCain, less than two weeks ago, in an interview on 60 Minutes (air date: 09/21/2008):
Vice-Presidential Candidate Joe Biden Disagrees: “So what you had is you had overwhelming ‘deregulation.’ You had actually the belief that Wall Street could self-regulate itself.”
Here Is Senator McCain, Again From 60 Minutes:
The “We” That Senator McCain Is Talking About is the United States Government, that Senator McCain has served for the past 26 years—"deregulating" and “cleaning up” Washington.
Listening to Senator McCain, it’s clear why his cleanup efforts have been unsuccessful.
In His Earnest Effort to Get Elected, Senator McCain can’t decide whether government regulation is the problem—or the solution.
And So He Promises Both.
Can You “Clean Up Washington” and “Deregulate” at the Same Time? Governor Palin and Senator McCain both say "Yes!" But John McCain's 26 years as a "Maverick" in the United States Congress says no.Disputing Senator McCain’s Oft-Repeated Deregulator Claim, Governor Palin said, “Now, as for John McCain's adherence to rules and regulations and pushing for even harder and tougher regulations, that is another thing that he is known for though.”

“In 1999 you were one of the senators who helped pass deregulation of Wall Street. Do you regret that now?”
McCain:
“No, I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy.”

Here Is Senator McCain, Again From 60 Minutes:
CBS:
“McCain has been an advocate of deregulation most of his career, but Thursday he endorsed the biggest bailout in history—a plan for the government to take on the bad debts of financial institutions.”
McCain:
“We’re going to take over these bad loans. We’re going to take over these bad, these bonds and we’re going to keep you alive. And we’re going to have the taxpayer help you out. But when the time comes and the economy recovers, then anything that’s gained back is going to go to the taxpayers first.”
