Bailout Bill

[RoadToad]

I'm disgusted too at the presence of ANY pork on this of all bills. Voting in favor of it is bad enough, but I can understand how someone could, as McCain said, "hold their nose and vote for it," because doing nothing is not an acceptable option. I think the real villains when it comes to the pork are those who had it put in there. I'd like to see a list of all of them, and see them all, regardless of party affiliation, voted out of office. And I don't think that list would be confined to "Nancy P. and her groupies," but would contain a lot of both Republicans and Democrats. I do know this much: Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, and Gordon Smith, a Republican, were the initial sponsors of the arrow provision.

Yeah I don't know all of them but Shumer (D), Dodd (D) and Frank (D) all had a big part of it. The list is long and remember Dodd had that sweet deal (crook) from Countrywide. This whole thing was a Democrat business venture that hit the core of what the party is about. Being fair to all people under any circumstance, they gave so much money away and lied about it when asked about how the companies were doing. This stinks no doubt but there are ALOT of Dems who ran and pushed these companies into the ground all in the name of helping the poor and unfortunate.

I'm furious with the Republicans who went along with the bailout. I'm even more sick of, and disgusted with the federal government than usual.

The reason those who hang slabs of pork onto bills aren't "made famous" is they ALL do it. What supposedly was going to address the most important issue since the great depression gets turned into a 450 page bill laden with the usual garbage.

Mitch McConnell should be canned. Dodd, one of the guys most responsible for this crisis should be canned, then jailed. Mudd and Raines should have their millions repo'd and their heads and wrists placed in wooden stocks on Pennsylvania Ave. Barack Obama should have his sweetheart mortgage rate jacked up to 9% immediately.

Nancy Pelosi should have a gag like 'Hannibal' wears affixed to her skull with 4 inch deck screws.

Proof positive we sure as hell don't need even more corrupt and incompetent government. A vote for BO/Biden is a vote for more federal government, and is therefore undeniably foolish.

The Democrat party will have you believe lack of regulation in the Bush administration got us here. Meanwhile a trail a mile wide leads right back to their own party.

Every time any criticism of Obama gets close to hitting home, CNN plays the race card for him. Now the Commie News Network is trying to put a racial spin on his association with Ayers to deflect McCain's strategy of questioning his judgment. Disgusting.

Has anybody seen the DOW this morning?

The big $700 Billion bailout must be a real joke. The DOW falls below 10,000 for the first time in 4 years just now, despite the passage of the bailout on Friday...big sell-off of stocks, bank failures expected to rise...

So let me understand. We're all going to take it in the backside on our taxes to pay for this "bailout", yet the market is going to tank anyway? NICE.

Who in the hell did we bailout?

I call foul too, boys...I'm with you...

I wasn't going to vote, but this bailout fiasco/scam has me mad enough that I checked out where my polling place is and have made a list of the people I'm going to vote against. Basically, it's everyone who voted for this bailout.

So the big question for me now is to decide whether to vote for Nader or the Libertarian candidate for President...or just not cast a vote in that election since McCain and Obama BOTH voted for it.
