All of a sudden the Republicons want government regulation, what a joke!

The chickens have come home to roost on the completely failed conservative scheme of privatization. Let those scum go down with their companies. Who is going to jail for this fraud anyway? NO BAILOUT FOR THE RICH SCUM!!!!

But wait - I thought everyone agreed the bailout is BAD.

So it''s GOOD to vote against it. Right?

LOOKS LIKE THE REPUBLICANS ARE LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE.

The Democrats are BAILING OUT THE FAT CATS, including THEMSELVES!! And they''re IGNORING THE OVERWHELMING PUBLIC OPPOSITION to it.

The Democrats are trying to keep the ball rolling for DEBT, DEBT, AND MORE DEBT. Just a continuation of their ruinous "affordable housing" agenda that CAUSED THIS MESS.

You didn''t, by chance, say this?:

%u201CI personally believe, that U.S. Americans,
are unable to do so, because uh,some, people out there, in our nation don%u2019t have maps, and uh%u2026
I believe that our education like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as%u2026
and, I believe they should uh, our education over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future,
for us.%u201D

Well see I think this is alot of b-s couse all this stuff would not be happening. I think that if people would just look up and see that this place is make money off you any way they can even if it take the last dime of your money as long as they got money witch and see if something happens look and see who will always have the cash.

Hmmmm, when the filthy rich lose money the market takes a "tumble" but when you and I lose our shirts on our own house it''''s just a "correction".

Why do you people think only the "filthy rich" are tied to the market? What about all the people with retirement funds, 401k''s, etc. Also, what about all the union pension funds invested in stocks?

I''ll bet you wear a name tag at work......

Let''s see, we gave tax credits to companies that took jobs overseas and away from the US workers, we went into a country that "didn''t" have WMD''s, we pumped money into Saudi Arabia and other oil pumping countries (like they needed more money), then we wondered why the US consumer didn''t spend more money on goods! Because you took our jobs away, which in return cut the amount of money we can spend on luxuries and necessities! DUH!!!! So... we are rewarding companies for taking jobs and money from the American workers and helping the people that made the choice to live beyond their means! Job security has gone the way of $1 per gallon for gas! Learn to plan for the future, not bank on "what might happen"!
