Comments on: Bailout Bill Picks Up Steam

Senate Passage Appears Assured; Opposition From House Republicans Said To Weaken

[mcv57]

On election day, simply vote for anyone but the Incumbent, and the same next cycle, until they''''re ALL gone. Then help circulate a petition to institute Term Limits, and eliminate Corporate Lobbying of our Government. That should be just the beginning.

The damage is too massive for anyone with intelligence to solve. Awake-up, McInsane and BamBam are political stooges.

For 2 weeks now we''ve been told daily if we don''t do something today, financial armageddon will arrive tomorrow. Every day we get by though and the stock market isn''t plummeting 2,000 points as many have suggested. We are certainly in a financial mess, and things need to be done.

However, we must be smart in how we solve this mess, or we will only be doing this all over again in 5-10 years. Congress should be holding hearings with economists and other leaders to really figure out the best manner to fix our problems. In addition, our so called leaders have now added to the bill to go before the Senate today. It includes funding for foreign banks and to name just a few:

New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill
- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark "extenders" in the bailout bill
- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
- Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
- Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
- Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
- Railroads (Sec. 316)
- Auto Racing Tracks (317)
- District of Columbia (Sec. 322)
- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

Take 1 minute and tell Congress to Vote NO on this bailout. Call [phone] or email them at wwww.VoteNoBailout.org.

When you find a "Fiscally Conservative" Republican, please point them out. Your hero, monkey boy, has spent us into oblivion, and in each step, his Congressional Majority rubber-stamped his every request. Too bad it''''''''s all on the record, or else you could lie some more. The thought of you attempting to educate ANYONE, let alone myself, is laughable in the extreme. When you get your GED, let me know. I''''''''ll send you a graduation gift......

Yeah, and the last two years, Bush has had to veto 11 spending bills in which the socialists just went whacko in their giveaways that the socialist whacko''''s kept making more and more demands overbudget! They don''''t seem to understand checkbook balancing either!

They are too busy attempting to save their own a$$ (job). 100,000 lazy, ignorant, arrogant, and corrupt civil service employees will lose a paycheck if the Bail-Scam does not get approved.

[wdh3007]

Obama and Mcain are fired they both wanted us to pay when the Govt had the money all along this was not a bailout it was a cover up. Why then would the dow creep up 500 points after the worst financial crises in decades. This tells us that the Govt is in more control than we were all led to believe. We don''t have a capitalistic country we have an socialist country who thinks we don''t know how to spend our money perhaps their is a secret Govt that goes on behind closed doors lol.

Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Rose City Archery Inc., an Oregon company that makes arrows used by children, hit a bull''''''''s-eye with Senate legislation that would rescue Wall Street banks.
Senators attached a provision repealing a 39-cent excise tax on wooden arrows designed for children to an historic $700 billion bank rescue that is likely to pass tonight. The provision, originally proposed by Oregon senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith, will save manufacturers such as Rose City Archery in Myrtle Point, Oregon, about $200,000 a year.

I don''t agree with you on much, but I agree with you on this one.

Maybe taking to the streets is the only way. Open rebellion.

The Bail Scam is a credit card paying-off a credit card! Okay, foreign loans dried-up. Buying time, to what end ... so the government can sell-off foreclosures to illegal alien workers at inflated-price?

No wonder Paulson does not like accountability and transparancy! Deception, deception, and more deception. Hyper-Inflation here we go!

[cbsblogger]

Of course the BAILOUT picks up steam. The people that will benefit and have put us into this major bind own the media and Wall Street and Congress AND are over represented themselves in Congress. They are the ones who are obsessed with lending money and making and taking interest from Americans and our government.

Loose CREDIT is what has put us into huge mess. CREDIT needs tightened up and we need to bite the bullet.

America needs to flush its credit culture down the toilet along with those that thrive on making money from it. We will be in a major recession next year and the year after regardless of the bailout. The bailout just makes it longer and deeper and rewards those who created it.

Please purchase a clue. The calls for her to step down are from CONSERVATIVE GOP sources. The Democrats LOVE having the clueless dimbulb continue in the campaign. Everytime she opens her mouth, Obama''''s Poll numbers go up.....LOL

If both parties had listened to FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE republicans and a few conservative democrats we would not be in the mess we are in today. Funny how some fiscally conservative banks and mortgage companies ae actually buying the assets of the greedy ones. Imagine that. Can not take time to further educate you because it is dinner time

[staplesla]

They are calling this a rescue but are adding so much *** to it. This is ridiculous. They need to sit down with economists and other great leaders to figure out a real, long-lasting solution. We''ve already given billions to AIG, Fannie/Freddie, etc. and the problems are still there. This will be $700 billion down the tubes.

They vote in 45 minutes. Call your Congress member at [phone], or send an email through either of these sites. www.votenobailout.org or www.visi.com/juan/congress

[wdh3007]

Obama states he still wants americans to pay the 700 billion dollars Mcain a little more honest states the new housing bill was passed that provides up to 1 trillion new dollars. So basically both parties wanted us to pay and acrue more debt only Mcain was more blunt and said we no longer need the peoples money we have our own.

Read dummiecrat. I never mentioned "step down" I said attacks and if you were able to read well, you most certainly have seen viscious attacks on this very site.

[madroncain]

This bill is a very bad choice. You cannot spend money you do not have. By passing this bill the dollar will weaken and gas at the pump will increase. This is a bailout for foreign investors, not America. This weakens America.

[emelder]

No gas again today in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Chattanooga ... of course, Bush is not responsible for a hurricane, but why are he and the Republicans SO far behind on contingency planning? This is his/their administration and they keep getting PLANNING issues wrong: Katrina, Iraq, Afghanistan, budget deficit, No Child Left Behind. Wall Street bailout crisis, you name it. Bush/Cheney, Palin/McCain are clueless. We need real leadership in the Executive Branch ... it''s Obama time!!!

[incog-nito]

Are you just one of those rich people trying to get the banks to foreclose on them homes so you can buy them for 30 cents on the dollar?

Posted by donnie7948 at 06:57 PM : Oct 01, 2008

No, I just make money short-selling the h*ll out of the market downturn.

[willymack]

and they''''re so corrupted and evil, they can''''t even remember when they went bad.
Please, remove ALL Incumbents from office, and demand Term Limits. It''''s the ONLY thing that can save our Nation.

Posted by singinrich at 06:52 PM :
How do we do dat???

The only way I know to do that is with violence. Elect William Ayers......he will blow up anything.

[republic1776]

I tried calling my Senators for PA and the voice mail is full!
