Don''t believe anything you believe in a discussion thread. Verify everything for yourself.

[notfooled]

Until "we the people" unite and throw these long entrenched, bought and paid for criminals out of office we are doomed.

When you vote, if you vote to send the same old bribed charlatan back to office then you are just plain stupid.

Unless you enjoy this on-your-knees bent-over position, have a brain and help take back our country.

VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT.

Dam, Bush''''s little "kiss my azz" smirk is back.

Todays Congressional vote was approved as follows:

172 Dems voted to pass bill
91 GOP voted to pass bill

FYI

This is how the bill passed.

A majority of Democrats sided with Bush.

This president has lost all credibility with me, and we need to sweep the congress and representatives clean. I believe we have heen strongarmed by extortionists. Somewhere I heared that this bill turns our average family responsibility of $17K (national debt) into $1 million each.

Saying it is so, doe NOT make it so.

Of the various ways of making an argument - these are two...
1. Argument from evidence.
In this method, the evidence is examined, and the argument follows wherever the evidence takes you.
2. Argument from authority.
This is the essense of religious and usually republican, and usually those who consider themselves "authorities". (and everybody wants to be an "authority".
"Because I say so" is a classic argument from authority.
Evidence usually has no place in argument from authority.
The human race seems to be having a hard time weaning itself from argument from authority.
If you look carefully at those assertions from conservatives and others - 99 per cent of the time they''re doing argument from authority.
Consider - "I said no thanks to the bridge to nowhere" - does evidence or authority support that argument?

How ya supposed to find out if someone ain''''t a doofus or not?

Posted by donnie7946 at 03:57 PM : Oct 03, 2008

General rule of thumb is that anyone who uses the word ain''t in this thread or a double negative is a doofus.

This is a stab in the heart to the Republic. To ignore and discard the wishes of the majority in favor of... bankers, is an insult... at best.

We need to unelect ever single incumbant in both houses of congress... or kiss the USA goodbye.

I agree with you! ONCE AGAIN, Congress chooses to ignore the majority wishes of the citizens!

The DemoCOWARDS are failing to distinguish themselves from the RethugliCONS! Voting for them is no different than voting for the ''CONS, in the end they cheat you!

Voting for the BAILOUT bill is the final straw! The DemoCOWARDS fm my home state have lost my vote---they''re as USELESS as the RethugliCONS!

I''m voting third-party or write-ins, that''s it!

[nolalou]

I dont think you can look at it that way.

The United States IS NOT a democracy, its a Representative Republic. We send OUR representatives to Washington to vote on our behalf.
If their vote DOES NOT represent our desires, then it is US who have failed, by electing the wrong people.

This brings up an interesting point. Sometimes elected officials , members of congress, the Senate or even the President have to do something because it''s the right thing to do, even if the majority of the people oppose it! Take the civil rights legislation of the 60s, many people were against it, but it was still the right thing to do.
Sometimes politicians need to follow the will of the people, other times they need to lead, and explain to the people why they did so.

I am so sad right now. There were so many other ways to solve the crisis that did not put money in the pockets of the very ones guilty of causing the problem. I do not think I can vote for either McCain or Obama now. McCain is not the maverick he thinks he is and Obama has already violated his ''bottom to top'' hype. It just makes me ill that the people that bought houses they couldn''t afford and the banks which profiteered by taking advantage of those wanting their own homes.
