Comments on: Lawmakers Claim Progress In Bailout Talks

Congressional Leaders Hopeful Of Striking Deal Before World Markets Open

[stn_sage]

ABC News has announced that there IS a tentative bailout deal reached!

Congress will vote on it Monday or Tuesday, and the Senate later.

Ob course, Congress ''caved'' on the terms! And it sounds like the ''new regulation'' is strictly voluntary so of course we know they''ll disregard it! With ''reasonable'' limits on exec pay, etc..

My reaction: it looks and sounds like an entire ''sellout'' of the public interest!

Thanks Bush! Thanks Congress! Thanks Wall STREET!
You screvved us over really good THIS time!

I know I''ll feel good when I vote against every incumbent on the ballot!

CBS, where''s your article on this?!

Oh, wait a minute. We don''t have time. Someone has to guard this board.

I don''t think that these jerks in Washington understand just how close the American people are getting to physically booting them out on there a##es. They just don''t seem to listen or care enough to what we have to say. We are in charge, not them. Go get em boys!!!

If we bail out people who have correctly filed a homestead exemption, we will save the people from losing their homes without bailing out flippers. Please consider this idea before a bailout agreement is reached.

"We should not Bail Wall Street out.
It''''s stupid, to chase bad money." Posted by republic1776

Absolutely. Wall St. is nothing more than the rich people''s gambling den, and we should not subsidize gamblers, especially those who are, in Bushit''s own words, drunk.

We should not have allowed companies to become "too big to fail", or consider them to be so, while allowing the government to become too small to protect the citizens from their collusion and corruption, and should not have allowed the country''s economic well being to be considered to hang on unregulated gambling debt.

Thus the failure of the neocon agenda is now apparent for all to see.

LOL! True that, but it is only we sickos who really understand and recognize sickness in others.

Donnie, I would be more likely to use the phrase "Physician, heal thyself, and if you cannot, tough titz."

Feel welcome, friend. Thank you for helping stand up for what is left of America.

Btw, please help us keep up the call to bring Bush and his war criminals to justice, they must not be allowed to get away with their crimes just because they are out of office.

We should not Bail Wall Street out.
It''s stupid, to chase bad money.

[lemonskink]

The majority of the public have expressed they do not want this bail out...this rogue administration once again goes completely against the will of the people...down with dictatorships.

Google The Hurry Up Song. It explains how they worked it, and more with panic propaganda.

You blame the wrong people.

The Democrats, and the Senate Republicans simply responded to the instruction from the president to consider the "bailout" as proposed by Paulson and Bernanke.

They were told that failure to do so would result in the immediate collapse of the US economy.

They did what they were tasked to do, consider and alter the bill, however sorry the outcome.

But who told the lie in the first place, asking them to respond to a "crisis" that was not as it was presented?

Your boy Bush. Now quit dancing around the truth, and go vote for McSame, we know you will do so anyway, therefore your post of needless justification is a waste of time and bandwidth.

[haddada-2009]

The democrats are coming out and thanking each other for spending our tax money. Is this what I am going to look forward to if Obama wins? This is congress with the worst approval rate ever. Pelosi just smiling and old man Reid tooting his horn. What a bunch of nuts.

Was it you that was wondering about j-whitman?

Awhile back someone said that the REAL j-whitman is now "david1737".
