Boehner Backs Bailout Bill

Looks like the Republicans have decided to play it safe. The Democrats had enough votes without the Republicans, but it would have been nice to see someone stand for the taxpayers. The economy may still fail, but the bailout will give the wealthy time to move their assets to safe havens. There are no safe havens for the poor.

Independent, I think it was important for this bill to be passed a bipartisan and present a unified front to the people.
The House GOP could care less about the taxpayers as they wanted to stuff in corporate tax breaks.

So Concerned are you ready to apologize for your comments given the update?

Concerned its funny you say that since her ex said it was internet attention slamming her that supposedly made her reluctant to talk to the media.
Ya know those right wing blogs and nutjobs like yourself that saw fit to attack a woman who lost her son to war.
Proud day for you, beating up on someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

“Once this “thing” is signed into law a full court investigation should begin, starting with Bins N Frank, Cowder Dodd, and all the other idiots that got us into this mess”
Much like Abramhoff the corruption starts at the lobbyists. Let’s take a good look at the millions taken in by Rick Davis and Charlie Black.

- Barack Obama – First Presidential Debate, September 26, 2008
“I think Senator McCain’s absolutely right that we need more responsibility…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused…”
“He’s also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the ones that are introducing these…requests…”
“John mentioned the fact that business taxes on paper are high in this country, and he’s absolutely right…”
“John is right we have to make cuts…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right that the violence has been reduced as a consequence of the extraordinary sacrifice of our troops and our military families…”
“John — you’re absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran…”

This whole thing is the fault of the people. Yes the Dem-wits want to blame Bush and McCain…the Repugnants want to blame Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid..etc. but in reality it is our own fault. We continue to elect the same old scumbags over and over. Ted Kennedy is dying in some hospital and they will probably elect him again even after he is dead. That is how stupid some people are. So I say good luck with that and lets remember when we point fingers that we must look in the mirror and start with ourselves. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It is our own fault. You will see the same faces on Capitol Hill after the election and we will see the same messes! They pit us against one another on purpose so we are so busy fussing about Obama or McCain that we forget what is important! That is the way it works! They deserve a raise! They know how to screw us over and over again and make us enjoy it! Get used to it! Here it comes again!

WASHINGTON (CNN)— Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin’s stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama’s support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists
“If that’s what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should,” Palin said.
During Friday night’s presidential debate in Mississippi, Obama took a similar stance and condemned the Bush administration for failing to act on the possibility terrorists are in Pakistan.
“Nobody talked about attacking Pakistan,” Obama said after McCain accused the Illinois senator of wanting to announce an invasion. “If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out.”
McCain emphasized Sunday, Palin “shares” his view on the matter.
Palin for Obama ? LOL
Remember she put out a press release saying she supports Barack Obama’s energy plan before McCain choose her!
LOL

Electoral College Obama McCain Spread

McCain claimed in the debate he has been to Waziristan. There is no record of such a trip. Anybody know any different?

“For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac… and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market… If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.” —John McCain arguing for passage of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act (S. 190) which he co-sponsored in 2005

“did you notice how obama never mentioned CHANGE or HOPE during the debate?”
He didnt have too McCain change his tune and went back on his word and appeared at the debates and hope’d we wouldnt noticed no deal was done!
McCains joke…
When he tells Iran no you cant do that will thwy believe him ?
No because he broke! He blinked he was backed into a corner and gave in!
Just like he gave in to the enemy in Vietnam!

PSS Dont confuse NASCAR with politics!

Obama decries school vouchers yet sends his children to the finest academy in Chicago. He hate SUVs, but sre did not in 2007 when he owned a Chrysler 300. He advocates mass transit but records show he had never registered for a CTA bus card. He commutes on a private jet.

alex it took mccain showing up on the hill to motivate pelosi, reed etc to do their jobs.
at least mccain showed up and remembered that he still has a job as a senator-obama said call me!
yeah right. if we had a national emergency and obama was out of the country and was pres obama would say call me, or text me!

Obama, has spent the last four years under the tutelage of his toilet licking mentors John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy, and more recently among a few thousand political hacks and handlers, endeavoring to make stuff up and recreate and reinvent himself on the bet that a majority of American voters are stupid.
Pray it ain’t so.

They have been moving money around for weeks and of course this is a stall for the wealthy to get thier ducks in a row and they are.The working class will be left holding the bag I really think the middle class is a thing of the past.

To differentiate between Obama and his media facade, the logical place to start is his record of legislative accomplishments. But Barack Obama has no such record. So, we resort to that old English proverb, “You can judge a man by the company he keeps.”

Bishop what do you mean they have been moving money around?
are you suggesting the markets are being manipulated to justify the crisis to some degree?

response to Cultural Amnesia; i had forgotten those incredible words spoken by john mccain. thanks.
what helps me is to watch the debates a second time without all the pre-debate hype. it is then, that mccains words jump out, and grab my heart.

i believe that colorado could still go either way. mccain still has a chance here. more so than new mexico mostly due to bill richardson (governor) and a very strong democrat hispanic community, and a very liberal new york, california new comer, santa fe crowd.
but southern new mexico is strongly republican.
colorado is slowly loosing its conservative base-but i do believe mccain can still win colorado.

so i read a horrifying sentence today in Newsweek – reminding us that Bush had wanted to privatize social security when he was elected, i.e. allow everyone to put their social security in the stock market.
are we glad that didn’t happen?
so my question – where did the candidates stand on that initiative? can we expect the same type of ‘maverick’ and ultimately self-destructive behavior from a mccain or obama presidency?

This thing need to be stop it , still doesn’t solve the problems and by the way all the guilty parties that caused this crisis need to me procecuted, all the Chris Dodds, Raines , Johnsons and Barneys that year after year blocked reforms while getting paid in contributions to do so. They are CRIMINALS

response to wakeup- i too have struggled as a single parent. we have also known that cold place, the fridge to no where. i work double shifts at least twice a week but we never make ends meet. when i hear how much these fat cats have stolen and will steal from us it makes my stomach sick. every time i look at my pittance of a paycheck after taxes i will remember. every time i cannot afford a textbook, i have yet to buy one textbook this semester and i have to borrow and xerox testbook assignments i will remember. everytime i have to borrow to get my kids to the doctor i will remember. but most of all i will remember in november/

As an Indepedent, seeing someone attack Republicans with insults and name-calling is par for the course from the left. The only one that is “delusional” is believing that “America is ruined” and that only Republicans are to blame for the bank and finance problems on wall street.
It is the Democrats that blocked bills to stop the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac breakdown.
McCain himself co-sponsored a bill to provide oversight and reign in the corruption of FM/FM.
The Democrats on the Senate Committee Blocked it!

To differentiate between Obama and his media facade, the logical place to start is his record of legislative accomplishments. But Barack Obama has no such record. So, we resort to that old English proverb, “You can judge a man by the company he keeps.”

You can judge a man by the company that pays him under the table as well.

The Bailout will ultimately fail when it hits the ground…”the system” will get greased but there is still to little income and too much debt on the ground. So, when that machine begins to start churning again its going to wear when it comes into contact with every day Americans.
America needs jobs with enough income to keep up with the debt.

To jump start the economy, enact the Fair Tax. Result would be increased jobs, manufacturing would return to the US, and US would then become a tax haven for foreign companies.
Use all available energy resources.
This is what this country needs!
