THOUGH RIGHT ????

Your right!!!! How dare the Democrats not make OUR party look after OUR states intrests! I totally forgot that its THEIR fault every time WE fck up. Congratulations jack ass, people like you are why our party will lose in November. Some of us still like to see people held to account for their actions. Fck the Dems but most of all after seeing this……FUCK our party.

The media is already laying the failure of the bill at the feet of Republicans,even though a dozen fewer Demoncrats voting against it would have passed it.

I disagree with this conclusion. The failure of this bill is due to 2 factors:

To some exent Pelosi’s venom and hatred just prior to the vote.

Chiefly, I attribute the defeat to the many who e-mailed and phoned their representatives and raised unholy heck just prior to the vote.

there should have been no problem.

If it was good, it should have been sold as “good,” not as “expedient.”

The talking heads have yet to acknowledge that there may be other solutions that will work without the drawbacks of this bill.

… including Jesse Jackson, Jr., Shelia Jackson-Lee, John Conyers (Chair of Judiciary), John Lewis and, last but by no means least, Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA in his freezer!).

Also both Sanchez’s, both Udalls.

were even considered, apparently. I’m not a Newt fan, but the public is about 80-1 against the bill, based on letters/calls to conresscritters.

The word certainly didn’t get out, and it’s partly (but not all) because we have a President who is rhetorically challenged. That shortcoming could end up bringing a very smooth talker into the White House.

The Dems should have done better.

But our Republicans (including mine, who voted No) in the House need to take responsibility, too.

This deal is legitimately bad for all of us, but it made the best of a terrible situation.

There is no “free” market when there is NO market. We’re suppose to elect our Representatives to the the right thing, not the poll-driven, politically expedient thing. They are suppose to rise above the fray and vote for what is best for the Nation.

Our politicians on both sides of the aisle no longer care about The People.

Instead, the cowards hid their heads … and in a more convenient place, not the sand.

What kind of Speaker of the House takes a major bill to the floor without counting the votes first? That’s just plain incompetent.

BTW, I’m hearing that all but one member of the Congressional Black Caucus voted NO.

But I sit and look at my retirement dropping a little less than the DOW did today and now I’m just PO’d at what the government has done against free enterprise and capitalism in general. Ms Pelosi was saying she would deliver the Dem passage of the “bailout” vote, she failed. I’m grateful despite my losses today. The good intentions of the givernment is now biting the world in the [you know where.] Individual decisions would have their own rewards/punishments, but now we have the decision by committee, a faceless, mindless collective that obscures the culprit both in the instigation and the mopping up. Decisions that were made a decade or two ago by people no longer in the positions that called the shots, and we all are now pulling out our wallets. I’m disgusted with the whole lot. Everyone and no one is to blame. I wish I could vote against every one of them.
