Bailout vote

[taterhill]

Have we heard from 1 Congressman that voted this down today?

[stuckincincy]

You brought up Hitler, Lenin AND socialism. Congratulations, you hit the loser trifecta.

 

Though not surprising coming from a guy who quotes Ann Coulter.

 

Just what we expect from you: more knee-jerk, stereotypical, propagandist nonsense.

 

Newsflash: because someone may gag at the thought of Coulter and Limbaugh doesn't make them "far left" or socialist. Just a middle of the road citizen who can think for themselves. Please stay out there on the fringe so you won't infect the rest of the nation.

 

Please cite where I quoted Coulter...

 

Your Marixist indoctrination was swallowed whole. denigrate, belittle, lie.

 

I'm curious - do you work in the public sector?

Don't know if we'll hear from any Democrats that voted it down. Nancy doesn't like it when he minions speak out of turn

And W has probably rounded up the Republicans that voted against it and shipped them off to Guantanamo

Have we heard from 1 Congressman that voted this down today?

that damn domino effect again...

“In my heart and in my mind, I believe that this plan is fraught with unintended consequences, would force generations of taxpayers to pick up the tab for Wall Street losses and could permanently and fundamentally change the role of government in the American free enterprise system,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), who led conservatives away from Bush and their own party leaders. “Once the government socializes losses, it will soon socialize profits. If we lose our ability to fail, we will soon lose our ability to succeed. If we bail out risky behavior, we will soon see even riskier behavior."

hilarious...anyone have a real answer

[blzrul]

I've been trying to connect to various Congressional Reps' web sites to see what I can learn but they all time out. Guess I am not the only one interested!

 

I did let my rep know that if he voted for a bill that did not contain a top stop on the $$, some serious protections for John Q Public and guards against golden parachutes, he'd be on my shirtlist...I imagine most of them heard the same.

 

In looking at this - the market dropped 777 pts. Congress is SO worried about it that they're taking two days off before tackling it again on Thursday. So let's see what the uncertainty does.

 

All I know is, if that asswipe Bush decides he needs to address the country again (more fear mongering) tonight and he does it during Monday Night Football, he will RUE the day he was born.

 

As an aside - I never thought I'd see the day when I agreed with anything Jeb Hensarling said. Or anyone named "Jeb" for that matter....

I wanted to see a list of who voted yes and who voted no. So I went to www.house.gov

Whew! That's a relief! This has only been the 6th worst day in the market in a century. That's some positive spin, brother!

 

I stopped with the last one. There probably have been a lot other days that were greater in percentage loss. I'm not putting a positive spin on it. I'm pointing out how the media freaks people out with:

 

 

Greatest Point Drop in the Dow EVER!!!

 

It's percentage drops that kill you.

Marxism! Man, bringing out the big guns. Impressive. I'll be shaking when you start calling me a "Communist."

 

Public sector? No. I'm swimming in good ol' American Capitalism. In fact, I'm pretty sure I love the system more than you.

 

If you stop sniffing the glue long enough you'll see the world isn't so simplistically black & white.

[Johnny Coli]

I stopped with the last one. There probably have been a lot other days that were greater in percentage loss. I'm not putting a positive spin on it. I'm pointing out how the media freaks people out with:

 

 

Greatest Point Drop in the Dow EVER!!!

 

It's percentage drops that kill you.

 

Pretty sobering numbers from Bloomberg:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 778 points for its biggest point drop ever as $1.2 trillion in market value was erased from American equities.

Good thing a 700 billion dollar rescue package wasn't passed.

[Booster4324]

And Congress is not taking the days off, they are for the Jewish religious holiday, Rosh Hashanah.

 

Thanks, I wasn't able to get through. In my state (MS) voted as follows.

 

Bennie G. Thompson (D) voted no

 

Travis Childers (D) voted no

 

Chip Pickering ( R ) voted yes

 

Gene Taylor (D) voted no

 

Seems the dems have some explaining to do.

[GG]

You can thank Rosh Hashanah for mitigating tomorrow's carnage. Of course, later in the week is open season.

 

Thank Rosh Hashanah? I thought Jews created this in the first place?

I don't think this is partisan. I'm sensing a rural revolt against Wall Street. Just my initial guess.

[YellowLinesandArmadillos]

I briefly looked at the link.

 

 

A reference to Paul Kreugman, as an authoratative source.

 

Six months or so, I saw this St. Paul of the Washington Post on the hack Chris Matthews show, saying that the Democrats were on the right side of the Vietnam War. of course, just a nod from the host beholden for his millions of dollars.

 

Pardon me..the right "side"? McNamara? LBJ? The solid congress controlled by the Dems?

 

It was the usual re-writing of history. St. Paul isn't stupid. Co-opted, afraid to risk...sad.

 

The betrayal of the press is breathtaking, to me.

 

For fun 'n games, here is something entered into the Congressional Record in 1963. A portion is contemporary to that time. But read it when you have the time, scroll down, and pose to yourself, how many of the points have in fact come to pass?

If you read the article it criticizes Krugman

[John Adams]

Seems the dems have some explaining to do.

 

Not as much as the Repubs.

 

Congressional leadership puts up a bill that won't pass--nothing like a massive failure to pass a bill to boost confidence in the economy. The Pelosi speech is absurd though. What a !@#$.

 

Time for Steve Forbes to announce an aggressive write-in campaign.

[Chef Jim]

Pretty sobering numbers from Bloomberg:

 

Good thing a 700 billion dollar rescue package wasn't passed.

 

This is a more interesting stat:

 

Campbell Soup Co. was the only stock in the benchmark index for U.S. equities to advance.

 

I guess investors are banking on the return of the soup kitchens.

[John Adams]

This is a more interesting stat:

 

I guess investors are banking on the return of the soup kitchens.

 

Grilled cheese and tomato soup (Campbells) are comfort foods.

 

What else is a comfort food?

 

Beer!

In a backhanded way - with wink-wink support explaining away...
