95 Democrats voted AGAINST the BAILOUT! They wanted to include Billions of taypayer money for ACORN!

ACORN is at the heart of one of the most massive voter fraud campaigns in American history. Many ACORN employees have already been indited, found guilty & investigations continue.

ACORN is a liberal Democrat campaign machine disguised as a housing program.

ACORN is fully supporting OBAMA, and doing whatever means neccessary (illegal & otherwise) to get him elected!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

The US govt is going to reward billionaires and screw over the little guy...what else is new...they should sell the bad assets in an open auction to the highest bidder...let the losses begin and then get it over with...NO BAILOUT!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE 50 TO 1 AGAINST IT, YET IT IS GOING TO PASS...WHO REALLY RUNS THIS COUNTRY...NOT THE PEOPLE.

[southbobby]

[TaffyAlpha]

Bush is going to pray to god to help him solve the problem.

LOL

[zymurg2007]

The WH bailout proposal is 3pgs for $700B. The Democrat Congress version is 122pgs and they want $52 Billion more. It would be the greatest democrat windfall in history to fund their liberal programs, funnel funds to their croonies, and expand their power beyond anything ever seen since Social Security. The Republicans want a Capitalistic approach, not this democrat socialism. McCain did the right thing. The Democrat Liberal Policies created this mess and are inept at fixing or managing it.

[EFrizell]

We have a very GRAVE SITUATION happening before our very eyes.

This is like THE 3:00 AM PHONE CALL AD, but real.

It seems one candidate gets it and has gone back to Washington.

I tell the other Candidate: Dude, this is NO TIME FOR BUMPER STICKER RHETORIC. If you do not understand the urgency and severity of this crisis YOU SHOULDNT BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

Hillary and Biden were right: YOU ARE NOT READY.

why the fed do not lend the money directly to the bankrupted firms? why the fed firm needs the government to take more debts to buy the bad debts. just because its backup buy tax,power and authority over the borrowers. the hole system is going mad. why the american do not wake up and trash their arrogant economic professors and study again the 100 years fundamental books of economics from Silvio Gesell like "The natural order of Economics" i bet you will discover ideas you never heard before

A rescue plan for the U.S. financial system unraveled late Thursday amid accusations Republican presidential candidate John McCain scuppered the deal, and Washington Mutual was closed by U.S. authorities and its assets sold in America's biggest ever bank failure. (Source CNBC)

How Barry got his groove on:

Barack H. Obama got his creds as a "community organizer." Anyone know for whom?...Time's up!

Among them was ACORN (Assn. of Community Organizations for Reform Now). It browbeat local banks for loans & mortgages for the inner-city unqualified, and once the locals caved, the big boys followed, to avoid (unfounded) accusations of racism, etc., etc.

Barack can run but he can't hide. As a street-corner agitator, he helped spark the current mess YOU will pay for.

[woodyaan]

As USA democracy is bogus, so is their capitalist system; 700 b. dollar from nations hard working peoples pocket to give as a grant to the bankrupt bankers just because they are Bushs fiend? It is nothing but a typical socialism-communism, a financial TOTALITARISM in most corrupt and open way.

And USA Congress acts like an imbecile; no will, no judgment, no courageJust bunch of criminals who can spit on each others mouth then lick it.

Dogs eating own vomitsDisgusting!

[luke666808g]

well people say tax payers will be stuck with the bill, this isn't entirely correct, they'll actually be stuck with the debt servicing, they'll pay only interest and never pay back the principal, the weird thing is, the money didn't come from anywhere, the Fed bank authorized the mint to print the money for the government to borrow... if they can just print the money, then why the hell do they need to pay interest on it? That's retarded, so you'll be stuck with the debt AND the inflation.

When is John McCain going to own up to his RESPONSIBILITIES for the FISCAL COLLAPSE of the economy? When is he going to be HONEST & admit guilt, as a DIRECT BENEFICIARY of the CORRUPT BANKING practices of these financial institutions that have crippled the American economy? When is McCain going to APOLOGIZE for EMPTYING THE PENSION POT of millions of Americans, as a beneficiary of the present corrupt gov't, which use the tax payers to foot the bill of GREEDY & BANKERS?

Barack Obama's campaign has issued a statement, criticizing McCain for "passing the buck" on the economy!

"McCain is HYPOCRITICAL & DISHONEST." Said one of the bosses of Merrill Lynch. "He tries to distance himself when there's a crisis; but takes the credit for the good times that he did not help achieve. He's not worthy of the office that he seeks"

The Wall Street Journal.

BREAKING NEWS:

McCain's campaign is in tatters-from the economy, his criticism of morning show hosts, to whether he invented the BlackBerry & on Palin's inability to run a company. To make matters worse, conservatives are turning against him.

His biggest flub came when he slammed Wall Street "FAT CATS" even though his single biggest donor is MERRILL LYNCH. After denouncing the very people that help pay for his campaign, he suggested the gov't set up a commission to look into what went wrong!!

Loan titans paid McCain aide

==

John McCains campaign mnger was paid more than $30,000 a month for 5yrs as president of an advocacy grp set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current & former officials say.

McCain, the GOP candidate, has recently begun campaigning as a critic of the 2 companies & the lobbying army that helped them evade greater regulation as they began buying riskier mortgages with implicit federal backing.

Get the fuck out of Iraq-it's a 3 trillion dollar war and quit starting so many fucking wars. Bush is an idiot.

[whispers83]

don't mess with techsUS

[lordvalgarX]

What is not being said, and this also includes all the media who remain quite...

This is a result of an ENRON loophole that was NOT closed, which allowed these firms to be unregulated, allowed them to inflate the prices through speculation.

They (both Dems and Reps) both had ample time to close this loophole but did not.

There was so much greed, money out of thin air will come to the rescue... just like a ailing junkie in withdrawal, this 600 billion will merely help for a day or two thenwhat?

[lordvalgarX]

srry 700 billion, may as well be a Trillion...

[1BuckeyeNation]

Why don't you want to drill? Better to pay ourselves for oil instead of the Saudis,Venezuelans and,Russians. I agree 100% with the other two points.

NO BAILOUT!

[2004JETTA]

no crap you think you just get 700 BILLION without a hitch

[TECHKLEC]

This "tough sell" is to be expected, I would think. Everybody is real pissed off!

[upabittoolate]

yeah. no shit
