Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Senate Minority Leader, speaks at the Senate Republican Press Conference this afternoon.
He spoke about the bailout rescue plan and referred to it as a plan for main street, not wall street, yet it's the same bill the house failed to pass, with lots of pork and beans added to the bill.
We need to work on a solution to this problem, but adding pork to influence votes only hurts us, the taxpayers. The Senate votes tonight on the measure, contact your Senators and urge them to vote against this bill.
Who bailed out the banks? Does everybody remember? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't Obama. Remember George Bush? When the money was for their banker friends for their bonuses and trips, and not for us to see doctor, the Republicans were out there selling it.. Remeber Sarah Palin painfully trying to explain to Katie Couric why welfare for rich people was a good thing? Boy it sure was mean of Katie to ambush Mrs Palin by asking her opinion of the biggest news story that week! But I digress.

McConnell is my senator. He represents all that is wrong with Washington DC. It's all about bitter partisan politics. He votes with the money. Based on numbers from my Congressperson, at least 93% of the many calls, emails and faxes that McConnell received were against the bailout and he arrogantly voted for the bailout and twisted a lot of arms to get others to vote for it.
I helped organize the local Ditch Mitch Rapid Response Team to campaign against him as promised.

Bullshit! This is fraud on the American people.
Congressman Brad Sherman of California said that the 700 billion dollars is to buy up foreign banks useless paper - securities.
Bush, Paulson, Bernanke, Pelosi, Reid, Frank Dodd, McConnel Blunt, Hoyer and others have all been lying about this 700 billion being for Main-street. They all should be prosecuted for fraud. LIARS
