  • McCotter nails it. We have swapped our freedom for the next meal's bread.

    Not so bad for me, as I'm nearing retirement age. But my heart goes out to younger generations and their children. Future generations will not be as free, and never see America as we know it.

  • Absolutely. That man has my vote. He isn't like the rest of those blithering spineless weasles in congress that are more concerned about winning the next election and lining their own pockets than with what's good for us, the tax payers.

  • Great speech! Im surprised I haven't heard of this guy.

  • Majoritarianism is the road to socialist kleptocracy.

  • ad hominem

  • Ron Paul is a nutjob who should just disappear, along with McCain and the rest.

    McCotter for President 2012!

  • he would not be reelected if he didn't. He was represented the desire of his constituents

  • This was the right thing to do. The banks should never have been given the pie in the sky no strings. The auto industry deserves a slice, albeit with terms. It is idiotic to think this country could survive without them.

  • Thad McCotter opposed the bank bailout and rightly so. The money was a gift with no strings and no parameters for use. That grab bag passed despite his efforts. That being the case, if healthy banks were given the pie in the sky, why shouldn't the auto companies get a slice in the form of a LOAN with strings. It makes perfect sense and not just for Detroit. There should never have been any bank bailout. Credit has not been unfrozen, banks execs got bonuses and grand parties.

  • Guys, you have to give McCotter a break. He is from MICHIGAN. He is going to be kicked out of office if he isn't for the bailout. I'm sure that he is against the idea of the bailout but his constituents want him to vote for it. And as their elected representative he is simply carrying out his responsibility. I'm not trying to justify his position by any means, but you have to understand where he is coming from.
