Kucinich on the bailout-2/2

“Is this the United States Congress or the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs?” Rep. Dennis Kucinich Rejects $700 Billion Bailout

The House is set to vote today on a $700 billion emergency bailout plan for the financial industry. The proposed legislation was forged during a marathon negotiating session over the weekend between lawmakers from both parties and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The 110-page bill would authorize Paulson to initiate what is likely to become the biggest government bailout in US history, allowing him to spend up to $700 billion to relieve faltering banks and other firms of bad assets backed by home mortgages, which are falling into foreclosure at record rates.

Dennis was the only Congressman in Ohio to vote against the bailout. I wish I had a Congressman like him.

I'd like to challenge the underlying assumptions of all a lot of things.

You get an absentee ballot and write in Ron Paul for Pres. and Dennis Kucinich for VP. I did it - and so can you. However, Now it's too late. We got Obama Yo' Mamma - another 4 years of corruption.

It should have been Ron Paul/ Dennis Kucinich running for president. Wouldn't that have been the best way? Oh well, now were stuck with the evil of two lessers.

I was gonna vote for Obama but this bailout and his vote changed my mind at this point.. I agree obama is out of touch with "main street" or is bought off buy wall street. I wonder what would happen if I asked my electronic precinct

that I wanted to write in a name??? I guess i better find out so I can vote Kucinich!

Kill the Federal Reserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kold2market]

Yesterday Obama said this next bailout should pass - and he proposed raising the FDIC insured amount from 100k to 250k...

I say o.k, HOW DOES THAT HELP MAIN STREET ?

IF A FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH FOPRECLOSURE RIGHT NOW, THEY HAVE WAY LESS THAN EVEN 100K - otherwise they would still make their payment... Sorry to tell you this, but OBama is also out of touch with main street. LISTEN TO KUCINICH, LISTEN TO NADER?GONZALEZ 2008

NADER HAS MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!!!

[darththc]

both mccain and obama are members of the CFR, where this collapse was manufactured and implemented. these lending practices led directly to this collapse and those practices were not instituted by mistake. this is why mr. kucinich says this "crisis" has an air of manufacture to it. unless you vote by mail there is no way to write in your vote on our electronic vote rigging machines.

Why was Greenspan chairman of the Fed for so long. He kept getting appointed.
