The Republicans have set a trap for us with this Wall St bailout & we're falling into it head first
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 08:49 AM by mtnsnake
When it's a week before the election, do you think anyone is going to remember that Bush is the one who proposed this bailout? No. they're not. What everyone will be talking about is how the Democrats, behind Nancy Pelosi's leadership, pushed this idiotic $700,000,000,000 "rescue" plan, or an edited version of it, down everyone's throats. The Democrats, not Bush, will be blamed for its passing, and voters will be pissed at us at the worst possible time.

Already, I'm hearing more and more how this is being spun by Republicans as a plan that's supported mainly by Bush and Democrats. Not good. Even that moron, Bush, doesn't realize he's being used as a sacrificial lamb by whoever it is that gave him the idea of a bailout. We better think this one over twice.

(edit for not enough zeros on the price, had to add 3)

3. Dammit, IMO, there's NO NEED to rush this vote. Tell your congress critters you'll vote them OUT if
they act rashly by voting this week. SLOW THIS F**KING TRAIN DOWN!!!!

4. Exactly
Hopefully, Democrats will take into account the consequences of ramming any bailout through during election time.

5. Marcy speaks out on the bailout.... Who is this terrific woman?
Take a look and a listen... She is from Ohio; she made some
great points; she has good ideas and the spunk to back them
up. I like her style and I had never even heard her name
before today.
