their holiday. We need to have everybody reconsider this and have a vote on this before the end of the day.

1. GOOD... and I am Jewish

They need to go back to work...

[bluestateguy]

2. Jewish law allows you to work through Rosh Hashana/Yom Kippur in emergencies

I think this passes the test.

[LeftishBrit]

3. Jews can work on the Sabbath or a holy day IF doing so could save a life.

This may come into this category.

4. The Federal Reserve Act was passed on Dec 25th.

Doing the hard work that enslaves a nation waits for no man.

7. No, it wasn't passed on Christmas Day.

9. I read that is was Dec. 23rd

after most Congress critters had gome home for holidays.

10. Same difference. It was pushed

through during what most thought was a break.

Gotta do the bidding of the Devil while the righteous are busy praying.

5. It failed. Time to look for other options.

And Jewish lawmakers should go. They're grown ups.

6. Good. I'd say the same for every other holiday no matter what the holiday

and what the religion. They need to come up with a compromise bill and they need to do it now.

8. If you are so religious, that a religious holdiay prevents you from doing your job

in an "emergency" situation, maybe you need to work in your church/synagogue/temple/chapel...and not in the public sector ..

Do firefighters leave a fire if it continues into their religious holiday?..

A person's religion is just another "feature" of their being..like brown hair, blue eyes, height, weight, etc..

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. Bullshit. First, where did you hear that, and second...

religion should not force a vote on a $700 BILLION BAILOUT BILL. Everyone needs to get back to work, regardless of their religious beliefs.
