Why do i say ironic? The cost of imported is 700 billion dollars a year.

I would suggest in stead of gripping about bush we STOP SPENDING 700 BILLION DOLARS TO BUY IMPORTED ENERGY a part of which goes to our enemies that use our money to kill us.

why is it that the money that most people realize is neccassary to stabilize our economy is more than we can afford and at the same time say that we as americans should not be using the same money in our own economy.

Democrats: We’ll bring this mother down yet!

The hypocrisy of the Dems is pretty amazing, especially considering how their party forced the social engineering of the free market (giving unqualified buyers and illegal aliens loans) and whenever questions were raised they shouted down the regulators and opposition…and then to have people who know they are to blame turn it around and blame the people who warned them and tried to avert the disaster….just despicable. These people are the lowest form of scum on the earth.

Right, so because Pelosi called the Republicans names, in the most school house sense of the phrase, they deided to frak over, pretty much the rest of the world. That’s their argument?

Pretty Much. The GOP deserves its upcoming epic loss.

I think that neither of you has looked at the vote have you? There were 94 Democrats that voted no. The Democrats control the House and if Pelosi would have held her own side in line the bill would have passed. Do not blame the Republicans for standing on their principles when many of the Democrats voted no because they didn’t get the pork they wanted. That is one heck of a lot more ridiculous reason to kill the bill.

Pelosi screwed this up. Plain and simple.

She knew it wouldn’t pass …. 90+ dems voted “nay” …. McCain went bipartisan and called in many more than the original 4 who supported the bill ….

I’m thinking that dems have set McCain up for their pre-announced “October Surprise” — in which Obama will now rush onto the scene and in a flurry of self-elevating verbosity — single-handedly and miraculously rally enough votes to save the federal government, Wall Street, main street America, the Global Economy and planet earth from collapse!!!!!

wow.

{^_^}

This looks like a tactic to me. This was designed to fail. The democrats will get their ACORN money, and more. They will also take credit for saving the country they are in the process of destroying.

McCain came out today FOR THE BAILOUT PLAN. He has turned right back into the guy that none of us liked, and no one wanted to vote for.

Can Sarah save him again? If she can’t make it out of an interview with Katie Couric with her reputation intact, I tend to doubt it.

I’m thinking about becoming a beach bum in Hawaii, while I can still afford the airfare.

Funny how quickly things can change.

we are all going to die!!!!!

Nah! I exercise my 2nd Amendment so bring on the Mad Max stuff!!!!

The GOP’s epic loss was 2006. This year it will all be about Democrat losses. Two years of control of Congress and there is not one substantive thing that came out of that branch of government, corruption abounds, the economic mess is clearly tied to Democrats. The election is just 36 days away and the Democrats are sinking fast.

I don’t know. Lots of people are either misinformed or willfully ignorant regarding the cause of this situation. Lots and lots of stupid people vote unfortunately.

HAHAHAHA. The Reps got wind of it from an interview of a Dem on NPR, how they were going to attack the Reps this fall on passing the bills, and pulled their support.

Pelosi can’t even pull off a simple political double cross effectively.

we are all going to die!!!!!

Just not any time soon, for most of us.

The Fed and the Treasury will be lending and creating money at an incredible pace, even without the deal.

Betting on deflation is very risky.

Either Mrs. Pelosi is a political savant of such magnitude and she has cloaked her brilliance such that she could intentionally threw a hand grenade into the process without detection or she is the most colossally stupid politician to occupy a seat in the House of Representatives. I am quite convinced of the latter.

With a vote of such magnatude hanging in the balance, her distain for George Bush long known to all, her reaching a compromise deal with the White House, her refusal to bring the bill up for a vote without assurance that House republicans were on board, the all night negotiations, all the members of the House catching holy hell from the folks back home…

And she gets up in front of the House and says that?

I will suffer no fool ever again that tries to impress upon me that Sarah Palin is too stupid to be our Vice President.

This example of blind partisan rage that eclipses patriotism and sense of duty is proof positive to me that we have problems in this country that go far beyond the mortgage and credit crisis we are dealing with right now.
