MY visceral reaction to Pelosi’s speech is probably precisely what she wanted. She wants this failure to get even worse so that she can use the MSM in the Democratic tank to spread her message that it was a Republican failure rather than directly traceable to the Carter administration’s and Democratic Party Legislature’s CRA. It is directly fostered by failed DEMOCRATIC PARTY economic ideals. But now she has the Republicans painted as getting in the way.

Somehow the Republicans must hold their nose, vote for the compromise package as it is now, and then get viciously partisan about it.

If we don’t do the bail out, it might cripple the credit markets. If we don’t do the bail out, it might collapse the economy. If we don’t do the bail out, it might cost your company the ability to make its next payroll.

It might…
It might…
It might…
It might…

None of these financial geniuses will make a declarative statment, will they? We hear nothing but the worst-case scenarios. This is called fear-mongering. We have been bashing the Dems for that kind of crap – the politics of fear – for years, and it is pathetic to hear the panic-striken abetters who are supposedly on ‘our side’ displaying their lack of faith in free market principles.

A significant piece of the economy is going to take a very significant hit. And it should. The rest of it, and and the rest of us, will suffer for awhile and then WE WILL RECOVER. I said “will”, not “might”. Do we or do we not believe in the free market? Why are so many running away from our beliefs at the first serious challenge to them? Is all of our pontificating about it merely hogwash and fair-weather platitudes?

We will recover from this crisis. We will never recover from the bail out.

Go club for growth. They forgot about cutting capital gains taxes to 0 for the next couple of years to get more capital into the market (if as others have pointed out)there is a shortage of capital to begin with. This whole bailout only seems to benefit those who caused the problem to begin with. Where is the accountability to those who caused it(including the senators and representatives). So far what I have seen it those pushing this bailout the hardest are the ones who caused it. Round them up and seize their assets and use those to pay for the bailout.
But alas, they will just raise my taxes some more and move us more toward socialism.

My credit union still has great rates and plenty of money to lend, small banks are doing fine. I’m taking out a loan to buy a motorcycle and anticipate no problems.

That’s what’s so interesting. For a lending environment with no money to lend anywhere(so we’re told), there sure is a lot of lending still going on.

Thank heavens this bill failed.

More money will not fix the problems with our lending industry.

I’ll take no more slavery to lenders, at no more than we already have.

Ok, now what? Is this some turn in the process, some deal that Rush just talked about: the dems are afraid of getting whapped out of office if they vote for this thing?

I need a scotch.

A very painful freedom, I hope. But at this point, all bets are off.

I’ll take painful freedom! None of our freedoms have been handed us.

If failure to pass this would ensure an Osamabamabiden win, why is SanFranNasty holding open the voting against the rules of the House and calls of oder?

Some people are just dimwitted.

davidk on September 29, 2008 at 2:07 PM

Nope, she just showed that she is powerless as the Speaker.

Like 94 of her own party voted against it.

Holding the vote open. You effin’ slugs.

Come on RNC, make those commercials.

This is the House, not the Senate.

Romeo13 on September 29, 2008 at 2:01 PM

Thanks, see my above retraction of my stupidity…

Just heard on ABC radio news – “Voting continues on the contentious bailout bill… the market is down Four Hundred and Fif…tee poinst (emphasis THEIRS)… it looks like the vote will fail despite urging from President Bush and the nation’s top economic leaders”

a> Nothing about holding the vote open
b> NOTHING ABOUT PELOSI OR REID OR THE DEMOCRATS…
