It was the Democrats who saw this as an opportunity to grab a hold of
Wall Street, by the balls, and use it as their personal bank account to
fund their pet projects.

It's funny to see the Dems jump into bed with the Wall Street fat
cats. What you said has a lot of truth in it. When Wall Street
comes running to the guv for help, the guv becomes their mama.
The left wing Dems would love having Wall Street by the balls.
Anytime opposition talks about the "Free Enterprise" system now
in opposing a guv project, the lefties will just say, "Shush up honey,
don't talk that way to your mama."
And they'd be right.

You might want to go back and see who introduced the legislation. I'm
pretty sure that it was the Executive Branch that drew up the blank
check and said we have to do it now.

Do you understand the word opportunity? The Democrats take every
opportunity that comes their way to load up any bill regardless of who
introduced it with their pet projects.

Yes, the republicans are blaming house speaker Nancy Pelosi for the
failure of the Bailout to pass. Why? Because she made a partisan
speech.
We can't have people voting for a bill if there have been any
partisan speeches. The devastation of listening to a partisan speech
on the floor of the house was just too much for the delicate
sensibilities of the sissies on the right. So they were forced to
vote no against the bill, regardless of whether it was good for the
economy.
As Nancy Pelosi walked from the lectern the republicans all started
handing her their balls since they would not be needing them anymore.
How many democrats voted against the bill? Were they offended by
Nancy too?
A Bill brought to the Congress by a Republican President by his
Secretary of
the Treasury got more support from Democrats than Republicans.
I didn't think it was a good bill but to have it fail for twelve votes
that
should have been forthcoming from Republican ranks isn't due to Nancy
Pelosi's remarks. It is another failure by George Bush and John McCain
lead
effectively.

So, the republicans voting their conscience while Nancy Pelosi tried
to cover for the dems who voted with the coming election in mind is
the problem? No. It's just more dishonest voodo like when Pelosi told
her legions to go ahead and "say" they were in favor of drilling, all
the while with a wink and a nod, promising to make sure they never had
to cast that vote.. No, Nancy was only trying to cover the spread, and
it didn't work. I bet if you look, you will find the dems who voted no
were up for re-election this term and could not risk voting a party
line...

Wrong! Left ear is damaged, can't hear much at all with it. I can hear
with the right ear if someone is talking directly to me.

What did the dems pad the bill with?

Doesn't matter really. I think Pelosi wanted the bill to fail to look bad
for McCain. My thoughts on the bill.


I think the failure to pass was a good thing. This whole bill has been
rushed to the floor. 110 pages. How many Representatives actually read
the bill and understood what it said? How did the $800,000,000,000 number
come about? Look at the changes in the last 48 hours. 20% to groups that
seem to help the poor. Removed at the last minute. Bunch of money to
states and cities. Removed at the last minute. We got the energy
deregulation disaster in California the same exact way this bill was being
pushed. Last minute, bill coming off the cop machine as it was being
voted on. Totally FUBAR. The world will not end of it takes a week longer
to pass this bill. The financial system will not melt down anymore in the
next week. What will happen if we take $800,000,000,000 or whatever out of
the economy? Will you be able to get a loan to pay for the overpriced
books and tuition for you kids and grandkids? Maybe change the capital
gains to not tax inflation growth money. The government has pushed
borrowing,, etc. If people tried to save, they taxed the money and gave an
economic stimulus check to everyone. The government just keeps printing
money. Our economy has been based on credit for the last 30 years, and the
piper has to be paid. The bail-out-bucks are just going to postpone the
inevitable unless we change the give it to me now attitude.

So she made the Republicans mad, and they decided to punish the country to
get back at her.

It's not a fun week to be John McCain -- or any Republican. They've gone
looney.

Actually, McCain is being McCain - short-tempered, blaming others, no
deliberative abilities.
