New York Times: Senate Republicans "Vaporize" Big 3 Bailout
The Patriot Room ^ | December 11, 2008 | Bill Dupray

. . . for a month, that is.

And the Republicans are showing some moxie in siding with the American people, who are not getting any bailout from anyone.

The prospects of a $14 billion government rescue of the American auto industry seemed to vaporize Thursday as the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, spoke out forcefully against the bill, effectively ending its chances despite the urgings of the White House.

"W" should quit playing around with his golf buddies and return his attention to the real business of America which is politics.

What the Republicans need is for him, "W" Bush, to quietly offer a pardon to Blog in return for certain critical information about every Democrat in Illinois politics. Preferably he'd hand over the evidence.

Afterwards, President McKinney can pursue the bailout.

Good news - now the GOP needs to get out in front of the cameras and tell the American people why the bailout was rejected.

It was a sop to the UAW, nothing more.

I'm still pissed at the Repubs for being cowards! It will take more than this
to get back into my good graces, and wallet.

Bush has about a month to pull his head out and kick some liberal butt.

Bush supported this piece of garbage legislation. I am done with him.

Never happen. His people told him the economy was going to crash, but he thought he could get out first. He just doesent want to get blamed for any of this, on his watch. What happens afterward he could care less.

IIRC, McConnell voted for the Wall Street Bailout.

Are you kidding? He was just busted smooching that wrinkled leftist Streisand, who for the past eight years called him every nasty name known to the english language.

No, I'm afraid he'll go out the way he came in.

“..... effectively ending its chances despite the urgings of the White House.”

I’ve been disappointed far too many times. I will not believe this until I see it.

The next 4 years are going to be a blame game. The democrats are already trying to blame everything on “obstructionist” Republicans.

And the media will play along like the good soldiers they are, that is until most of them go belly up.

Who has a larger audience, NY Post or NY Times?

It doesn't matter, ignore the Times. You're wasting your time reading a bunch of half truths.

As an old Coach told me once, if you're going to do something that dumb, drink beer.

It’s a short reprieve, but these days, any little moral victory over the big government bums is better than nothing. Once our Kenyan master is in, all of Bush’s dreams can be fulfilled. He can write a book about how hard it was get anything done with all the far right conservatives in his way. I wish him a long and happy retirement from public life.

Hard to believe. I hope it stays “vaporized” although I’m skeptical
