Is that really so difficult?
Repubs are in a superior position now but only if they offer a better counter plan. Their plan could be the same except without including foreign banks, bonus limits on execs who choose to take the dough, and omitting the union pension bailout. Would probably be enough to put it over the top
I am expecting the people to fully embrace Socialist solutions to the pending collapse of the economy -- which will of course make a terrible situation even worse.
I pray I am wrong and by some miracle our nation will reject Socialism, but it sure looks to me like we are racing down that path full speed ahead.
np, saw it after my post...glad we’re clear.
This bill needed to lose. Now we need to push a good alternative. Stop being a chicken little.
Are you crazy! Frank, Pelosi, Reid and all the Dem ilk were for this bill...
The Republicans just saved America today from the speedy race to Socialism!
more like 60 percent opposed, but true.
BZZZT! False premises invalidate your posting. Thanks for playing though, and next time try to get a grip on reality first. The market will not "crash" and the economy will not "tailspin." This is a faux crisis. repeat "Faux"(that means "false" for you all in Rio Linda).
I guess you missed the part where most Americans are against this bailout and wanted the bill to fail. Having the dems painting the republicans as the cause of the failure will only help, not hinder, the republicans in the elections. McCain should get a clue and start standing with the republicans who voted against this monstrosity of a bill.
You havent been listening to ordimnary common people calling into the radio etc...they see the GOP as heros and have NOT lost faith in the ability of our themselves and outr ocuntry to get through this and persevere.
At least until Thursday when I fear Grammy Stretch Pelosi will pop some valium (or be forcibly gagged) make everyone cookies and milk and change their votes...
I don’t think you could be more wrong if you tried.
um, I think that's why they voted against this legislation..... this legislation is not "comprehensive reform". So passing this legislation instead fighting for "comprehensive reform" would have sealed their fate in November, with a scathing loss......

The debacle is all hers, and this pic is worth a thousand words.
We the people know the democraps caused this whole mess. dems made this rope. Let dems hang on it alone.
The republicans did the right thing. They voted down a mess that would have broken our backs.
Tancredo, who voted “Yes”?
It matters not that the libs will try to frame and defame conservatives. It only matters that conservatives FRAME THE STORY to the American people. So far, McCain hasn't done a good job of that. And, Obama is out there writing the script.
Hell, Queen Nancy couldn’t even get all her little RAT buddies to vote for this travesty of a bill. Remember she can pass this WITHOUT any Republican votes.
Yep, the $700 billion doesn’t even exist, it’s a promise they can’t keep, bloating a National debt that’s already been a vacuum to a non-existent Social Security fund

Shelia voted NO? She must be holding out for the return of the ACORN giveaway clause.
