It is going to be a very interesting evening!
details about the bill?
If it has one pork portion and if ANY repubs vote for it I’m outta here.
BTTT
If so, we need to get on the phones immediately and get them to stop this thing.
I don’t anticipate it will be interesting. I anticipate a party line vote passing Paulson’s bailout. Republicans against.
Which version? Who will support it? Are they doing this after McCain left so the MSM can keep saying he had less than nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, they are now saying Obama “chaired” the WH meetimg and spoke for the democrats, yet Obama gets no blame for the meeting’s failure?
If this ACORN is really getting a chunk of our money under the guise of this “crisis”, there’s got to be a citizen’s march on Washington.
If that’s the case McCain just wasted everyone’s time.
If they cut the 700 bln by 2/3, removed the ACORN stuff, and put the rest as an insurance provision, its is a necessary evil....
What was their source?
Sounds like another Democrat trick with McCain going out of town to the debates.
They better not give them any money.
The Rats have to get something done tonight while McCain is out of town, else he’ll get credit. The House conservatives better not cave ...
And Bush gets rolled by the democrats again
Can’t McCain filibuster
No it's not necessary. If fact, it will make the problem worse.
The American public doesn't understand the 'problem'.
He didn’t waste anyone’s time. He went up there and empowered the Republicans to present a bill that 70% of Americans approve — a private-sector bailout. He can now crow that the Dems refused a nonpartisan debate and pushed through a Wall Street rich-guy bailout, compliments of the US taxpayer. It’s a winner either way. They’re passing that BS bailout. $700 billion going on $5 trillion.
This entier fiasco underscores how broken our political system is. The poision on the left is pathetic, and harmful to our democracy.
Thank God for the House Republican’s!
No details at all about the bill only that it will be by midnight tonight. They just said it a second time.
“The Rats have to get something done tonight while McCain is out of town, else he’ll get credit.”

I expect nothing will be agreed to until Saturday afternoon at the earliest.
I’ve been away this a.m. and trying to piece things together. So what happened - if the bill hasn’t yet been approved, why is McCain leaving town and going to the debate?
I’m reading news releases but have apparently missed something.
The AP version reads like an Obama press release!
agreed
Well, the initial bill had no pork in it, the second bill had Democrat pork in it, but no GOP pork.
I’m sure the final bill will appease all involved (except the actual people paying for it).
