How are they caving-in?

The Senate still uses RealAudio? LOL. Friends don’t let friends use RealAudio. I’m surprised the audio isn’t available in FLAC. /sarc
Bump!
Not necessarily. It sounds like the rats decided it might look better for them to pass this w/o support from the GOP. We'll see. I hope like hell we stick to our guns.
Bunning is my other Senator, and I’m glad to see this. You see McConnell a lot more than Bunning, but Sen. Bunning in recent years has developed a bit of reputation for being a hellraiser when it suits him to be one. Every time I see him speak, I like him more.
I don’t buy that and I see it as just the opposite.
Ummm...because the 'rats are the majority party and can pass anything they want..in the House at least.
I thought you were being sarcastic. In now way do I take this speech to be a cave. Just the opposite. He is just talking about the possibility of this bill coming to a vote. Not wanting it to.
ABC news is reporting McCain supports the BUSH bailout bill.
If this is true, screw McCain!~
How are they caving-in?

On another thread they are reporting McCain supports Bush’s bailout.
plus from the speech:
From the speech:
“Now I want to talk about the bailout bill that we expect to have on the Senate floor soon. The Paulson proposal is an attempt to do what we so often do in Washington – throw money at a problem. We cannot make bad mortgages go away. We cannot make the losses that our financial institutions are facing go away. Someone must take those losses. We can either let the people who made bad decisions bear the consequences of their actions, or we can spread that pain to others. And that is exactly what Secretary Paulson proposes to do – take Wall Street’s pain and spread it to the taxpayers.”
Yes...I was surprised too. Luckily I have real Alternative. This will most likely show up on YouTube. Maybe someone can post a link if it does.
I do not see the word "today" -- I see "soon." Tomorrow is soon. Sunday is soon. Monday is soon. Soon is not necessarily today.
Reading your profile page, I would not have thought you so weak-minded as to be herded by ABC ... think about whom ABC is working to destroy and whom they are working to elect. ABC is a democrat party extension. Democrats lie, always. ABC will lie to you. Think about it. Stop being so easily manipulated.
The future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement are going to be made or ended in the next 5 days, and I’m scared for this country.
First, the GOP can’t back down on the bailout.
Second, even McCain must see by now that his bi-partisan schtick is over and his friends across the isle are trying to cut him off at the knees.
He needs to start hitting hard at the rats and it needs to start tonight at the debate. He needs to expose Barak for the first-term backbencher that he is and he’s not going to do that with polite discussion.
Finally. Palin better drop the coy school marm bit and come out swinging during the VP debate. If people don’t see her steel at that moment she’s going to relegated to the back shelf as inconsequential and only good for drawing rally crowds.
“we cannot [fix this problem] in one week while everyone is rushing to go home [and campaign].”
At another site I read that part of the rush is that the Federal Reserve is on some kind of deadline that ends this month (fiscal year?), and is in big trouble (out of money?) if something isn’t done. Maybe someone can explain what this is all about.
“Not necessarily. It sounds like the rats decided it might look better for them to pass this w/o support from the GOP. We’ll see. I hope like hell we stick to our guns.”
Exactly! Call! Call! Call! Your Representatives Let them know you back them!!
Tatt
All of the Rebulicans better start getting some Guff, Just like Bunning or else they are in deep trouble. The media is just full of democrat sound bites blaming everything on them.
If McCain ends up supporting the Paulson plan or anything like it, then he is all done.
