Treasury Bailout Vote Fails -- and so does John Hall (D-NY19)

Posted on 09/29/2008 7:35:16 PM PDT by Onos

John Hall adds his name to the list of Democratic Congressmembers who wanted to provide for socialist bailouts to failed banks.

Of course, the story goes deeper than that as well: the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of those Democrats who permitted the CRA and took a slice of the fat pie that Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac had to offer up.

Men like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who helped themselves to that fat pie on the backs of unqualified borrowers and ultimately taxpayers.

Shame on you, Mr. Hall... and for your failure to look after the best interests of the taxpayers and citizens of New York’s 19th Congressional District, you have ensured that I will support your opponent, Mr. Kieran Michael Lalor, with my time, financial resources, and most certainly my vote.

By the grace of God, Mr. Hall, and with the blessing and votes of my fellow citizens in NY-19th… come November 4th, you just might find that your services are no longer required.

Mr Lalor offers his view and his support for the hardworking taxpayers and business owners of New York’s Hudson Valley here:

Clearly Mr. Lalor is a maverick - the right kind of maverick who will take us away from the failed policies of the 110th Democratic-lead Congresss, and away from some of the more questionable economic policies supported by President Bush.

Not THE John Hall?

Never heard of him.

Isn't there a section just for vanity posts?

Ever heard of the band Orleans? Hall founded it and had to leave to join congress. He’s a lib jerk.

Hall is my socialist member of Congress, unfortunately. We’ve got 2 Lalor signs on our lawn and have donated to him. They’ve got a very dedicated campaign and I hope they pull it off.

Throw him off the plane, then.

If he loses the election he could always go back to his band. :-)

As much as I hate John Hall, Lalor isn’t doing himself any favors by speaking out against this thing, considering that half the district is in Westchester. There’s a reason that every NYC congressman voted for the bill.

Hall looks like he’s having a “Gavin Newsom moment” with that microphone in that add.

My Rep is an aging hippie. *sniff*

I'm hoping Lalor get's it. We had Sue Kelly so it's more conservative here. Hall hasn't done much but talk.
