Discuss among yourselves.

I’d right back to him and tell him to quit pushing this stinkbomb, and ally with the House conservatives unless he wants to lose the election.

[abigailsmybaby]

I got one too.

Not sure what to think of it yet. Still kickin’ it around.

[Texas4ever]

john we need a townhall meeting...about the economy

do it when obami is with his hollywood friends the boss

[Norman Bates]

Be easy on him. He needs to show willingness to push for action as a POTUS nominee.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I dunno...I think we should all trust the people who got us int this to fix it...NOT

When I start hearing some talk about flaying Raines, Fwank, Dodd and all of the others like Ken Lay, I'll think about it

For now you can call me Pete Puma

[counterpunch]

The McCain campaign is going in the wrong direction.
Congress may need to do something, but not this.

No looting of the public treasury.

I think Sonic can be cannibalized by other chains. Lord knows we can’t let a double cheesburger firm go under. (I ate there last night)

[BGHater]

"Again, inaction is not an option."

Sen. McCain, slow down let the markets self correct and Lead the American people with a Real Plan. Either back the Conservative GOP, or keep pushing the rock.

[yldstrk]

It’s a political stance.................

[E=MC2]

“And to my supporters, I assure you I will continue to do whatever I can to aid in a constructive answer to the challenge before us.”

Ok. Just what are you going to do????????

[rabscuttle385]

Bipartisanship is a tough thing; never more so when you're trying to take necessary but publicly unpopular action.

Yes, Juan, treacherously crossing the aisle to collude with Marxists and Democrats is sooooo hard.

[Man50D]

We are in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes.

The greatest?

Congressional inaction has put every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk.

Wrong Senator! Congress reacted to overwhelming pressure from constituents to oppose the socialist bail out because the people realized this plan would put the nation at grave risk.

I am disappointed at the lack of resolve and bipartisan good will among members of both parties to fix this problem.

There's that socialist euphemism again, bipartisanship. Nancy Pelosi uses the same terminology.

Yesterday the country and the world looked to Washington for leadership, and Congress once again came up empty-handed.

Wake up Johnny. Yesterday the American people looked at Congress and said this isn't leadership and they came out with hard earned taxpayers dollars not given to those who made bad business decisions.

How anyone can support this socialist simply defies logic.

[DRey]

I got it. Sent a rather nasty response back. I wish he would see it.

[ImpBill]

Can't help you on the authenticity of the email as John and I aren't exactly on speaking terms these days. /;-)

And with messages like this we won't be on "speaking terms" for quite sometime.

He, like so many and in both political parties, just don't seem to "get it".

Being "responsible", either at the personal, business, and/or government level means one must manage their own "debt" and not let debt manage them. Unfortunately for far too long now Washington politicians have had no problem passing on their irresponsibility to future generations. It must quit sometime, so why not the present?

I mean if Sonic can't grow without loans - that is their problem.

If school age kids can't go to college or vo-tech without borrowing the money - get a job, save up and then go - guarantee their education will mean much more to them.

If people who couldn't afford to buy homes did so for what ever reason and are now losing them - well tough dooty. That's life.

Why should those of us who have played by the rules, accepted personal responsibility, especially for our financial situations, continually be asked to "bail out" folks that haven't?

Eh, Johnny boy?

Excuse me while I go barf up the meal I just paid for!

[paratrooper82]

What in the hell is he talking about? I was taught that I saved my money then bought the item. I had to save enough money for a deposit on big ticket items. Why are businesses and families living day to day on CREDIT and subject to the whims of the government. Until I see liberal socialist Chris Dodd, Barney (gender bender) Franks, Chucky Schumer, and Kent Conrad in jail, I will never trust another thing the US Congress will ever do. These crooks stole our tax dollars in order to give it to minorities, and the poor, people they knew would never be able to pay a loan or mortgage back. Now we are suppose to let them write another legislative bill that will bail out and cover up the theft, fraud and racketeering with $700 billion dollars to take control over more of our tax dollars and our private property.

On top of all these crimes being perpetrated by these crooks, no one will go to jail and they then play politics with the bail out, cover up in order to score points for their election! Enough is enough. If these Senators and Congressmen can't take a stand against these crooks now, then when?

[machogirl]

i got it, i was disappointed in it.

[Steamburg]

This e-mail totally shows a disconnect between perception and reality. If this were a real immediate crisis, there would be no congressional holiday. As ugly as it is, the Democrats don’t it fixed before the election. Economic damage is a bonus. There is no sign that the Democrats who created this mess are willing to accept responsibility for the carnage they are creating. It is proving to be a wonderful club with which to beat the Republicans. Bipartisan is just another word for defeat. The only fix is to call the bullies at every turn. Like meeting with any petty dictator, set define the ground and set reasonable preconditions. Ambush them with one liners.(Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall).

***The FDIC should quickly be granted the authority to increase the deposit insurance cap from $100,000 to $250,000 so that families do not have to worry about their money.***

Oh right that’ll solve it. And what if the FDIC runs out of money? Are we going to have it printed? Besides most people don’t have accounts with more than $100,000 so i doubt this would ease most people’s minds.

[WesternPacific]

If we do nothing, many businesses may fail. Sonic Corporation, a drive-in restaurant chain based in Oklahoma, learned on Thursday that one of its lenders, GE Capital, had stopped extending new loans to the chain's franchisees. That will block plans to rebuild restaurants, add equipment and open new locations.

And the problem is ???? In times of financial straights, companies as well as individuals have to adjust and stop spending.

[snippy_about_it]

McCain needs to hear the people. WE DON’T WANT THIS.

I’m voting for Sarah.
