We are in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes. Congressional inaction has put every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk. Yesterday the country and the world looked to Washington for leadership, and Congress once again came up empty-handed.

I find this email disappointing. Regardless, I plan to vote for McCain/Palin.

Whenever I read something, I pause at the first unsupported assertion. If the statement fails my test, I read no further. In this case we have three in a row.

I am not convinced that we are in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes. Why would he say that? The stock market rebounded today.

Congressional ACTIONs by Democrats led by Senator Obama are what put us in this situation.

Congress did not come up empty-handed in my opinion. They did the right thing to give us more time to develop options less risky to main street.

The Democrats forced socialistic policies on us behind our backs with their twisted and warped need for social equality. Every and anybody should be able to buy a house, even those who cannot afford one. According to their demented minds, especially Barney Frank, more socialism will fix the problem.

Main street is sick and tired of being treated like we are ATM machines for the Democrats to take more of our hard earned cash so they can push more failed policies on us!

Please Mr. President, take a time out to consider other viable options that actually help lighten the burden on the beleaguered middle class.

“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.”

You just don’t understand McC that the above statement rings hollow when compared to your current action.
Hey stupid, you just ignored the will of the people. Screw you, I will now not be voting for you in November.

We can still tell the house to vote NO.

I also received this email. I replied right back and told “him” (’cause obviously John is not gonna read an email from me :) he needs to SHUTUP with this bipartsanship crap and spend his time figuring out how to get the conservatives back on the train.

I also suggested they free Sarah. Let her do conservative radio. She’d be gangbusters! But I’m afraid they’ve got a bunch of bushbots trying to program her for the debate w/ Biden. Completely the wrong thing to do.

No need for me to watch Sarah on Thursday night.

This is why I can't get excited about McCain..He acts like bi-partisanship is his raison d'etre.

Well. There is a better way. Companies should be looking at equity vs debt for funding. This is easy to incent. Just lower capital gains tax rates, shorten the period for treatment, lower corporate taxes, give enormous tax credits for equipment and new hires. Reduce regulations.

The government wants to raise $700B to try to clear trillions of debt and derivatives in the mortgage markets. But today and yesterday we saw trillions of equity fluctuations in the U.S. equity markets.

Also by harvesting our energy resources we change the balance of trade, strengthen the dollars, and lower interest rates. Plus create jobs.

The size of equity markets is so huge that the above suggestions would infuse trillions and trillions of dollars of equity and cash into our economy.

We need a pro growth strategy driven by capital not debt, and to de-lever the whole economy. Right now the tax system is too friendly to debt financing, IMHO.

The fact that this is all gone missing on McCain is truly troubling.

Thanks for sharing this. It confirms that my decision not to vote for the traitorous bastard is the correct one.

I received the messages also, sent him a little piece of my mind. A rose is a rose, a BAILOUT by any other name is still a BAILOUT. Vote no

Better yet, give all the TAXPAYES ONLY $2 million each and see how fast this mess gets cleaned up. I will buy some of those foreclosed homes. Oh, my bad, not supposed to call them FORCLOSED homes anymore, may hurt the FORECLOSEE's feelings.

McCain does not get it.

Obama is voting present to protect his “viability”

has anyone seen mccain’s crowds on TV?

he has none based on msm video.

Obama has full crowds, mccain has no crowds.

"After a tense, closed-door meeting last week between the Treasury Secretary and Congressional leaders it was announced that the US economy is on the verge of utter chaos and total collapse, and if $700 Billion(!!!) isn't immediately dumped into a bailout (with no hearings or real debate, and don't ask too many questions), the nation will suffer a complete financial meltdown the likes of which has never been seen in the history of the universe, oh my God in heaven!" (/wide-eyed breathless gasp)

Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to fall for this crap?
I guess we'll find out tomorrow night (actually, tonight).
