I live in Alabama and was totally disgusted that only one Alabama Republican representative (Aderholt) voted no on the house bailout bill. If Senators Shelby and Sessions vote for any bill that sticks the taxpayer for bailing out the idiot Wall St. bunch, then you may see the death of the Republican Party in Alabama. I’m still watching to see what McCain does. If he votes for a bailout bill using taxpayer money, then he will certainly loose the election.
I just finished sending e-mails and faxes to MCcain and Kyl to vote NO!!! Also added to Mc Cains “ Fight For US”!! They are both my senators. By the way, Sessions is great.
Yeah, I'm proud of our senators (and Aderholt), but I don't get the actions of the house. I called my rep (Bachus) yesterday and expressed the hope that he would get it right next time.
Another surprise was to find that Bachus is pretty high up on the list of Fannie Mae political contribution recipients. Hopefully that's nothing more than coincidence. However, Shelby's also pretty high on the list, and his opposition has been fierce and consistent.
