My plea to "The One True GOD!" not the faker Nobama, let McCain just be giving the democRATs a headfake on this bill and vote NO in the end.

If he votes yes to all of this bacon he is finished.

What is wrong with these people?
I’d like to see a list, of every tax break, every new tax, etc. on this titanic-bill and who sponsored it.

I want to know who proposed the arrows?
What does that have to do with the mortgage fraud/bad loans?

"Wooden Arrows designed for use by children"

You're kidding!?!

If that is in the bill, it is good enough reason to vote "No."

Absolutely right. 75% of the electorate HATE this bill. He would secure the presidency if he votes against this...but he won’t.

I truly wonder how he’s lasted this long in Congress. A smart politician would vote NO on this bill.

WTH!!! Now I am REALLY ticked! They think we are really, really stupid. If McCain votes for this, I will not vote for him and I have emailed his office and told them. I don’t think he really wants to win.

Yep, and Jorge will probably sign it if it contains enough funds to appease his euro buddies. Hey, the lamestream has been talking-pointing how the bailout didn’t have enough for main street (read: free lard for the “insert downtrodden underclass of choice”).

Thanks to the Senate Conservatives Fund for posting the 451-page bailout behemoth here.

Crap sandwich redux.

Call your Senator: 202-224-3121.

A few of the earmarks stuffed in the bill:

- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill.

- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
- Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)

TWF?!?!?

This ain’t a crap sandwich. It’s a pulled-pork foot-long with extra-hot diarrhea sauce.

How does an emergency bill in order to avert an overnight collapse of the american way of life and of mom & apple pie get wool research, car racing and wooden arrows for children?

Are you F’ing kidding me?!? Are you kidding me!!?!

“What is wrong with these people?”

Tactically, they are giving House members “outs” to reject the bill openly, and that the public will understand because they will hear jokes about them through comedians.

Also, if this is such an EMERGENCY that has to be addressed RIGHT NOW then what is with all the pork?

I have never seen a group of politicians so ADDICTED TO OUR MONEY BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!

What part of IT'S NOT YOUR DAMN MONEY TO SPEND OR EARMARK don't they f**king understand?!?! I am sick and damn tired of these idiots.

They are such blood sucking vampires!

Sorry for yelling but I am really cheesed off here. (can't you tell?)

If only it were bacon.

Tonight, McCain and Obama will come together to serve the taxpayer and the citizen an oversized turd, fresh, hot, and steaming, with flies and everything.

The bill started at 3 pages

I'm pretty sure that isn't accurate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all bills are preceded by an overview of a few pages in length.

They are going to get away with this. Incumbents will pass this steaming pile and they will get reelected and will go down as heroes for saving us all from catastrophe for a while longer.
