ACORN will be in the new House bill, I can guarantee it.

Yep, and it will only take a few dozen thug democrats to switch their votes to AYE and it will be done.

You can talk of staying true to conservative principals all you want. But we ARE in a serious economic situation. Just because the stock market didn’t drop another 700 points the last 2 days, does not mean everything is OK.

This bail-out is the wrong medicine for the patient's condition. It may momentarily relieve symptoms, but it will actually aggravate the underlying pathology.

Doing nothing would be better than doing the wrong thing.

Can I vote none of the above? At this point I think none of the above could win the election in a landslide.

It appears that a vote for Sen. McCain is a vote for Obama and his ACORN thugs.

McCain may have just thrown this election away. Is that him between Dodd and Barney?

They obscured it, but ACORN is still there. It was the only way they could get the looney left senators (and Obama) to back it.

Our hope is now in Sarah. I hope she will speak out against this atrocious bill!

She will be asked tomorrow night and she won't. She'll squirm and talk off topic, but won't explicitly say it shouldn't have been passed.

I believe Stabnenow voted “Nay”. I was shocked, but I’m pretty certain that’s what I saw.

And when I say fiat money I mean it. This is like taking some Goodwill off the book. Goodwill is equity built upon reputation. It’s the premium you pay to get a piece of the action. The rest of world doesn’t like our cash? Let em use theirs. When the entire world goes down, we’ll be the last man standing. China doesn’t and has never used mark to market. This is poker. Let them call our bluff. They won’t. For the time being, macro-economically speaking, we win even. Why? We had the goodwill to spend.

“No, McCain didn’t have to do this.”

He’d have gained a lot of traction in the polls if he’d opposed this. Almost everyone opposes this bill. Lots of libs do, lots of moderates do, and a heck of a lot of conservatives do. He could have won a lot of swing voters by fighting this.

Exactly. The bill is much better because of the Republican input so people on this forum need to wake up and be realistic. No bailout=economy collpase= Obama Presidency.

You are right, this doesn’t address the root cause of the problem.

But like in a medical emergency, you have to stop the bleeding and save the patient. Later you can do detailed analyis/testing, reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation.

So you better hope McCain wins, so when the root cause is addressed next year, at least there will be some conservative voice out there. What do you think it will be like with President Obama and a larger democratic house and senate?

I took your advice and I just found $1.21 under my couch (thats net $.28 after Obama raises taxes.)

Actually, we should teach the school kids how to dig for loose change since they are the one’s who will be paying off the $700,000,000,000.

We’re going to get socialism anyways. No matter which way you slice it, it’s coming and there’s nothing we can do about it.

John McCain did work to get a better deal. He has said that if he becomes President he will get out his veto pen. He is only one vote now and can’t veto the entire bill yet. It was going to pass with or without him. Wait til he gets to the White House, then he can do a lot more. I still believe in him.

China has never required mark to market valuations. They are hiding all their excesses. This is our first time to use a lifeline. We have been valuing stuff at buyer’s offer price not historical or what the seller thinks it’s worth. We use the toughest accounting standards in the world. Of course we are pussing out because of it but hey it’s the first time so people will go for it.
