I hear you too a degree (on McCain and not wanting to vote for him).....

But this election is bigger than your domestic politics. It needs to be, that is. This attitude is terribly selfish while we have 140K (+) troops engaged in a war....A war as CinC Obama will see to it these warriors are cut out at the legs.......After shedding blood day in and day out for the past 6 years for everyone in this country....

Putting a man such as Obama as CinC right now is unimaginable......and beyond selfish for any who would do such over domestic political issues. This is not the year, not the time in history for such....

The principled choice now is to put your own domestic issues on the back burner while making sure you stand firmly and fully behind the warriors who are giving all down range 24/7 (and have been for the past 6 years +). You do that by making sure above all else they at this time in history have a CinC that you know is committed to their success...Not their failure....

The GOP needed to defeat McCain for domestic reasons during the primary.......That did not happen. Now, we circle the wagons and make sure he is our next POTUS/CinC....

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.

You're parading this level of defeatism and you have the nerve to hurl insults at others? Please.

"Seems I remember him nearly fumbling it in the debate, too."

I saw that as well. Reminded me of "Harold and the Purple Crayon".

Learn your history. McCain is not gutless.

You are gutless sitting in your little room on your computer typing endless complaints because things in your world aren’t just so.

Good, then we're agreed. You'll stop reperesenting the condenscending, sexist sleeezebag contingent of sidewalk surfers and stop distracting the adults that are trying to keep this country from descending into full on Marxism.

And I'll go back to ignoring you.

Whoa there dawg, sure don't sound like you're ignoring me, does it? Apparently I wasn't distracting any adults. Have a nice little pout there. I recommend you bookmark this post, and come back a year from now and show me how you tried (?!) to save the country from Marxism, and I don't mean the Groucho kind. I'll await your next annular post. TIA.

Obama voted “aye” on the bailout?

That does it! I’m not voting for him.

Yes, the CRA may have started it, but I believe what DeMint said about China and Saudi Arabia. They bought the bad loans and have no interest in the properties secured by the mortgages. They may be threatening to withhold “investment” until we solved the problem. Not much we can do - we have slowly let those countries get us by the short curlies. Remember when we all used to ignore the National Debt as it was just “money we owed ourselves”???

But how is it better to a) print nearly one trillion more dollars/further devalue the dollar, or b) borrow another trillion from our enemies in China and the middle east? Seems to me that that is much more dangerous than a recession.

What time did he vote? I believe (and I could be waaaay off here) that the holiday only lasted until sundown.

It’s not defeatism when you know it’s going to happen.

The fact is that it’s coming, there’s nothing you can do, so you’ll have to accept it when it comes.

Using that as a qualifier, who are we going to vote for? Someone who is Hitler-like in his cult of personality? Or are we going to vote for someone who at least more tolerable?

I’ll vote for McCain, you can vote for the Quasi-Hitler, for all I care. Understand, though, that reality is a cruel mistress.

Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution states that, “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.”

Doesn't this suggest that the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 could not have originated from the U.S. Senate.

I can see that the U.S. Senate can amend existing appropriation bills. But the original “bailout” bill was defeated by the House of Representatives.

Shouldn't this new bill have originated from the House of Representatives? And if so, couldn't the House of Representatives ignore this bill because it did not follow Constitutional procedure?

“We will in Sarah Palin.”

Let’s first pray for her in the debate tomorrow night - critical - a one-shot deal. At this point, a lot’s riding on it. A lot.

No we didn’t have to do this....but you can continue to drink the kool-aid....

I won’t even try to explain why....Google is your friend....lots of reasons out there why this bail out is the demise of America as we know it. (the straw that broke the camel’s back)

McCain had an opportunity to capitalize of the 90 percent of Americans that were intensely opposed to this bill and he blew it.

“We DO need to start calling loudly for Frank and Dodd to resign.”

yes, it borders on criminal, if not criminal in fact, their conflict of interest/unethical behavior in light of their committee positions.

but also, I’ve long said Pelosi should be impeached from HER position and unspeakable abuse of her power at the expense of the country. ditto for Reid.

......... and one year later, the hungry, scared, sick, general population will be saved by the Messiah. Molding them into proper, obediant subjects will be childs play. An amatuer communty organizer should be able to handle the job with his eyes closed.

McCain just lost my vote. WOW, I didn’t think I’d say that.

Hold on, let me fulfill the role of the typical freeper who would have normally attacked your post.

So Carling, you are saying that you support socialism, yes? You hate our troops, yes? You love abortion, yes? You hate America, yes? What other reason could you possibly have to vote against McCain?

God bless America, Carling, for you are surely going to hell.

Haha.
