So much for our Republic.
The media has been perpetrating a huge lie all day that the constituents have changed their minds and have been urging their reps to vote for it!
I would love to see the numbers for every Senator.
Why couldn’t they pass legislation that piece mealed things? Durning that coarse of time they could have made a more rash chose and seen what results came of the piecemeal prospects.....
The FEAR is inciting action that I think is inappropriate.
Do you know how they found out how many calls, I would love to check other’s.
I’d rather have a Republic, but they didn’t even read the Bill.
Why pass a imperfect bill? I’m gonna send in a ‘imperfect’ tax return this year.
that’s our own difi,
the wife of a billionaire,
member of the the “democratic” party.
democrat, not.
So we kill it in the house.
We’re all to stupid to understand. Our representatives know best. /Sarcasm
They all disgust me!
Now will people start believing this was NOT about the economy and ALL ABOUT A POLITICAL SET-UP from the get-go?
Dems will kill the economy to pump up Obama’s numbers.
This bill will get killed in the House, Dow will drop another K and the opposition candidate’s numbers will rise in response.
Do you think Feinstein cares about the calls that came in? They just looked at them as a nuisance.
By the way, she will win handily in California the next time she runs because all the calls and all the BS mean nothing when it comes to the voting booth.
This is sick but, it is true.
Here' s one of them:
Notice what I highlighted that Feinstein said.To: ArkinsawFeinstein said her office had fielded 91000 calls and 86000 were “against” the bill. She went on to say they “just don’t understand it” so I am going to vote for it!
Typical ‘senatorial’ hubris. Obviously, she in not part of the 1/3 of the Senate up for re-election in 34 days!
What a self-absorbed traitor to her constituents and this country.
It certainly show how politicians don't care what the people want, they vote their politics and pocketbooks.
i tried calling all day couldn’t get through
i think they shut the phones down.
Of the 6000 remaining calls, well over half were "Die, b!tch, die!"
1. FBI calling all cars 2. FIRE PAULSON 3. Perp walk bad guys and make them pay restitution. (stuff like that as opposed to these phony bills where we have the prez and congress, media, et al playing the American people like violins.)
The answer here is the GOP needs to make the Dem House members pass this thing tomorrow. We few or no GOP votes.
Then the GOP can run against the incumbent Dem House members on this issue.
And win big.
I’m not sure why McCain couldn’t reach this same conclusion.
It’s a robbery. They try to scare us and then take our money. This is a stickup.
“Is this a Democracy or a dictatorship?”
A republic, though one in which influential multinationals and foreign states have more influence than actual voters...
Silly me. I thought in a representative democratic republic, we elected legislators and expected them to vote according to their knowledge, understanding and opinion as to what is best for the country.
I didn’t think Congresscritters were SUPPOSED to wet their finger to see which way the electorate is blowing and simply do what the masses want. Huh.
I guess I don’t remember anything from Civics class. I’ll have to go take a refresher course.
