MANASSAS, Virginia, Oct. 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Opposition to the $700 billion Wall Street bailout is the conservatives' path toward winning control of Congress in the 2010 elections, Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said.
"Conservatives will challenge, in primaries and general elections, both Republicans and Democrats who vote for the bailout. In the next election, you will see the election of a new generation of principled conservative leaders - a change that will remake Congress," he said.
Viguerie added: "The American people have recognized the bailout for what it is - an attempt by the economic and political elite to extort money and power at the expense of the American taxpayer and of future generations. Many of the bailout supporters will get away with it this year simply because it's too late for someone to run against them. But wait 'til the next election.
"As I've noted before, the Panama Canal Treaty in 1977 dramatically changed the face of American politics, with 21 of the Senate's Treaty supporters going down to defeat in the next two elections and only one Treaty opponent losing. The bailout is one of those defining, us-versus-them issues that reveals, in one vote, who is on the side of the people and who is on the side of the Wall Street and Washington special-interest fat cats and their lobbyists."
"The potential for change is even greater than in the case of the Panama Canal treaty," Viguerie said, "because only Senators voted on the treaty, while this issue will affect both Senators and members of the House."
Nice thread though. I like what you've done with the place.

We need conservatives running against RINOs all over the country in 2010. And, then against Democrats.
I’d say the large majority of these d*mn senators don’t have a clue what they are doing up there, besides getting a paycheck. It’s pretty bad when the citizenry see this for what it is and those in congress don’t.
Great. So the bailout is a good thing. Cool.
most Americans took 6 months to forget about 911...its going to take less time to forget about this Bailout....
I give it till after the Election, than its forgotten....
The truth is getting out there. Hannity was saying that just today. Its taking a while because we don't have a fair and responsible msm. Eventually, they will be forced to cover it.
FACT: Carter Administration started Fannie Mae
FACT: Democrats expanded Fannie Mae twice
FACT: Democrats blocked all attempts to regulate FM
FACT: Democrats chided criticism of FM as racist
FACT: Democrats ridiculed hearing as "public lynching of Frank Raines"
FACT: Democrats cussed and dissed the regulator attempting to rein in FM in a 2004 Senate Hearing
FACT: President Bush tried numerous times to regulate FM but was blocked by Democrats
FACT: McCain co-authored bill to regulate FM in 2005, blocked by Democrats
FACT: DEMOCRATS ARE TOAST IN THIS ELECTION. DO THEY KNOW IT YET? THEY WILL :)
Agreed!! How the heck is McCain going to be the new “sheriff in town” if he gets elected if he is afraid to kick arse and take names now when everything is at stake.

I refuse to support any politician who votes in favor of this bailout. final, period.
Commensurately, it is important to actively promote those who oppose it.
For one, Mike Pence, who should be Minority Leader en route to running for President in 2012.
This and energy security.
We need to keep the pressure high. We beat Dubai Ports, we beat amnesty (at least for now), and we can beat this. But as with amnesty, we’l;l hve to keep the pressure on to keep it down. Our so-called representatives are trying to outlast us.
The pork and other crap in the bill sucks, but if the buying and later selling of the undervalued assets works well and quickly - and if the dumb moves that led to it are fixed - then the bill will be a success and a good thing for the economy and the taxpayers. Certainly better than the alternative of doing nothing.

I'm a very ordinary American who will feel less confident.
How can anyone trust something so arbitrary?
With energy costs so high...
This is not the time to invest in Rube Goldberg machines.
NICE. CATCHY. I like it!!
I like the way the word DEMron very simply attaches a very complex scandal to the party most responsible for it.
