The heros and the zeros.
Good to see that Senate Republicans are smart enough to follow Republican leaders’ directions on CER unlike their House counterparts. Maybe this election is not lost after all.
Sorry I disagree, the bailout is a disgrace.
It certainly is a disgrace. People who make bad financial decisions should suffer the terrible consequences of their actions.

Ya’ll get on them phones!!!
It turned Mary Landrieu,(D)La. around...
But- I never made bad financial decisions! Neither did millions of others who've already had a good chunk of their their retirement savings wiped out.
Even if the markets do slide a few hundred points, big deal. it will just turn into a buying spree when people fee it's safe enough to get their funds back out of low yielding bond markets, and hopefully get some good deals and recover some of their losses.
The "bail out" is nothing but a pork barrel now.
There’s nothing like an election in 33 days to convince you to vote NO.
Most Senators didn’t have to worry about that.
The media will have to stop talking about the “crisis” if a bill passes in a few days.
This will slow down the momentum they’ve been creating for Obama with the “crisis” atmosphere.
Letting Obama win because John McCain takes the blame for the crashing of our economy would be a disgrace.
Well there is more in the bill other than the bailout. Carbon taxation being one of them....
More than one reason why I am against it.
investment in a market artificially supported by credit that was not warranted and artificially inflated real estate and stock prices WAS A BAD INVESTMENT. I paid my debt down, I invested locally; why the hell should I be paying for your poor investment decision.
If plan fails media blames McCrapper
If plan passes media credits Odumbo (unless plan fails, then they give it back to the big mac)
if economy turns around media credits Frank, Dodd and the messiah.
if economy continues to tank media blames the rino’s that voted for the plan etc, etc....
What are you going to be when you grow up, a professional Monopoly player?
“I never made bad financial decisions! Neither did millions of others who’ve already had a good chunk of their their retirement savings wiped out.”
Who ever told you that “investing” in the Stock Market was risk free?? If you want a risk free retirement acct go to Bank of America and open a savings acct and get your 0.01% interest and you’ll have nothing to worry about. It’s people like you that don’t understand risk and the process by which the Capitalism system works that are going to drag this county in the pit of Socialism — steal a line from one of the few reasonable in touch Sentors — and destroy the American middle class in the process. If there is not allowed to be failure then by def than can not be success.
