Now on Fox: Pelosi twisting arms to get Repubs on board bailout bill; much push-back. Pelosi will not let this pass without Repubs on board in case it blows-up and Repubs can pin it on Dems. Race to complete before Asian markets open. The Adventure Continues...
This whole mess started when they came into power
Pelosi says Sen Dodd will hold hearings before the end of the year to find out how they got in this mess.I say the hearings will start after the election.
Sorry for the late delay...I haven’t been in the house lately. Went to my local MCCAIN/PALIN office and got some bumper stickers/t-shirts. :)

is a PDF file. Look at the top of page 22. This is the part in question by some FREEPers.
Senator Dodd will hold the hearings? Senator Dodd should be the subject of the hearings. How are Republicans letting them get away with this? It seems that we the people can’t do a damn thing about any of this.
The Four Horses-Asses of the Apocalypse!
This makes me sick.
I just returned from a R-rally featuring Senator Jeff Sessions.
His last statement was that the rally had been held today because he wouldn’t be available tomorrow - there is going to be a huge fight over this bill in the Senate!
Moments ago, Pelosi said “the bill is frozen...this is the bill that we’re presenting.”
The ACORN crap stays.
Senator Sessions also said that there was still ACORN money in the bill and that Senator McCain would not support it until he had read the entire bill -— which does not appear to exist as one has seen the bill!
He also said that Senator McCain is one of the few who actually reads all of the bills.
He's the subject of something...
Senator Hides His Sweet Deals When Will He Release Records?
Cough up those docs yet, Dodd....?
So let me make sure I got this right. Dodd is the subject of an investigation by his own home state’s newspaper. The television media gives him face time but asks not one question about his sweetheart deals with Countrywide? This is surreal. Republicans should be demanding his resigation just like the rats did with Lott and other Republicans.
Bunch of sellouts, it would seem.
…SEC. 105. RIGHTS; MANAGEMENT; SALE OF TROUBLED ASSETS; REVENUES AND SALE PROCEEDS.

(B) 35 percent shall be deposited into the Capital Magnet Fund established under section 1339 of that Act (12 U.S.C. 4569).
I hope this helps.
LOL,no doubt.
So...
It’s gettin late...
are we screwed or
are we screwed?

Very good 2 cents. You just put into words what I wanted to say thank you.
“Ignore the polls. McCain knows better than anyone what they are saying and he is still not on the campaign trail, and he knows Obama is, so we have to give him some credit, he has to know what he is doing. He would not lose the election on purpose. He IS putting the country first and I doubt he’d gamble this big without really feeling it will benefit him and the GOP in the end.”
I agree. It is very difficult to reconcile that 70 percent of Americans are against it, and yet Obama is leading in the Polls. I think the polls are propogandized and should be ignored. Just watch what McCain is doing because he is doing what his internal polls are confirming.
