Paulson donated to many Rep candidates, but also to Bill Clinton back in 1992......and before that to Jay Rockefeller, another dem.

MSNBC is saying Republican House leaders need to bring 1/2 their members on board to get this passed. Why? Nancy Pelosi is House majority leader. That's means democrats have a majority. They don't need 1 republican "on board". Unless...

Huh? C-Span is live now, but they’re showing Charlie Rangel blathering on. Are there any Republicans in Washington, or is this going to be a RAT marathon?

I hope the House Republicans are behind the scenes working for us!

but probably needed to calm the markets.

that’s some awfully high stakes, and chance are it probably won’t calm the ‘market’. The longer it takes to get a bill with the Conservative Republicans having some input, the more probable a real solution

Ok- so we now give foreign banks money..

..who bought these ridiculous loans -packaged as securities...

.. while we borrow from these banks to pay for the bailout?

Have I got that right?

I’ll be back- going for aspirin...

Who said do nothing? Cut the taxes. Cut the spending. Cut the roadblocks to private enterprise. Cut the government. Drill for oil. Build refineries. Build coal plants. Build nuclear plants. Prosecute and jail the guilty. Hang the traitors. Let free markets reign! Set our people free!

Sounds good. Hard to do when you're the minority party, though.

“Actually, from what I have read, no, there isn’t. “

Well, actually, there is: Stocks to zero. Of course stocks are not all worth zero, but they really should be reset naturally to their true value and not based on speculation.

Good.

And how do you propose to do that, you know, with a Democratic Congress and in the next... Oh, I don’t know, forty minutes or so before the Asian markets open?

We can’t do any of those things if we blunder into getting Obama elected.

“The American public is going to pick up the tab for all foreign banks that engaged in these risky practices.”

The US is now the world police force, banker, food bank, health care center and dasha on the hill....and make the folks earning under $250K but over the welfare/poverty line pay for it!

Loot the US for the gipper and all that.

With Obama and a Rat congress they will start building an even bigger organization to flaten us in the next election.
They will intimitidate the press to only report good things..every new story and TV news will begin with ..Today Pres. Obama..bestowed something on someone.
Plus they will enroll so many illegals on the voter rolls that they will have a permanent majority.
Look at what Obama tried to do in Chicago and St. Louis with the press. The fairness doctrine will be only fair to Obama and the Rats.
This won’t be like Carter, because we are miles further gone now..with millions of illegals just waiting to pull the lever RAT=Socialist. Something for nothing..

For the following reasons, you ignorant git:

1) It’s the wrong way to solve this problem.

2) A huge portion of the public is against this bailout.

3) The Dems can pass this bill without the Republicans voting on it, so if it’s so great and so important, the Dems can just pass it themselves and take all the glory.

Flush what, the Republic? Because that’s what tanking the economy now does, effectively. it’s not even a matter of the exact numbers anymore. Either we pass this bill or the market tanks, Obama gets elected, and brings with him a large number of new Democrat members of Congress. That’s the stark reality. Any other belief is, simply, delusional. The House GOP took risks to get a better bill than they would have gotten last week - but now the clock is ticking down, right into the last hour. For God’s sake, this site started to expose the excesses and corruption of the Clintons - Obama is far worse than Clinton ever was. Several times worse, at the very least.

Concur

There is no way I want to see 40 more years of socialist Democrat rule and/or another world war to get them out of power. Obama as President can destroy this country. There will be no check or balance on him from any of the other 3 branches of government (yes, I'm counting the MSM as the 4th (and unconstitutional) branch of government because of their government based monopoly of power and influence).

Trust the people and the market.

Don't panic. Don't give advice from panic.

People Listen Up

Pelosi’s leftists do NOT have a majority. Her *party’s* majority is because of 25 Democrat seat warmers sitting in seats from GOP districts. THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS WITHOUT GOP COVER.

THAT is the problem. She can’t get her own people to vote unanimous because those 25 know they’ll be booted in Nov.

They GOP should transform this bill into ultraconservatism because they have total power and no blame. They can say . . . she could have passed the bill with none of our votes. She chose not to for purely political reasons, and sacrificed America in so doing.

I'll second that! hopefully we won't be a minority for much longer! Let's vote more pro capitalist leadership into our public servant positions!
