Uh, this is a Democrat, no scratch that, this is a socialist bill. There will be no end to socialism in America if we allow this to pass. Best take our lumps now and enjoy our freedom while we still have it.

Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, et al, are loving it. Bush and Paulson are making their socialist dreams come true. Obama’s already taking credit for saving America from the Great Depression ver 2.0! There will be no stopping them now.

What on Earth are you talking about?

One, how is this “socialist” by any definition other than “any sort of governmental financial activity is socialist”?

Second, how do you propose to get a better bill out of an Obama Administration, which is what failing to pass this will bring on?

“There will be no stopping them now” if, and only if, Obama can defeat McCain in the election. I’m standing with McCain/Palin. This is going to be a close election (assuming the economy does not tank, there is no run on the banks, and unemployment does not skyrocket).

I'm content with the majority of Republicans, even all of them, voting against the bailout as long as it passes. I don't want another Great Depression starting this Fall. The Bush administration is unable to prevent one without some bailout bill and the dwindling minority of conservative Republicans sure can't stop one either. Only a compromise with the socialist Democrats avoids that scenario. I'm surprised the Democrats lifted a finger to stop the bank runs. The worse the economy the better they will do in the elections because the MSM will blanket the country with propaganda blaiming it all on Bush and the Republicans. It's not fair but it is reality.
