Can I see a roll call on this? Who voted how? I'm pissed about them tacking needless pet provisions on something of this gravity!

And tucked away in the tax provisions is a landmark health care provision demanding that insurance companies provide coverage for mental health treatment—such as hospitalization—on parity with physical illnesses.

Wow, apparently, I am getting better service from my Dem Senator than my GOP Senator here in Florida. Somehow, I am close to Bernie Sanders than my own Presidential candidate.

Besides rhetoric. I am serious. You have to sit back and take a look at the situation. I am not for the bailout, but we will go down the tank quickly with this plan. You, me and your neighbors may not have a job, next week, our children may not have money for school. What do you want J. McCain to do....let it happen. The Dems are holding the cards....the game is you and I...

JOHN AGAIN TAKES A FALL FOR HIS COUNTRY!!!
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.

COUNTRY FIRST!!! He has been saying this all along...The Democrats sold us out, they are holding us ransom...or else we will pay......hence vote yes or else....

Dang...Wake up....Time to UNITE NOT DIVIDE!!!

WE NEED TO SHOW JOHN OUR SUPPORT...UNITED WE STAND!!!

TSHIRST AND SIGNS WHEN HE SHOWS UP...UNITED WE STAND

An extra 350 pages of "tucked away" thingies.

What does that kick it up to, 900+ Billion? (a downpayment, BTW)

That ALONE was reason not to vote for this POS!

I am disappointed to see that Cornyn (TX) voted Yes.

I guess he doesn’t need my campaign contribution, or my vote in November.

I heard, I think DeMint, on the Mark Levin show earlier, who said that President Bush demanded they come up with a bill, even heavy with pork to buy votes if they had to, and get it passed today, period! Oh, and the other demand was that it not have anything in it that the dims would be against.

The actual article neither names or quotes anyone who opposed this in the House softening or praising this.
It does quote dems in the House who don’t like some of the Senate add-ons.
