I'm going to spend a lot of that money to bring relief to you, and I'm not going to wait sixty days to start doing it.

Just STOP it! The more "relief" Washington tries to bring, the more damage they do!

Dow jumps 600 after governments pledge broad action to prop up banks

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average rebounded as much as 600 points today as Wall Street snapped back from last week’s devastating losses after major governments announced further steps to support the global banking system, including plans by the U.S. Treasury to buy stocks of some banks. All the major indexes rose about 7 percent.


Paulson calls for global action as investors wait for Wall Street

Associated Press October 12, 2008 21:08PM

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson called for coordinated, international steps to deal with the global financial crisis, warning a meeting of the world’s financial leaders that isolation and protectionism could deepen problems.

(snip)

Outspoken billionaire investor George Soros told reporters on the sidelines of the IMF-World Bank meetings that the crisis was the worst in his lifetime. He said that financial regulators “have been consistently behind the curve” in dealing with it, but added that “the policy direction now is much more productive than it was a week ago.”

U.S. lawmakers said they expected the Bush administration to take quick action on bank stock purchases to help unlock lending. The administration has not indicated when it would announce its next steps.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, said an administration proposal to inject federal money directly into certain banks, in effect partially nationalizing the banking system, “is gaining steam.”

Democrats also are lining up behind a plan by the leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi , a Democrat, to bring lawmakers back into session after the Nov. 4 election to work on a second economic relief plan.

He avoids the smear stuff -- Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko and the middle name nonsense -- that has dominated his team's message over the last couple weeks.

This part really set my spider-sense off.

About two weeks ago, wasn't there an interview with a McCain campaign official where the official said they were going to hit the Rezko/Ayers angle for two weeks, but then move on to something even more powerful for the rest of the campaign?

If I'm remembering that right (and I'm pretty sure I am), and given the FOX and CBS reports about the $200 million sitting ready to go (plus the rumors floating around about Rove having another $200 million with PACs/527s), we may just be seeing a coherent campaign plan being excuted as designed.

Too much to hope for at this point?

He damned well had better not foolishly try to push through Amnesty if he in fact is elected and as his senior staff is wanting to do, but keeping their mouths sealed.

He will face the wrath of so many that are working TIRELESSLY to put him in office.

Win or lose, we must have a MAJOR de-rinofication of the GOP from November 5th.

Do I have a witness, FR??

Yes!

De-rinofication starting November 5th. I had thought that it would have started in 2006, but the party leaders are too dense to understand the will of the electorate.

I don’t get it either. I work for a major defense contractor and several of my coworkers are for Obama. I tell them they might not have a job if he wins but they just don’t get it.

FR Bushbots and McCainbots of course will not go along with us on this, however, as I see it, that is where about 85% of FREE REPUBLIC would be. The post-election total de-Rinofication of the GOP.

They can stay as members, but in key leadership positions, they need to be purged, and given some token ownership, with the Party solidly reverting back to RONALD REAGAN.

What angers me most about McCain, is he has not planned a strategy based on an Economic Plan, or followed strict Conservative values in regards to the issues.

Obama’s “Economic” plan are total lies and it is totally obvious that he is just giving the Lemmings lip service in order to get their vote.

We know good and well that after he is elected, not one of his reasonable sounding plans will see daylight. But his Marxist redistribution of the wealth truly will.

Watch what happens after he doubles taxes on the large corporations, and goes after the “rich”. Not only that, his claim that he won’t raise 95% of American’s taxes, means that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts and say that is not an increase and all these so called “reductions” will come in the form of deductions that most of us won’t qualify for. Especially if we have very few debts or no children living at home.

I have lost all faith in the intelligence of the American public.

McCain is running the exact same campaign that worked so well for BoB Dole who ran in ‘96 against Klintoon. If you will remember, who was BoB Dole’s numero uno cheerleader, present at all times (just like Lindsey Graham is now) at BoB Dole’s right side? John McCain.........
