Yeah, a package alright. A corporatist package. Is Bush returning favors to his campaign donors? hm

Just reading that quote reminds me of a stubborn child having a temper tantrum.

I've got a package for him

I've got a package for him

Yeah, that's right where my mind went too.

I read on another site that Pelosi has enough votes to pass it, but she doesn't want to bring it up for a vote because it will align the Democrats with Bush.

She needs the RINO vote to make it bipartisian.

I also heard that there are enough RINOs on board that the bill would still pass even if the blue dog Dems vote against it.

I would really like to know who the Repubs are that are for it. Anybody know?

Is it just me, or does it sound like he almost says "something suspicious must be done" instead of "something substantial". Love it when the truth almost escapes.

My way or the pot-hole ridden, banana republic-grade, gridlocked highway.

Might makes right.

Stay the course.

I am the Decider.

Let them eat cake.

You know what really irratates me is this is a huge headline above the market ticker on yahoo finance. This is such propaganda crap. When the heck are our representatives going to listen to their constituents and stop acting like nanies...oh yeah when it ceases to benefit their bottem line. Looks like a long drawn out depression is in store."The better to own you," say tptb....

Yahoo is from the Heart of SOCIALISM of America... the California Bay Area. They too have been re-electing the same Losers TERM after Term.

Nancy Pelosi
Zoe Lofgren
Dianne Feinstein
Barbara Boxer
...the list is Long and Disgusting.

Pure and simple bail out of the rich.

Pure and simple bail out of the rich.

It isn't complicated, it's just ugly.

America doesn't DO ugly.

America likes pretty, tied neatly with a festive bow.

 

[ShowMeLiberty]

Just my humble taxpayer's opinion, but if this bailout gets passed in spite of the overwhelming opposition of the people, would that not amount to taxation without representation?

It does for me, and thusly have I apprised Boxer, Feinstein and Waxman, the pigs at the public trough who purport to represent me.

It stands to reason that if the entire American financial community is in crisis, so am I. And yet, though I am an American citizen by birth and am expected to pay taxes, not one of the swifty nifty bailout or assistance programs accrue any benefit to me…beyond the vague but patriotic comfort I am meant to derive from our propping up companies that are too lousy to succeed and too large to fail, and our bailing out individuals who are either too crooked or too stupid to fare well by means of ordinary free market commerce.

I do not feel comforted, on the contrary.

I contend discrimination by marital status. I contend discrimination by property ownership. I contend malfeasance. Finally, citing a premise fundamental to the birth of our nation, I contend taxation without representation.

As you know, the October 15 deadline approaches for those who, like me, filed extensions on their income taxes.

I require a formal Redress Of Grievances to determine what, if any, income tax I owe in light of sustained and brutal occupation of a foreign land, to which I hold such conscientious objection as to undermine the quality of my daily life, and now in light of fiscal tomfoolery that is being perpetrated at taxpayer expense but from which I derive no benefit.

Bearing in mind that it would be undemocratic, unreasonable and unjust to oblige me unto ruinous legal expense in order to register a legitimate and honorable request for Redress Of Grievances, I await advice on how to proceed.

"Because I want it, and I always get my way. It is a tradition amongst the families of the Uber Rich. You wouldn't understand because it is very complicated. I don't understand complicated either...in that respect, I AM one of you...but I know that it benefits me. And what benefits me and mine IS the bottom line."
