The Dow is down and all the naysayers on Google Finance can say is "it takes a while for the news to spread, it will go up eventually"

I call B.S.! We all saw how the bottom fell out on Monday when it looked like the bill wouldn't be passed by the house. The news was instantaneous. If this bill did what Congress promised, the dow should be spiking right now and be up 500 points. That's not what's happening.

Good thing all those in the house voted Yea to do the right thing. What a joke.

I'm surprised and impressed - my guy didn't change his vote - Chabot's NAY stayed a NAY - well done!

We're ALMOST at 50% of the NATION is employed by one level of government or another! They use those figures to OFFSET the TRUE UNEMPLOYMENT figures.

Government employment is a major factor to the failing economy today. Government at ALL levels are a LIABILITY on the TAXPAYERS. They DO NOT PRODUCE, THEY EXPEND AND DRAIN ECONOMIES!!!

In Kansas, overall voting remains unchanged from Monday, with Moore still being the lone "Aye" in the state. He needs to go.

As Rep. Moore's constituent, that is for sure.

Mine was a traitor two times, but I didn't expect otherwise.

I think we need to keep this in perspective. The passage of the bill does not repudiate our position, and it does us no good to give into cynicism or become obsessed with demonizing our opponents, even if they deserve it.

I do believe that we need to keep our promises to unseat those who voted in favor of this legislation because, regardless of their intentions, they are doing the citizens of this country no favors. But more than that, we need to stay on message and continue to promote the virtues of liberty rather than lowering ourselves to ad hominem attacks against those with whom we differ. After all, it is liberty that is popular, not acrimony.

Our vision is not against our opponents, but FOR the benefits of a free society and restrained government.

I'm proud of the stance our representatives took. They all voted NO each time, except Dennis Moore. What's his realistic chances for reelection in your area?

Someone reminded me all the Rep's are up for vote. A bad moment my part.

That makes it easy. Just know which ones said yes.

Painful though it may be, I hope the market goes straight into the sewer today to expose their lies! Can't wait for the spin!

Same here. I heard a couple congressmen talk about how stocks crashed when they voted no. Explain this guys

 

[hillertexas]

Suggestion. Can anyone organize this by States on who is up for election that voted yes?

Time is short. AZ John Shadegg voted yes and is up in Nov.

All add names for your State that you know are up for election and voted yes.

Not much time as some States are voting already.

I have started organizing a little here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=160763

my congressman, Visclosky, voted 'Nay' on Monday and 'Nay' today.

I called so much, that yesterday afternoon, after going trhough a litany of reasons why he should oppose the vote the receptionist said, "thank you I will pass this along to the congressman"

"Aren't you going to take down my name and address?"

"We already have it Mr. Cryderman. You've been calling all week"

Mission Accomplished! (if the mission was instant voice recognition from the intern answering the phone!)

off to buy canned food

I forgot all were up for election this Nov. Makes it easy to pick the ones that voted yes for your State.
