CSPAN Live - Bailout Commentary Thread

[29ytsejam]

You can hear some Naysayers in the background yelling for the speaker to close the vote.

 

[sratiug]

If the party in charge wants a bill passed, they can hold the vote open as long as they damn well want to.

And that is a pathetic subversion of the democratic process in the house. It lets them offer bribes to change individual votes at this point instead of having to bribe everybody from the beginning.

CNN is telling us how horrible it is that the Nays have the majority. Fuck them

cnn can go blow

 

[texasbelle]

207 yea, 226 nay, 1 republican no-vote holding up the close. Looks like now is the time when people start getting solicited with payoffs to change their vote. Everybody is all grins and smiles on C-SPAN.

I have no idea what the Dow is doing right now, no financial websites seem to be working.

 

[Sarge]

Take that Fed and Wall Street Crooks!

 

[pacelli]

Dow down ~500 points, 4.09%; S&P is down 5.60%; NASDAQ down 5.9%

 

[Sarge]

LOL, now that the vote is going to fail some aye's are going to switch to nay's so they can take credit for it.

 

[Sarge]

My guess is it is McCain.
