“We have acted boldy” That is what Bush said. The only thing done boldy was the screwing of the Americans who pay their bills know what they can afford and don’t let plastic rule our lives. I have said in other chat forums that if my Rep. voted yes then I’ll vote no on them. It might not be a solution to the problem but it’s a start. My wife and I would be open to any non-violent revoulationary ideas that folks in the same position as us would have. This is a sad day and we are mad as hell.

I like your idea of defecting. Can someone provide a list of safe Mom and Pop banks not involved with being bailed out?

Also, I say the autos are next to be bailed, GM.

Thank goodness THE bill has passed. Now the federal govt can bail out my IRA, my 401k, and my wife’s accounts. Kind of makes me regret staying current on our mortgage—they could have paid that for me also!

Cody,

I’ve been watching you on Happy Hour today and I’m glad to see you’re not letting anyone there forget that this is socialism. And I wish they would stop referring to it as a “rescue” plan and use the more correct “fleecing/bailout”.

With the Repubs agreeing with the Dems on socialism (only disagreeing about the speed at which to travel toward it) I’m even happier to be voting Libertarian.

good job cody, call a socialist a socialist, it makes them very uncomfortable.
if the people ( and it can only come down to people )whish for more money (which is the portable and physical representation of value earned) why should they be excused from having to reenter the work force from scratch and come up with their own money to start another venture? (like normal workers would do) let them risk their own cash not the people that work and pay taxes. So how many more hours, days and years must i work to further the needs of these clowns/bums. it is more acceptable to be robbed on the street as there is no confusion about motive and rights, at least the possibility of legal redress through the courts and penal system is available for me. the clowns and bums of socialism are about to point their courts and guns at myself and family, where do we go & what can we do when they are willing to use force against us. so first to be robbed then enslaved, what happens to me if they can no longer get anything out of me?

Keep up the fight, Cody…

I am a small business owner that pays my taxes and pays my bills. I do not depend on a line of credit to make my payroll, but I depend on a free market system to make my profits. I live within my means and I save what I can. My investments and retirement plan have taken a significant hit, but both were calculated risks on my part. I do not require or request to be bailed out. I do not expect my neighbors to rescue me or to indemnify my losses. This is obviously not the prevailing sentiment in this country right now… a sad day for free market capitalism.

From this depressed, angry, sad and terrified, capitalism loving, free market supporting, conservative, freedom loving, naturalized american citizen with a history of voting republican, cuban-exile, I just want to say to you all.

Good Luck “comrades”. Welcome to where I was born.

Things to remember in case you’re not suicidal enough

McCain is the democrRATS favorite republican
And Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez and Vladimir Putin all think Obama would better “lead” the USA

I WANT TO GIVE UP. THIS IDIOTIC CONGERSS IS SO ENTRENCHED, EVEN THE BALLOT BOX NO LONGER MATTERS.

THE “CAPS” ARE FOR A REASON.

I no longer have a party I can vote with.

Thanking you in advanced because the odds of being able to later is very up in the air,
James F.
