Bob Barr offers a fresh start and a return to running the country the way is was designed to be run. Don't waste your vote on Obama or McCain. Vote for Bob Barr who will: - call for the abolition of the 16th Amendment and install The Fair Tax, - eliminate several cabinet departments that are involved in enterprises not called for under the Constitution, - get government out of our personal lives, and restore the Constitution to its place at the head of our society, and - restore fiscal sanity to our economy by implementing the above.

heads are gonna roll/ i see miniture versions of these thugs throughout state, county and city officialdom. elected and non elected are both interested in running my life and are willing to fine me or deny me my rights (not priveleges) in order to get me to comply. anything from signage on my building to the length of my grass at my rental,( i get the letter to comply or else, not evem sure if its my property) so vote out all these villians local and national who require the state to be in charge and to hell with your freedoms. remember to throw out your local bums, this includes the judicial where they are elected in. as a reminder this includes youe socialist school board.

Cody, You're not going far enough, bro. These people don't need to be merely fired, they need to be thrown in JAIL and have every red cent and every inch of property SEIZED to help pay for this mess. That means Bernake, Paulson and the CEOs/CFOs?COOs and other senior executives of WaMu, Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros, AIG and so on and so forth. Our young people are seeing extreme BS like this and wondering "Where is the responsibilty? Where is the accountability? Where is the justice?" I know I am not as finacially savvy as many of the posters on this blog, but after following this utter chaos for the last six months, what incentive do I have in buying stocks and mutual funds now? How does a person try to save and invest when the people running the markets are letting them go to hell? Does anybody remember all the commercials for WaMu, AIG, Citibank,Merrill Lynch and all of these other financial institutions who are or will be going under? Why would I but e*trade, Scottrade, or any of these other vehicles with the calamity going on nowadays? Cody?...Bueller?...Anyone?...I'm waiting... (sound of crickets...) Don't everybody answer at once...

Thank you for having the stones to tell the truth as far as you have gone.I think that many of these politicians should also be prosecuted and locked for not only letting this happen but insisting that it happen.

McCain is talking up bringing some of these guys into office with him, "if" elected. That's a big "if". Good piece Cody, well thought and said.

forget firing the bastards, lets charge all of them with treason. look up the definition, it fits. i say hang them by the neck until their dead/ or firing squads would be nice i am sure will be able to get a few "joe six packs to volunteer" after they are all convicted.

There are so many better ideas to resolve the credit freeze as discussed on Fox Business, but only Paulson's plan plus sweetners were considered and voted on even after the people of the United States told their Congress representatives to go in a different direction. Both Democrats and Republicans padded that bill with pork. All our representatives need to be held accountable on election day including both presidential candidates who followed the pork instead of the change that they promised to the citizens of the United States. Based on their actions, both presidential candidates promise more of the same. The DOW indicates our confidence in our government to do the right thing. The only group that is doing a good job is the FDIC. Everyone else should be fired or voted out. The government should replace Sec. Paulson with Dave Ramsey. If our government creates a Financial Czar like they did with Homeland Security, it will be a tragedy like the way Homeland Security handled Katrina.

All of the above. Fire them all.

You seem to have conveniently left out people like Barnie Frank, Chris Dodd and Charles Schummer. Why?? Those are the guys that looked the other way while sticking there hand out for a payoff. They should be hit with criminal charges.

Cody, I believe several people will echo this call. The little guys problem is how do we spread the word to do this. Your blog reaches a few if they read it but most won't. Few understand that we have been sold out. The little guys have no national organization to speak of. I have told friends for years that the 2 party system is failling. They still don't listen to me. My big question is how do we get the uneducated that live on the handouts the Democrats got them to not vote for them and how to we get the hard core Republicians to turn their vote. I know both parties have a lot off usefull idiots to fill in the votes they need where they need them. And if they don't have enough usefull idiots they just create them. The last 2 elections in this country have been who can produce the most useful idiots to get to the top of the pile of idiots. We can not take out nation wide ads as we don't have a pool of money to do it. I mean you call for action but how do we get the word out to and get people to do what you suggest. Are you going to start asking for donations to run nation wide ads or some thing of that nature? My suggestion would be pull all money we can out of the market and a nation wide strike until they go back and repeal the junk bill. A few days of them lossing all payroll income tax may have their heads spinning.

Why not tie the can to Barnet Frank, Chris Dodd, and Chuck Schumer.
