If all of you would vote for Joad Cressbeckler, The Candidate for the Working Man, America would be restored to greatness! Our destiny of being an exceptional nation would be realized! No pretenders! Joad has even challenged McCain and McCain is afraid to respond!

We will face the same problems once the 850 billion has been squandered. Nothing in the bailout package addresses the root cause ~ the wild and reckless deregulation of the banking industry. Without regulation, we (or, most certainly, our children) will revisit this same problem.

It will end when:
Paper currency is backed again by silver or gold rather than an "In God We Trust" statement.
Credit cards are no longer issued to fiscally irresponsible people who cannot pay them off totally every month. Better to issue Debit cards only. If you don't have the money in the bank, you don't impulsively buy what you want but don't need.
The house of play money (credit that has no way of being repaid) is falling. Who is to blame. Anyone who owes out, which includes politicians and people who voted for them.

Hey J$,
Perhaps you need to better understand the electorial college and its benifits before expressing such ignorance. Seems to me after living on the left coast for about a decade and spending years on the Right coast that both sides forget the bread basket even exist. 90% of our politics are determined by people in cities who have no clue about rural life. When enough people in the rural areas get ticked off enough to show up and vote you think there is something wrong instead of asking yourself what it is you have done to tick that many people off.
Yes both the DNC & RNC candidate, Republican President, Democrate Controlled House & Senate are all on the wrong side of this bail out. It is not a bail out but a borrow out that will cost us severly. It is there way of trying to lessen the consequences of their failed policies instead of allowing a cleansing period that we are probably due for.
No one is free from guilt in regards to political parties here and most of us American Citizens are just as guilty. If we didn't have a hand in it we probably turned a blind eye to it which is just as damaging.
What do we expect when people vote for people who do not even live any where close to the same reality each of us do. How can you expect them to have the same values when they don't have to deal with the consequences. The sad truth is, each side represents what we are if we didn't have to live with our own consequences and the fact is we can't stomach the truth about ourselves.
If you want to make a difference live a life that shows your Federal and State Governments that you really don't need them. That you can build a support group of friends and family that help eachout out and don't have an entitlement mentality but instead an attitude of servitude. This is America, be the government you want before the one you don't want is forced upon you.

What we should do, is not vote...see...our votes don't really count thanks to our electoral college. Proof should be in the house voting in the 700 billion dollars. Those are constituants that WE elected, that went AGAINST the MAJORITY of the people, to put in this corporate bailout. WHEN WE ALL DON'T VOTE, AND THE MEDIA KEEPS REPORTING THE "HIGHEST TURNOUT FIGURES IN THE LAST 60 YEARS" WE WILL KNOW THAT ITS A SETUP LIKE THE LAST 2 ELECTIONS...liars stay liars everyone, and continue to lie more and more. Don't ever forget that. Don't be fooled by silver tongued politicians any longer. If you feel the need to vote, write in Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich...or vote for Nader...because all Nader represents is "option C"..."none of the above"

Fine words Blah - so who should we vote for? Nader? Baldwin? McKinney? Calling people stupid is pretty easy - voicing a sound political argument is a lot more useful though difficult.

Hey, all you not so intelligent sheeple who are casting your 'vote' for barack or mcSame, they BOTH voted to pass this horrible piece of legislation that will hurl our country and the world into a deep painful DEPRESSION unlike any other in the history of the world. Good job keeping your heads firmly tucked up your rear-ends and worshiping these candidates like the good sheeples you are. anyone who voted for this 'bailout' should be tried for treason immediately.
