I have written to all my elected representatives telling them that THEY are the ones elected to do the people's business...NOT MR. PAULSON and that if they turn over the keys to the treasury and the power to use them to Paulson then we obviously don't need them. I will do my best to campaign against every representative that votes for this boondoogle. I suggest everyone write to your reps and let them know know that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! AND, I don't care WHAT party the belong to.....anyone who votes for this is NOT representing our best interest and can go.
LML..... You are one of the few people who seem to get it. No good electing a Govt. if it doesn;t do what it was voted in to do...... It's best for America and ALL American Citizens, not just the rich and CEO's. It's not Wrong to expect your hard earned tax dollars to be spent on you.

I just sort of took that "Of the people, by the people, for the people" seriously. I wish our government did.
The Fed. WON'T PAY for reconstructing Galveston and other hurricame hit areas.
Good. I'm tired of wasting my money to subsidize people's fantasy life-styles of living near ocean beach fronts.

Good. I can't afford to subsidize people's life-styles, and the 14th Amendment would force me subsidize care for illegal aliens.

Why should it? That's the state's responsibility.

We don't need new refineries. We'll be swimming in gasoline in about 16 months when the E85 Ethanol Fuel Standard kicks in and refineries will be shutting down or re-tooling their cracking stills to handle heavy oils.
New drilling won't help with gasoline prices since those fields are mostly heavy sour and intermediate sour.

That isn't the former-federal-turned-national government's responsibility. Per the US Constitution only the states have authority over education.
Money is not the issue in education. Other countries education their children at 1/10th the cost and produce better educated people.

The military's equipment works fine.

CEOs exist because you worship corporations.

Because you don't understand the that there are two ways to amend the US Constitution, and one of the two methods has never been attempted.
Why don't you turn off the tele for a few seconds and look into it.

If you don't like it, you can step back into a 1960s life-style any time you want, you just have to want to do that.

Again, you need that for your life-style. You can give it up any time you want.

No, wait about 6 or 7 years when about 50 Million are permanently unemployed.

That's your choice, as you choose to worship corporate CEOs, and no, Americans are not the hardest working.

That's a matter of opinion. Other people do view it as a crime. The US uses a disproportionate amount of resources and 50% of US resource use is wasteful.
If you can justify how Chlorox Kitchen Wipes makes US standard of living and quality of life superior to any other country, I'll look forward to being amused.
I hope you're ready to kill those who will start depriving you of your life-style and quality of life in about 10 years.
After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.
With this crisis it shouldn't matter what party just that they really want to make a big change for the American people.
Look at the Kucinich thread and see how many conservative posters have expressed some admiration and respect for him, because he goes straight for the jugular of troublesome issues, without wearing partisan blinders. He looks for a solution to problems, and when he gets an idea, he tells it like it is. If Kucinich ran as an independent, I believe he would get a lot of conservative voters over to his side, as well as most liberals.
Now, in the light of the present economic crisis, McCain and Obama look like the worst possible candidates. And our current president, when he deigns to give us a photo op, is proving beyond any doubt that he is absolutely the stupidest and most inarticulate human being to ever have been elected to any major public office.
Our Congress is thinking for the good of us, otherwise they would have just zipped this bill right on through the day it was introduced. And this Bail Out Bill isn't just a bail out, it's an investment plan. Do any of you opposing this not understand the consequences of this, if it does not go through? Virtually every single one of you, no matter how financially secure you think you are, will be out on the streets begging for food. Yoi! Double Yoi! Infact, I say buy, buy stock, buy bonds, but buy smartly and diversely. This is when personal fortunes are made. And these companies are not going to get off scott free, the FBI is investigating the major players, and including other companies totalling 26 all together. Yeah, it's not fair, but have you ever heard the expression life's not fair.

This is just another lie brought to us by the same people who lied us into the Iraq war. It is their "final solution" that has been well planned to bum rush our "representatives" into turning over the keys to the treasury AND the unlimited power to use them to an unelected official so that, no matter WHO is elected, they will continue to be able to loot our country without any fear of retribution. If our elected "representatives" are so blind and so foolish (or so corrupt) that they fall for this then it is time for the people to rise up and take our country back. I don't know why we stand by like sheep while they strip us of our constitutional rights, kill our sons and daughters, take away our jobs, and loot our treasury without comment. Our forefathers wouldn't even pay the tax on tea...or rum....and we are expected to pay for their yachts and jets. ENOUGH!
