Its the way you phrase the question... its the MSM to have deception... 78% not in ANY world would they go for it... they probably ask the question "Do you favor the government helping to stimulate the economy?" and then if you answered yes, then you are for the bailout.. of course nobody read it that way, that's why statistics LIE! Nobody that I know is in favor of the bailout... NONE... I will vote for the opposition of any Representative or Senator that votes for the bailout and I hope you will too...

Default They are big, fat LIARS!

There's a LOT of people that are VERY angry about this bailout, including me. I have been so pissed off. And a big, fat NO! I will NOT vote for anybody who supports this atrocious bill. I am so sick of being raped and pillaged by big business and big government. All of these jerks should be going to prison.

I don't mind the bailout but I like Kucinih's approach of giving credit to every american as a trust funsd in their investment. I would then demand that the executives that were in charge be terminated immediately, including the board, with no bonuses,m and no parachutes or benefits. Execs have traditionally been able to trash a company and walk away with 20 - 100 million which is obscene most F@#$ups are shown the door by security and not allowed on the premise again. And it's these people we are to give 700B to? that's crazy.
They didnt poll me, that's for sure.

This is why I distrust polls immensely. I have NEVER been polled on any topic.

Who owns USA Today? I have seen several things like this that don't seem to jive with the truth. I believe they have special interest backers and print articles to support their agenda.
