Rep.Barney Frank said “No solution to a problem can be more elegant than the problem itself.” Senator Shelby knows better, the elegant solution is “NO”. Which part of NO is Frank having a problem understanding, the “N” or the “O” ? Anyone who votes for this abortion has just touched the third rail, and will be ejected from the game.

Ditto to Tom Dendler
& I’m a lifelong Dem. Give the money to people to keep their homes, to cities to save their infrastructure & to pension plans to save their retirees.
& let’s do some nice clawbacks starting w/ Paulson.
Otherwise if you’re an incumbent I don’t care whether you’re Rep., Dem or Green. You vote for this. You’re out.

It is beyond time for a third party! 10 trillion and growing is attributable to the excesses of the two prevailing political partys. We need change, but not the kind that Obama proposses. We need to through out every existing politician and replace them with new blood. Lets call it the peoples revolution.

I am sick to death of incompetent, greedy, lawmakers. How is it that these bastards go to Washington broke and come back rich? How in the hell did Obama get a million dollar home on his senate salary. The whole system stinks.

Those quanting thieves with their ever more complex schemes have dug their own graves and shall sleep in them. Why Main Street should bail out Wall Street is beyond belief, those scam artists should be forced to disgorge their ill-gotten gains over the last five years and locked up for life. Same goes for commission-based mortgage brokers, bankers, credit rating agencies and other assorted scum.

I have been a life long republican and voted in every primary and general election since 1964, not always for republican candidates.

If the bailout is passed I will contribute money and time to the oponent of every member of the house and senate that voted for the bill here in South Carolina.

I am not a conservative but a libertarian and this bailout stinks. If anyone thinks the government can buy assets at a price they can make a profit on they must be on Mars. The taxpayer will loose and the wealthy will buy these assets from the government cheaply and make huge profits. I just wish we could have a constitutional convention and change the ways things work but that is a lost cause.

The pain Wall Street chiefs might be feeling is nowhere close to the pain ordinary Americans are experiencing.

“Or will the old Wall Street culture return once Wall Street has finished licking its wounds? ”

Wow. Has anyone really witnessed the end of it? Can it ‘return’ if it never ended? Anyone who thinks greed will magically go away because if this is a complete moron.
