NO.

Republicans who voted for this farce will come out the winners.
DemocRATS are on tape as to their deceptions.

The market will right itself. LET IT ALONE!

NO BAILOUTS!

[gidget7]

How can this bill failing, and “R”’s voting against it, possibly go in favor of the O? 90% of the public opposed it!

[Kirkwood]

Do you even know how the voting went along party lines?

[pissant]

You the same guy who called Tancredo an extremist? LOL

[sinanju]

Sorry, but the disgust I see at congress is pretty even-handed.

[aroostook war]

“caving to pressure from their constituents on a subject they do not fully comprehend.”

Are you serious? Leave it to the “experts?”
Try again.

I would say current economic events and the vote not passing today may very well lead to huge gains in the House and Senate for Democrats and an Obama landslide. I pray I am wrong but I feel this 2006 redux all over again but 10 times worse.

[outofstyle]

I do not agree. This bailout was opposed by the American public 2:1. The Lib philosophy has always been that the people are stupid and must be sustained by the ruling elite.

Do you buy that?

[GOP_Raider]

95 Dims in the House voted against this bill. Whither those Congresscritters?

[Tench_Coxe]

Welcome to Free Republic.

I would add to you post, "I have been a Republican all my life, but because of the vote in the House on the Bailout Bill, I will vote for Obama and any Socialist....errr, Democrat here and ever after.."

[PhiKapMom]

You signed on this summer and already doing a vanity the sky is falling.

Give us a break — we need a new rule — NO vanities unless you have been here for five years or more and especially no vanities in News Activism.

[avacado]

Nonsense! Even Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) of Houston voted against it!

[Neu Pragmatist]

Many Dims voted against this for very different reasons . If the Republicans play this right , they could very well recapture the house . McCain will have to put aside the Bi-Partisan B.S. and lead the party onto victory .

If there ever was a mess tailor made for McCain , this is it . Why is he not beating this with a bat ? Newt’s idea should be applied heavily to this mess .

[Post Toasties]

Then we must continually remind the 'Rats of the 40% of their congressional members who also voted against this big banking bailout.

Is that really so difficult?

[Damifino]

I don't think so. Everyone that if the Dems really wanted this to pass they could do it without a single Repub vote. THAT would have killed the Repubs.

Repubs are in a superior position now but only if they offer a better counter plan. Their plan could be the same except without including foreign banks, bonus limits on execs who choose to take the dough, and omitting the union pension bailout. Would probably be enough to put it over the top

[comebacknewt]

I think we may be looking at the end of the Republican Party and of our country as we know it. Not just for this election cycle. Forever.

I am expecting the people to fully embrace Socialist solutions to the pending collapse of the economy -- which will of course make a terrible situation even worse.

I pray I am wrong and by some miracle our nation will reject Socialism, but it sure looks to me like we are racing down that path full speed ahead.

[Darren McCarty]

This bill needed to lose. Now we need to push a good alternative. Stop being a chicken little.

[truthandlife]

Are you crazy! Frank, Pelosi, Reid and all the Dem ilk were for this bill...

The Republicans just saved America today from the speedy race to Socialism!

[hinckley buzzard]

over the next six weeks before the election as the stock market crashes and the economy goes into a tailspin.

BZZZT! False premises invalidate your posting. Thanks for playing though, and next time try to get a grip on reality first. The market will not "crash" and the economy will not "tailspin." This is a faux crisis. repeat "Faux"(that means "false" for you all in Rio Linda).
