There is always an alternative; it’s just not always pretty and convenient.

Reality says we gorged at the debt trough for way too long. The bill is due and must be paid. Are you going to create more debt from one pocket to pay off debt in another pocket, or are you willing to do the hard thing and say it’s time to tighten the belt ?

If you think the bill is a good idea, I hope your grandchildren, who will be debt-slaves all their lives as a result of the last 20 years, will find it in their heart to forgive you and the rest of us.

For myself, I say NO to more debt. Let those who gorged take their losses, those who are innocent will suffer too, but by taking it now we lessen some pain. If we create more debt and shove it down the road a few months or a few years, it will be that much worse.

You choose.

Exactly. This bill is a disaster. We need to contact our friends and relatives and urge everyone to call their Rep. What else can we do? I wish conservatives were more prone to organizing demonstrations and making themselves heard.

Look, we’re being routed on the PR front today. The only hope is that our guys in the house oppose this thing publicly and nail it to the dems. The only way we can salvage something out of this is to retreat to fight another day. The people are behind us and we must have courage to do the right thing. I honestly believe McCain can win the election tomorrow if he 100%comes out against it and let it pass and stick the blame on the Dems for what happens....because what will happen is an eventually collapse of the system and more debt will be asked for by the banks.....The GOP must not set a precedent with this.Again, lets vote against it and let the chips fall because the GOP ain’t getting any credit anyway....really is a no brainer if you think about......After the Battle of Long Island and the route in NYC Washington retreated across Jersey to save his army to fight another day...must the GOP needs to keep th moral high ground by VOTING NO !

Mike Pence is a solid conservative. I had hoped that he would run for President this election cycle. Please keep him in mind for the future.

Mike Pence, you’re a Renegade Republican hero. Keep rubbing the faces of the bailout supporters in their stinking pig slop!
