“Bush has trampled on the Constitution.”

This whole thing makes me want to vomit.

Bush makes FDR look like Ayn Rand.

Bush is the Biggest Socialist to Ever Live in the White House.

I thought spending and funding bills must originate in the House.

Given that, shouldn’t the “bailout” spending bill go back to the senate under a new name, and get voted on by the senate, as is spelled out in the constitution?

I was told that the reason the House could not modify the Senate bill in any way was because of this.

"The Democrats have saved their campaign contributors"

Not to mention Barak Hussein Obama's campaign staff and managers Jim Johnson, Frank Raines and others.

Folks, if this is what we get under Bush, imagine what we'll get under McCain!

And yes, I realize that Obama will be no better.

The framers of the US Constitution wrote another document for just this type of situation, it’s called the:

Bill of Rights.

We now are slaves to the government.

Well I guess I can default on all my loans and expect them to bail me out too.............NOT!

I know you're saying this in jest but I bet you a dollar to a doughnut that will start to happen all across america. The thinking will likely resemble, "why not, Uncle Sam will bail out the credit card companies like they did Wall Street".

“”We have acted boldly to help prevent the crisis on Wall Street from becoming a crisis in communities across our country,” Bush said after the House approved the bailout by a vote of 263-171, reversing its rejection of the bill earlier in the week that sent world stock markets reeling.

BDS indeed.

We don’t LIKE the bailout bill, but that doesn’t mean it’s unconstitutional. Please point out the relevant text in the Constitution that supports your opinion.

Until then, please stop batting around hyperbole.
