It is going to be a very interesting evening!
This is true, but I think most Americans are too incurious to find out who caused this mess, or that Dems want to fork over 20% of the money to ACORN, etc. They are against the deal in principle, which is fine, but they need to lay the blame for this mess right where it belongs...squarely at the feet of the Democrats.
Excellent point!
The Democrats don’t need Republican votes to pass a bill. If a Republican votes for it, it’s probably an act of self-preservation.
Americans that have Democratic Seantors and Congressmen need to get on the phone and tell them we do not want the bill as spelled out by Paulson and we are glad that McCain came to town to shed light on it.
Just called my representative Steve King’s office and expressed that I was against the Paulsen Plan with any earmarks.
They have to keep saying a deal is immenent folks are the entire ball of wax collapses ...
It doesn’t get through the Senate without Republican votes.
Maybe you forgot, McCain just did up and go. He was asked by Paulson to come to DC and work with the Republicans. Waste everyone's time, ask the RATS and Obama that screwed it all up. The President, out of cooperation, asked Obama to come also. The RATS set this whole thing up and did not consult the Republicans on the bill. The RATS set it up so any profit we might make will be used for their pet earmarks instead of relief of the deficit or back to the American people. We are almost under communist rule.
Don't forget, that if Lieberman walks across the organizational aisle, Harry Reid is dethroned and McCain becomes the majorty leader. Especially with Tim Johnson in bed in South Dakota.
Here’s the breakdown:
ACORN gets 680 Billion
Frank gets 20 Billion
Fox reporting they need to get something done before the Asian markets open Sunday.
Midnight tonight folks.
oh Lord, please don’t allow the republicans to kiss the backsides of democrats. keep them from bowing to the pressure by democrats to pass such an evil bill. please help to expose democrats for what they are.
IMHO
Not if it is a better bill than before.
Whould like to know WHO informed FOX NEWS that a deal WOULD BE REACHED by midnight! Harry Reid, perhaps?????
“The AP version reads like an Obama press release!”
It’s just incredible, reading all the MSM stories today, McCain’s mere presence stops all progress, democrats are faultless, this enormous deal must be passed immediately, Obama is a superstar, McCain a zero. It’s relentless.
Meanwhile, the American people don’t want this deal and $700 billion ain’t peanuts.
Think about it for a minute. Why in the hell would the House GOP cave on this? They are in the catbird seat! The 'rats won't pass anything without majority GOP support because they don't want to be the ones passing out 700 billion taxpayer dollars when 80% of the American public is loudly opposed.
If there's a deal at midnight it will be based on the House GOP plan!!!
