The average American doesn’t understand anything about this issue. That’s why the Democrats are dealing in sound bites and a simplistic blame game. Even though probably 75% of Americans agree with the Republican position they will be swayed by the demagogues on the left into blaming the Republicans.

“What would happen if there were NO deal, none at all, and the country survived and economy rebounded? Maybe we don’t need them to save us.”

We DON’T. Nothing will happen.
Short term economic turmoil. Long term success.
the government always makes things worse.

The fact that this drooling, gibbering degenerate is in charge of anything in this country other than the interior of a padded cell is incredible to me. This is exactly why we’re in this fix now.

When Sen. Barack Obama was given the floor to speak during White House negotiations, according to White House aides, he did so raising concerns about a House Republican alternative to the Paulson/Bernanke $700 billion bailout. But those concerns weren’t necessarily his, as he was not aware of the GOP plan before reviewing notes provided him by Paulson loyalists in Treasury prior to entering the meeting.

According to an Obama campaign source, the notes were passed to Obama via senior aides traveling with him, who had been emailed the document via a current Goldman Sachs employee and Wall Street fundraiser for the Obama campaign. “It was made clear that the memo was from ‘friends’ and was reliable,” says the campaign source.

The memo allowed Obama and his fellow Democrats to box in Republican attendees and essentially took what President Bush had billed as a negotiating meeting off the rails.

“Paulson and his team have not acted in good faith for this President or the administration for which they serve,” says a House Republican leader who was not present at the White House meeting, but who instead is part of the team hammering out the House GOP alternative. “We keep hearing about how Secretary Paulson is working with Democrats on this or that, yet he never seems to consider working with the party that essentially hired him. Perhaps he’s auditioning for a Democratic administration job. Our proposal didn’t just spring forth fully formed; we’ve been working on this for several days, and Treasury staff has known about it.”

"...Barney Frank declared that an agreement depends on House Republicans 'dropping this revolt' againt the Bush-requested plan."

Hey, Barney, the Democrats have enough votes to pass ANYTHING they want to pass without a single Republican vote, so what is your problem? Afraid your constituents might hold the Democrats responsible for the result? Since this is just a scheme to hold the economy together with chewing gum and baling wire until after Nov. 4, are you afraid it won't work until then, and you'll be left to pay the price on election day?

Of course the media fails to ask or state that question. The ‘rats have the majority, Bush would sign it in a heartbeat.

So c’mon Nancy and Hairy, let’s have a vote!!!!!!!

So the thieving, dishonest, corrupt Democrats didn’t get what they want, so now they whine and cry. Too bad.

The Democrats have the votes. They refuse to take the responsibility by themselves. They know they are responsible for the current situation. They can’t go against the American people with out Republicans.

Thanks. It’s obvious that Paulson and Goldman Sachs are working for the Democrats.

Paulson was said to have briefed Obama earlier, but refused to speak with McCain.

I don’t know WHY President Bush has such a penchant for appointing traitors to key posts in his administration, but it happens almost every time.

The house GOP should start an investigation into Bwarney Fwranks role and relationship to this crisis.

“the Democrats have enough votes to pass ANYTHING they want”....

Ah yes!...and there’s the rub....they would be RESPONSIBLE for what happens. As we all know, one of the democratic parties principles is: NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS!
