Bailout: GOP Votes 'Hell No!'

September 29, 2008 RSS Feed Print

I am not sure what Plan B is now. (All day, my Capitol Hill sources were very gloomy.) And I am not really sure what bill could get House Republicans on board. Even though Newt Gingrich now says he would vote for the bill, his antibailout rhetoric has taken root on the right. I think most likely is another vote after some arm-twisting. The worse the market does, the better it will be for the bailout's eventual passage.

The problem is perfectly clear Bush's deficit spending is destroying this country.
While there is a huge financial crisis on Wall Street what does Congress and Bush do? Now don't forget we are the verge of destruction and the world will end if Bush doesn't get his way Mr. Doomsayer.
They pass a federal spending bill to the total tune of $630 Billion dollars and now they want to pass another $1.3 Trillion bailout to send to Wall Street!
Just think yesterday we saved $1.3 Trillion and the week before they spent $630 Billion we don't have and nobody is talking about it.
Why is that? Why aren't we talking about all the deficit spending and the foreign borrowing that this administration is doing? That is the real cause of our problems and until we realize it, it will only get worst.

The Democrat majority could have passed this if they chose. 95 Democrats said NO!
GOP simply represented that American constituents did not like being blackmailed. If this was the essential legislation needed why did the Dem leadership put ACORN kickbacks and many other pork items into their bill.
Obviously something is necessary to REFORM Washington.
