Note to Mudgekin of CA.
So, would you rather have Obama who blatantly supports pork barrel and giveaways....or McCain who at least sees the bad in them?
Yours is typical blind liberalism. Selective criticism.
Both candidates erred on this issue. But, the liberal Dems want to make it a political issue.
Personally, I'd rather have a president who at least understands that there is an issue than to have a president who -- with his party and friends -- IS THE ISSUE.

Cornyn & Hutchison of Texas have lost my vote. I am sick to death of the backiscratching and scmoozing going on at the "common persons" expense. We need a massive overhaul of ALL the people who represent us. Sadly, our choices leave us little sense of alternative. I'm fed up!

Regardless of how you intend to vote in the presidential race,
I propose we all vote NO, to all the senators that voted yes, either in the up coming election, or the next time around, remember who voted yes and lets get them out.
Note:
Biden, Obama and McCain all voted YES. They are all worthless!

five hundred million earmarks here and five hundred million earmarks there and saying we need more and more and more. Gov't jobs has been the biggest increase for job creation figures nationwide. Private sector layoffs have been happening for years. SO UNFAIR THAT GOVT JOBS GET NO LAYOFFS.

Thank you Senators Brownbeck and Roberts for voting NO
Thank you Rep Boyda, Moran and Tiahrt for voting NO
Dennis Moore, you have never responded to several emails sent you and you even voted yes. You will never get my vote again.
Now how can we get rid of cronie Paulsen. Watch this money fly out the door to big business and not the little guy. It's not going to work. Mark my words. The rich will get richer on our dime and we will get poorer.

Thank you Senator Cochran and Senator Wicker.
You did all you could do and your efforts are sincerely appreciated by the majority of American.
Those that voted yes have sold this country out...... and this is just the first installment.
Hang on because there is much much more to come.

It is especially sad that John Cornyn favored this bill. he continues to pay off corporate contributors and sleaze.

Thank you Alaska's Representative Don Young for truly representing Alaskans as you twice voted "NO" on the Bailout legislation. We all will remember this when we cast out vote for you November 2, 2008.
