SENATE BAILOUT VOTE. BOTH CANDIDATES WRONG ON THIS ONE.
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.
bail-out
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!
Vote NO for those that voted yes.
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!
