Newt Gingrich: Kill the Paulson Plan. Hard.

Bail OUT

Good for Newt Gingrich. I hope McCain listens to him. OR Obama. One of them!!!!!!
One of these two candidates running for President better get articulate with a platform of solutions.
Karl Denneger has supplied every member of congress with a concise plan that will take us through this without loosing our basic American way of life.
It is time to send all elected officials OUT of Office unless they have demonstrated truth, honesty and integrity. I wonder how many would be left?
Thank you for your reporting.

Newt-tastic!

I'm a capitalist, because someone has to pay for the welfare state.
The Idea of bailing out losers without fixing the cause is as foolish at the very least

I'm with Newt!

Kill it!! Kill it HARD.

Addendum: Maybe the reason Congress confuses Wall St

with the economy is because a majority of our representatives have, either through corruption or, more often, the unrealistically favorable pay and benefit packages they receive as "public servants", amassed fortunes the likes of which we common folks can only aspire to. If Wall Street sneezes, their portfolios catch cold; yet the Main Street economy powers on, because it must.

Newt's right!

If this is so important, House Republicans should all step back and let the Democrats pass this with their majority.

amen, brother

This is basically what I said in an email to the McCain campaign yesterday. From your lips to McCain's ears, Newt.

Goodness gracious - the apocalypse must be coming if this centrist gal finds herself in perfect agreement with Newt Gingrich!

Newt is dead on about this

The idea of spending $700 Billion by the government on anything is (or should be) anathema to republicans/conservatives; the idea of giving money to Wall Street Banks at the full and unreviewable discretion of the Treasury Secretary is (or should be) anathema to liberals/Democrats.
I am the former, and am determined to vote AGAINST any of my representatives that vote for this deal.
Nowhere is it mentioned that the Fed is a private entity, that is not accountable to the U.S. Government; and yet they hold the reins to our monetary system system at the behest of large national and international private banks.
