The Bailout Bill’s Flip-Floppers

Left unmentioned ....

Left unmentioned are all those "blue dog democrats", such as Congressman Mike Ross (Dem, AR.), who are for fiscal responsibility but voted for a $700 BILLION dollar bailout to people like movie producers. So much for convictions.

The 700 $B Mortgage Bailout Bill

This Bill is more than a tragedy. Why are the politicians giving billions to foreign governments? Why did they include a pay raise? Why so many earmarks? It is just Greed al over again. Please vote these bastards out of office. Your economic future depends on it.

Bail-Out Bill

This bill is a tradgedy - one of the worst mistakes to come down the pike. We are turning over our fortunes to the same incompetent, voracious, inept, law-breaking, uncaring, (pick a few) individuals who caused the mess in the first place. Why in the world would we think that they should be trusted to do it right this time?

60 minutes

A "60 minutes" segment last night showed that the people on Wall St. who brought the crisis about are well known. Take them out and kill them.

Business as usual

They're all members of the same good old boys (and girls) club.

They got all the goodies in the bill and then voted to spend some more of the people's money that neither they nor the people even have.
