Yeah, what he said^.
I've been ****ed so many times I've lost track.

There was widespread opposition to the handouts - it wasn't just Republicans. Afterall, the top Republican in the land was trying really hard to push the handouts through Congress. And of course you should blame Pelosi, too. She really blew it today.

Do you work on Wall Street or something?
hahahahahaaaaaa A partisan blowhard's words are worth more than the loss of billions of dollars, thousands of jobs and the protection of the financial pillars America and... it's the blowhard's fault!!!! lol
I'm sorry but even Ron Paul would have to slap you upside of the head with a frozen cod fish for that... wouldn't he?

I have absolutely no idea what you meant to say. Try again.
Man,
You must have you head so far up McCain's butt that you still think the fundamentals of the American economy are strong.

Do explain.
The top republican in the land.... sounds almost noble.
You should blame Pelosi... sounds like it's her fault, she's a villain! Thats it. Hillbilly America responds well to a witch hunt. I can see you hatching the next McCain TV ad.

You vote Bush(x2)and then stab him in the back?
What is wrong with you?
The explanation is quite simple. Today Pelosi failed miserably. That's not an opinion. She lost. And President Bush lost. And the American people won. I'm sure they'll still find a way to squeeze something through this week, but today they failed. I know you're trying really hard to find something to argue about in your typical second-grade fashion, but there isn't much to argue about when looking at what happened today.
Haha Baas... two simple questions that aren't too simple.
Why should people blame Pelosi?
Why shouldn't they blame Bush?
Do you feel patriotic for the peril your Mennonite mentality has heaped upon your beleaguered country? What a twat. Run boy run but reality has a way of catching you and history has a way of exposing you. Albeit woefully too late.
I am trying to figure it(your twisted Timothy McVeigh kind of approach)... Maybe it's a religious conundrum like... "Rob Peter to pay Paul". Maybe it's a betrayal in biblical, Judas fashion. Maybe more modern, such as Julius Caesar. Maybe it's a personal affair such as Benedict Arnold's. Maybe just a simple case of turn coating. Personally, I see you in this kind of company. Whatever the state of your stunted mind, try stepping aside and letting adult, socially minded people take care of their families and their futures.
Haha Baas... two simple questions that aren't too simple.

I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget about your limited ability to read and comprehend the simplest of things. And this was simple before you talked yourself in circles.
The OP said the Republicans f*cked us today. I assume that he was in favor of the bailout and that he blames the Republicans for voting against it today. I merely pointed out that there was bipartisan opposition - the Republicans can't be "blamed" for killing the handout bill.
Democrats and Republicans voted against it. Does that make sense? See, sometimes they don't all vote along party lines. In this case, Bush and Pelosi are on the same side -- they are for the bailout. The American public is on the other side -- we are overwhelmingly against the bailout. We have been expressing our oppostion to our Representatives for the last week, and most of those Representatives voted the way we wanted them to today. And that was not the way Bush and Pelosi wanted them to vote.
So, to make it really really simple, you could say that the American people won today and Bush/Pelosi lost. I'm not talking about the big old game of life here, I'm just talking about one particular vote that took place today.
I don't think this is a partisan issue, the $700B funding/bailout. From people at work and customers and just people around town, the differences of yes or no on the plan is one between people who think it's right to loan out that much money to businesses for failed investments and people who think it's not right to bail them out of this deep problem.
Many people in the media and the markets (Wall St., London, Frankfurt, Toyko, investors, and big companies) think it should go through, but many regular workers do not think it's fair.
Pretty interested to see that the big investors aren't getting their way. Many liberal and conservative politicians believe in the plan.
Personally, I think it's not wise or a good sign for the US Gov't to do this. However, many people much smarter than me think it should pass, and many of those people are in charge of my 401k and buy Porsches and Maseratis from me! Who knows.
One thing for sure, I don't believe this is a political issue, but an economic one.

BRAVO! One of the more balanced comments so far, it's amazing that wether you are "for" or "against" the bail out, in a week or two when Joe small businessman with excellent credit a great business model and a very low debt load can't get a short term loan to make payroll and lays workers off, the publics opposition to this will turn to "what's taking so long to pass this!!" And Pelosi with her usual partisian fingerpointing pissed off enough Republicans that coupled with 90+ Dems that also voted against it, sank the bill.

Two simple questions;
Why should people blame Pelosi?
Why shouldn't they blame Bush?
Did widdle miss Pelosi hurt your widdle Mennonite sensibilities? Are you proud of the biggest drop since the great depression? Somehow, you can just lie about majorities and consensus. No problem.. you're a wing ding.
The staggering irony here is your bold philosophy which, seemingly(no, obviously), is unhindered or untarnished by your lousy choices for leadership, representation and their/your failures. Thank GOD for the good news... Obama ahead in the polls.
Deny all you want, your entire approach to politics and democracy is in question.

2/3 Democrats for 2/3 Repulicans against.... Do you frequently blame people for doing what you want them to do? You tried to glorify your fav Republican and blame the mess on Pelosi.
That is what you said and that is what you meant. Turn OFF Rush and wake up.
I guess you figure that GWB and McCain are merely "some" of the Pubs but the "real" Pubs(with the moral American Majority behind them) told Bush where to shove it.

Shouldn't you be thanking Pelosi then? Who wouldn't be confused by you?
Maybe someone with the same Right Wing, Stepford Wife kinda party devotion such as yourself I suppose.

Wow, only Rush could provide you with that Gem. The biggest economic negative hit in American history and you call it winning? Where TF are you guys from? Sounds like you're America's enemy's best friends.
Quote:

This is really about it.. you've only been awake for a week and yet you have all the answers. America should just follow your leads re: when to trust people like Bush & Co. You know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction dont you? You know your party ran your country into the ground dont you? Pssst... Did you hear that the biggest negative financial hit in your country's history happened today?
After a while Baas, your smart ass comments just lose their smartness and you sound like an ass. Enough is enough man, take stock of your failures, recalibrate, reeducate and rethink life on earth in the USA during the 21rst Century. Free yourself from the confines of pathological/evangelical self righteousness
Wow. I tried to make it clear that my comments pertained to one specific vote that occured today, and you turn it into that? I lost track of how many absurd tangents you went down and how many things you fabricated out of thin air. It's a bit bizarre!
****ing republicans just ****ed us all.
