I’d like to thank each of the morons out of the 535 that voted “yea” for this grand give away to Paulson’s buddies. When the bread lines start forming someone is going to remember all this crap and get pissed in a big way!
Then it is off to the bunkers for all these Faustus cowards while we try to survive as a third world tragic play and our founding fathers roll over in their graves.

Another vote for the Gallows.
All this bailout as bought us is a little bit more time to get our own houses in order before the ship goes down.
This may sound cliche, but…Got Seeds, Gold, Canned & Dried Food, Guns & Ammo?
BTW, why was Congress’ server unable to accept emails from the constituents last week? Anybody else run into this problem?

Gallows x 10! These buffoons (on both sides and in the Administration) don’t give a rat’s patoot about this country or its citizens and the re-vote made that crystal clear. If ever there was a a situation that called for a rational, deliberate, non-partisan solution, this was the one.
What really is beginning to concern me is that the good folks in Congress do not seem to really be serious about helping anything (except themselves). Given the magnitude of this problem, their bungling very well could lead to a ‘Greater Depression’ over the next few years. Maybe that’s why starting Oct 1, the US Army will be using an entire brigade for ‘homeland duties’ such as crowd control, roadblocks and non-lethal weapons (Google recent Army Times for article).
Being a retired military officer of 23 years, I think I can say with some confidence: “All of this bullsh*t is truly unacceptable. It is time to clean out the gene pool in Washington.” So let’s go to the polls in November and turn them all out.

Until there was a real plan, with oversight and standards, plus valuation of how money would be distributed, voting for it was the wrong thing to do. Wrong.

Off with their heads-they aren’t using them anyway!
