you folks think that if a person is against the bailout they are republicans. ROFL. Come on, I want to make sure the money is there for Social Security and for Health Care. I want to make sure my granddaughters don't start out when they begin working with $80,000 in government debt. That makes me a Democrat!

2. The trick is how to hammer and belittle the bailout without hammering and belittling Obama |
|
since he supported the bill. Just a reminder: he is our candidate for President this year.

3. Let's remember to thank him... |
|
For putting us in that position by refusing to represent the people.
He has my vote no matter what, but my respect is another matter. A little bit of it was lost over this.

6. Maybe we could just do away with senators and representatives |
|
and just have a national referendum on any important issue. I'm sure that would solve the problem.

I feel like I am being berated whenever I make the statement that the BAILOUT is nothing more than helping the filthy rich - all the crap about Main Street is a joke.
We are screwed and the economy is fucked - throwing billions of dollars at it is like placing a band-aid on a slit throat.
