Face it. The world is out of control. Everybody's fighting. It's bad enought not knowing if your loved one will be coming home soon…. Or did you forget about the troops? Wake up people. Can't you see we need to keep it together. People are losing there homes,
there jobs. Nobody's bailing them out. But then again if you want something you better get it why you can because you never know if it will be here tomorrow. Why don't you let us deside. Were the one's who suffer. I Work everyday just to put food on the table and have a roof over my head. Does anyone really care. Give me a break.

My Lord…could you imagine if Barry were to win…Nancy Pelosi would be two heart beats away from the presidency!! Frightening. Watch your back Barry - she is pure evil.

I'm sorry Molly…when did the dems create the problem? When they were in the minority the past…i dunno….12 years before 2006?

That's a laugh. How about you blame the president for his vodoo economics? How about the GROSS oversight by regulatory bodies in the government during the Bush Administration? How about the gross oversight to regulate by imposing simple laws that would have made predatory lending illegal by the Republican majority that we had for (let me stress it again) 12 years?

The Republican party had the majority to "fix" all of the problems the supposed Democrats made, Molly. However, I think you've become blinded by your own ignorance to how governments and majorities in governments work. When you have a slim majority for the past two years with the minority blocking everything you do instead of compromise for once, then perhaps the Democrats could have actually fixed the problems.

However, your Republicans that held majority for 12 years couldn't do it. I wonder why?

We've seen how effective "Trickle Down Economics" has been thus far-NOT!!! Let's do something really innovative - like "Spurt Up"! Spread the 700+ Billion dollars amongst taxpaying American Households. Once we the taxpayers pay off our home mortgages, credit card debts, car loans, student loans, and "Oh yea, treat ourselves to something really lavish like a night out on the town," then banks and other major financial institutions, businesses, etc., will have the money they will undoubtedly squander once again!

This bailout is throwing more of our money away to those who have already proved incompetent. How about giving the money to the taxpayers where they can use it to help get the economy moving. The banks wonder why they have had so many foreclosures when they give out ajustable rate mortgages than jack up the interest rate or interest only loans which people will never pay off. They also fine those who are behind on a credit card payment and or raise there interest rate so high that these people can never pay and just give up or default and never pay. It would seem these people would be a better risk if they would make it easer for them to pay. BUT NO, They would rather take the tax payers money by having us bail them out while screwing the little guy.

my opinion is IF we knew this sarah better and she wouldnt have come on soo strong at the beggining and told us the thruth,, we may give her the benifit of a doubt,, but she waltzs in,, blabbs her strut and expects to be treated like a canidiate,, wellll she better know we in the US of A dont like spouters,,,,, and if you run for an office,, u better clea up your own stuff first ,, cos it will come out in the end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OBAMA/BIDEN08 and BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim Marshall will not lose his re-election bid. I'm originally from his district (Macon, GA) and I know plenty of republicans who routinely vote for him out of loyalty. The republicans in the state house continue to re-draw his district every 2 years, but they still can't get him out. He was the last good mayor the city of Macon had.

I wish these people would just vote their conscious, analyze the pro's and con's and make an informed decision instead of always worrying about when they will have to get a real job if the voters throw them overboard. It's known as integrity.

Well democrat congressman if you all would have heeded McCain and President Bush's warning back in 2002 and 2005 then you would not be in this spot trying to cover for Dodd's, Schmuer and Obama today!

All the pork is for the Republicans because they're babies. They don't care about mainstreet . If they did they wouldn't fight the foreclosure deal.

It is the Republicans fault. Whose in the White House, a Republican. it starts at the top.

more need to stand up and support this. all of my congressmen ,in ark., voted for it the first time. for this vote ,alone, any running for re-election ,will get my vote in nov. this isn't funny, people! folks are losing their jobs and homes ,and it will only get worse.

At least there is one sensible congress man who is able to "communicate" rather than waving hands and saying out loud some cliche statements by the presidential candidates!

We sure could use the trillion dollars tha "W" has wasted on his personal war with Iraq.

All I know is that McCain just voted for porkbarrel spending.

No socialism for the rich. Let them fried for a while.

The repubs are doomed this year.

Staged "debate" dance now ready for 24/7 consumption -
Bailout Barack Obama w/partner Bailout John McCain.

Full-spectrum media suppression/distortion
target Ralph Nader and Ron Paul.

Your vote is your power,
they fear it, use it.

I wish Rep. Marshall well. A lot of conscientous congressmen are not going to be re elected because they put the country first with their vote. None of us like the position that the little moron Bush has gotten us into.

FRANKLIN RAINES—-i want Americas' 90 million dollars back and the part you gave to Osama.

Get rid of all the DEMS - from Ms. Nancy on down - they have caused all these problems - now want to "Fix" it with our money!

McCain/Palin - a Team we can TRUST

This bill just like a large majority of others is easy to understand when you follow the money.

First: What is the biggest problem? Fannie/Freddie.

Second: Who got the most money from them? Dodd & Obama.

Third: Who stands to profit the most? Google George Soros and Asian Banking Crisis…

Fourth: Who will make sure this post gets censored? CNN

You do the math - - -

Gooooooo Sarah!!!!!!!!!

America love you girl!

Dan, please understand one thing. People use cards now for a lot of different reasons. It is not always because they do not have the money. We pay almost everything, including bills, with a credit card these days because we get rewards for them. We then pay the balance off before getting charged any interest. In other words we get more for our money so it is a smart thing to do. It is also nice to have an accounting of your spending sent to you conveniently every month. I do agree with you about borrowing to pay debt.

I'd like for someone to tell me how to borrow MY way out of debt.

I'll listen to that person.

It's despicable what thess Senators have done with the Economic bill. They have added all their earmark proposals for their states. Including Obama asking for $932 Million for stupid crap that's not needed in Illinois. So much for the People's Candidate. He's a hypocrites spending our money. People don't be fooled by Obamas' BS.

Probably because there is a sufficient amount of pork on it now for the Republicans to support it. Very sad that the only major difference in the bill is the amount of pork barrel spending added to it and now it will likely be acceptable for the Republicans. Yes these are the same Republicans that continuously accuse the Democrats of being the Pork party and the tax and spenders. Anybody going to get a clue out there!

Vote him out he is selling out his District over Banking and a Higher inflation this added debt will cause to Low and med income family's!

we see both parties hiding the truth to how we arrived at this mess.

according to Rep John Mica… both Clinton…and BUSH..
had their greety fingers in Fanny mae and Freddie Max.

Setting up a goverment …to help the poor…
so people could buy a house…

while FRANLIN RAINS walked away w/ 100's of millions of
taxpayers money…

check and please report this…
TAX MONEY SHOULD NOT BE FREE

It is hard for me to understand why this bill is a good thing. I'm not for it but I'm not always the brightest bulb in the socket. I've contacted my representatives numerous times and expressed my feelings and they all voted for it. I just don't understand how more borrowing is going to get us out of a situation caused by too much borrowing. I've stood in line many times and watched people buy a pack of gum with a credit card, jump in their Lincoln Navigator and drive home to their 10,000 square foot Mc Mansion. It was obvious folks have been living beyond their means. I saw this coming years ago. I can only hope my representatives know more than I about how to fix it.

Google fractional reserve banking and you'll see why we are in this mess. We haven't had a balanced budget since going off the gold standard.

Taxation without representation.

Does no one find it frightening that the proposal went from THREE pages to over FOUR HUNDRED pages???!!! This may have started out as a good intention, but there's no way you'll convince me that's still the case.

Why didn't anyone stand up to the pork that was added? So much for Change in politics. As long as there are only two parties, we'll just have the same mess. The only difference is that the majority will change every 8 yrs. or so. How can these leaders look themselves in the mirror?

Thanks for stealing $2,000 out of the pocket of every man, woman, and child..

Someday the Bush girls will want to re-write their father's legacy, but it won't matter. We know the truth, we've lived through this hell for 8 years.

To all the Repubs who voted twice for this nutcase, how's it working for you?

Obama/Biden 08

Wake up dumbocrats…he got special permission from Nancy Bimbo to vote against the bill so she can blame the republicans instead of barney and todd,

So the problem is under regulation (caused by government), and over printing of dollars (caused by government and banks). So the solution is for the government to print a ton of money and give it to the banks? I don't follow the logic.

I am getting sick and tired of the bad interviews with Sarah Palin. It seems that Katie is liquid toxic.

I actually never did like Katie and now like her even less, and I will boycott her as well as the view and Oprah. I hope and pray the moderator tonight is fair and balanced.

Why do they release a short shot each and every day? I hope this little plan of the liberal press backfires.

Of course, Sarah sets herself up and seems confused at times in her responses, I would like to see a little better response, but oh well.

Where are the gaffs by Biden and Obama? I'm sure there are a few
noteworthy. And where are they hiding Mrs. Obama. Isn't she a piece of work. Obama is putting here in the cellar.

And Bush is just going to crawl back to Crawford. He'll have a grand time playing golf and working on his presidential library.

Anyone who pays him a speaking fee is a nut.

Obama/Biden 08

Oh no, it's a story that isn't about Sara Palin!

What are you doing CNN!?

You're supposed to go back into All-Sarah-Palin-All-The-Time mode if your gonna try to get those McCain poll numbers back up within striking distance of a Diebold fix.

He won't be the last Congressman explaining himself. Americans are angry.

Obama/Biden

Just like Obama, this guy will lose in November.

Now is the time for a Glorious November Revolution. Help Obama beat back McLame and the old boys capitalist running dogs network.

There is no way a CEO or lawyer should be earning more than a cop or nurse.

Here in Michigan, we have too many guns and not enough jobs. Let's kick out the CEOs and stockholders, take their factories, and put ourselves to work, America.

It is time to give democratic socialism a try. http://www. dsusa.org.

To the ordinary voter on the street, everything looks like Bush's fault.
However to the informed voter events that happened in 1977 and mostly in 1999 is what have created this disaster. It just popped it's ugly head now.

Unless these regulations are not amended it will be only a matter of time before the politicians are robbing the taxpayers piggy banks again.

It is amazing how much money Fannie and Freddie gave to Obama and how much money he got from ACORN.

I feel if we do bail out fannie and freddie there should be no political contributios and none to Acorn.

I find it amazing on how the media is trying to destroy Palin. Could it be that they are all afraid if she gets into Washington we will see some heads roll. She did promise to clean up the corruption on Capital Hill. And so did McCain.

Good Move Jim Marshall. I think all our representatives not just Obama and McCain should explain to their constituents why they came to their decision. It may help to calm some of the resistance.

I thought they were supposed to represent us.

I hate to say it, but we need to get rid of all of these idiots and start over. They are more worried about getting elected than they are about what is right for the country or what the people really want.

Like the old saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. They have lost sight of us and we no longer matter.

Wish we would spend $10 billion monthly on our economy vs a "dumb" war!

I understand his vote and would do the same… it sucks to be in his position =(

Congradulations to Congressman Jim Marshall. He is putting Country First!!! Too bad John McCain doesn't even know what that means!

This fool is gone! I'm voting these morons out! 80% of America DOESN'T want this bailout bill, and our so-called reps. are completely disregarding the voice of the people. Get your hay forks people!

JUST WHAT DO YOU EXPECT. . .REPUBLICAN'S BEEN IN CHARGE——-HOW LONG?

V O T E,,,,,,,,,,O U T,,,,,,,,,,,,,E V E R Y,,,,,,,,I N C U M B E N T

Too little, too late - this indecision has cost every republican a major number of voters.

It's time for real change - no more lying subpoena-dodgers in DC. Period.
