Repukes will get CREAMED over this

Let's be honest. The people who are more likely to own mutual funds, stocks, etc. in this country are Republicans. As they see their portfolios drop 5% - 10% maybe even 20% more than it has they will be angry as hell at their Repukes in Congress. They are the party of big money. And that money will speak volumes to their constituents.

who are probably happy that the bailout was defeated and the market is sliding down the shitter because it all may lead to WWIII which would help them get hoovered up to heaven.

So maybe not so much.

This bill is political plutonium to either party. I don't want this albatross hanging around the Democrats' neck. No one, outside of a small fringe of insider elitists, cares for this bill.

Once this sets in and the stock market continues to tank, people are going to freak out.

And it will all come back to this vote.

Not only is Bush president, but the Democrats made efforts to push this thing. A change wave would help Democrats, no doubt.

This is above party.

It's about the country. If the economy tanks, we're fucked.

Loans should be extended to cash-starved financial institutions. But the asset-purchase giveaway plan - no way!

If it fails, we'll see the market crash and all hell will break loose. This at least gets us through until an Obama administration.

Because there might not be an Obama administration, or even a Democratic house. This is chance - THIS election - to definitely smash the anti-democratic right-wingers who've been subverting this country.

It's already blown up in McCain's face.

Now we have a lose-lose. A probable Obama win with no economic relief until his presidency.

joined by Dems. It is those the "supported" the bailout that will feel it at the polls. And the Dems were really pushing for this and if ir passes , without any bailout for the middle class,or the mortgage holders ,on a second try, the Dems will be feeling it worse.

Wall Street and the general public really do not understand the bailout and perception is everything.The poor and middle class will hurt the most but the banks are perceived as the beneficiaries. And they are for the most part.Unfortunately we must take action and it is hard to do that without appearing to reward the banks for bad behavior!

The perception, buoyed by the fact that Clinton and Obama each received more money from the banking industry than any other politicians , followed closely by Dodd and Biden, according to Open Secrets,lends credence to the fact that the Dems sold out to the banks! This is not a good thing for anyone.JMHO.

The people who are more likely to own mutual funds, stocks, etc. in this country are Republicans

Try pension funds, 401ks, IRAs that are in turn owned by the working class.

Careful what you wish for my friend.....

think about it , while they throw their hissy fits and the market plunges daily, businesses are folding and layoffs. Would you believe 2 ABC liqueur stores closed in our area! Four restaurants have closed, five stores in our mall empty. This is going on everywhere!
