    I hate that we were having to do this, but I still believed it was necessary to survive. This vote spells the end of the USA. Expect martial law, expect the total suspension of rights. You asked for it, you got it, hope you’re proud of yourselves.

    If the Dow’s reaction has any impact on how the House should proceed this bailout should be killed for good. Markets drop 600+ when voting starts then when it fails gains nearly all of the drop back.

    Lesson, the market doesn’t like government intervention, let those that played the politician’s subprime game fail. No one will come and bail out my small business if I fail, and we shouldn’t bail out Wall St. In fact, the Republicans should be yelling for criminal proceedings against the leaders in the house that intimidated banking institutions to make these bad loans and allowed Fannie and Freddie to buy the bad notes to pad their own pockets.

    Please, stop panicking. I used to work for a brokerage house in my hometown and they would be joking about playing with other people’s money. I think Wall Street has reaped what it’s sewn and that’s all that can be reckoned.

    Dow is down currently -453.20. Not as bad as it once was.

    I’m currently very disatisfied with the management of my Roth IRA. I’m currently looking for more competent management. I was just about to make a contribution until I saw the Dow tank.

    You have to love this…

    Debate ended. Voice vote. “The ayes have it.” Recorded vote ordered.

    Outcome of recorded vote?
    227 NAY, 206 YEA.

    Reminds me of the voice vote for the nomination at the Democratic Convention…Pelosi barely paused at all between calling for nays and gaveling the voice vote closed. Voice votes are supposed to so clearly have a two-thirds majority that a recorded roll-call vote is not necessary. At the DNC, she didn’t give the nay voices a chance to be heard, and it was clear that there was strong support for Hillary…enough to believe that Obama did not have a 2/3 majority, and a roll-call vote should have been required.

    Today that a voice vote called, “The ayes have it”, meaning that Pelosi believed 2/3 were in the affirmative, actually turned out to not even have a simple majority.

    Pelosi should step down as speaker immediately.

    I wonder if the 1 not voting was Obama?

    Um, er, D’obama is a US Senator in the Senate…not in the House of Representatives

    Someone keeps yelling “Order” but Nancy doesn’t want order. I guess she thinks she can still force vote changes. Just went back to 205 yays, 228 nays.

    WE WON THIS ONE, folks! PRAISE GOD!!!

    hi AJ!

    i was watchin C-SPAN prayin. lol

    You’re not the only one. My husband thinks I’m obsessed. I told him that I need to know what’s going on to know what decision we’ll need to make for our future.

    I have to make a contribution to my mutual funds and I’m not convined that my brokers are managing my accounts very well. I’m also weighing other things:

    1. Should we have a baby right now?
    2. Should I go back to school?
    3. Should we just pay off all our debt so that we and other Americans don’t get even more hit by this economic debacle?

    That’s what’s facing us. I wonder what’s facing other Americans.

    Feebie- don’t be a stranger, okay?

    Now voting on a “motion to suspend the rules and pass”? Everyone is voting Y on that one, except 3 R so far.

    Didn’t hear what that was about. Cavuto keeps yapping.
