   D. Hoyer just said we owe a debt of gratitude to Barney Frank. That would be the new 700 billion dollar debt.

   The people that voted in this group of socialist democrats should appologize to every American and beg us not to toss your ass out of the country.

    Conservative Definition of Free Market:

    Market (including housing/healthcare/food/etc) should be free for all unless you work your butt off to make a certain amount of money.

    We all agree with the “Market” definition. The “Free” part is where we differ.

    A blank check that will continue from Paulson to whoever Obama puts in.

    We will have the largest most controlling government in our history telling us what we can and can’t do and taking our money to spend it as they wish and giving it to those that do not participate by working.

    It seems to me that throughout history, socialism failed even when the entire population (of the country) paid for it.

    So after the market dived when the House didn’t support the RESCUE, you thought that they better change their minds or your savings will be toast. You listened to all the pundits and politicos who told you that the RESCUE was necessary, in fact would even be better if they threw in another $100B. Dire consequences were predicted if today’s vote did not pass. You relented, emailed your congreeman to vote “Yea”. Bet you thought that when it went through, you could breath a sigh of relief, enjoy the weekend, think about something other than the economy. No way, buddy. The market drops 300 more points, all eyes on more bad news. You just condemned your children and grandchildren to debtor’s prison, and no fix in sight. You’ll know better next time, sucker…maybe.

    I’m having my shot in the glass I bought at the Alamo. Seems appropriate

    OK People, lets let them hear about it now. Also, we must remember who voted for this POS and when they come up for election we must let them hear it again.

    My two senators, RINO Warner and socialist democrat Webb voted for this mess in the Senate.
    The RINO is not running again so I cant vote against him, and I wont vote for a socialist for any reason. So there is no retribution on my part.
    My Representative did however, vote against this mess.

    I know how you feel. Now that I’ve left New York I feel for once that my vote just might count.
