bail-out or not, I wasn't planning on voting for NJ's incumbent senator.

if McCain is old, Lautenberg is antediluvian. he'd be in his 90's by the end of his term.

Both presidential candidates supported it so WTF is your point? Or are you just trolling?

Here's a secret the press doesn't want you to know - there are more than two candidates! But please, don't stray off the two-party plantation! It's a scary world out there!


No one is holding your third parties down. They are just very not very popular.

And neither of them have any chance of winning. Yes, I'm aware that stating the fact is what helps make it a fact, but I don't give a damn.

I don't understand you. What is scary? The third parties haven't a chance in hell. Nobody but nobody is worried about them. Real fear comes when you realize that only one of the two parties will be able to deliver change. You should add your weight to the only one that can. Vote Democratic and liberal. To vote third party or republican is to support cave men.

What truly instills fear is the fact that loons like you believe Democrats represent change.

I didn't say that. I said that only Democrats CAN deliver change. I didn't say they will. You can read so don't f around with what I said.

I agree. Vote every one of the people that supported this economic collapse out of office. Find out who they are and reject them.

If you can't make the leap of logic to understand the ramifications to the entire world, because of our own follies, and realize that something needed to be done, perhaps you fall below the minimum IQ line to actually be a part of this country.

How about this? It's not just Congress's job to vote Aye and Nay on bills, but to explain and "sell" them to their constituents.

You seem to have the world's biggest hard-on for this package, but you've yet to be able to explain, in everyday terms, why it was so damn important to ignore any other possible course of action, and to blindly give Paulson anything and everything he asked for within the course of a few days, at taxpayer expense.

You and the Fed/Senate have been like the world's pushiest used-car salesmen. "No! This is a great deal you can't afford to miss! Don't go anywhere else! Don't hesitate! Don't read the fine print! Just sign right now! Hurry! Limited time offer! There's no time to delay! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Is it any wonder there's a huge backlash from the public? Almost every single poster here has said, "I realize something need to be done, but.." None of you wannabe-elitist assholes - you in particular - have addressed this perfectly valid concern. Very few are saying, "Let it burn!" Most are simply concerned that there seemed to be absolutely 0 effort in exploring alternatives to simply writing a $700B+ check and patting everyone on the back for a job well done.

You seem to be the IQ-deprived entity here. You've over-simplified the problem into "Durr - Americuns are teh stuoopid becasue there have questions about ram-rodding a trillion dollar bill in a 3-day period." How about you step off your soapbox for a moment and "make the lead of logic" do understand what actual people are actually concerned about?

while i respect LK that was a really good post and it should be addressed.

Plus, the other candidates, Ralph Nader and Bob Barr, are even more crappy than the mainstream candidates. Ron Paul had some wacky ideas, but at least I could respect him. Nader and Barr are no better than any other politician out there.
