Flush.
That's the sound of a bailout bill going straight...down...the...toilet.
Of course, it's all the Republicans' fault, and by extension, John McCain's. That's funny, considering Nancy Pelosi only had 4 Republican votes last week, but after McCain showed up, she got another 60. That was more than enough to help her get the bill over the top, if only 1/3 of her own majority party didn't tell her stuff it. Which they did.
The Dow Jones fell over 700 points, and the media have picked up the song saying that the Republicans have ruined everything. Nevermind that the Dem fat cats helped tank the economy with whacko social engineering loan projects. Nevermind that, because if the economy's bad, it must be time for more left wing government. In other words, it's manna from heaven for Barack Obama, who didn't lift a finger to get the bill passed.
And why would he? With the economy tanking, he's a shoo-in for the White House.
I guess all of this news sucks, but it does remind me of who's really in charge of the United States: Congress. Which is as it should be. With all of the hoopla that's come out of this presidential race (and I admit, it's been damn fun to watch), media freaks, bloggers and cheerleaders need reminding that this isn't an election for King of America.
I have to hand it to the Dems and Republicans that didn't vote for the bill. They listened to their electorate, and they acted like free market Americans. A $700 billion bailout funded by taxpayers? Stick it.

I couldn't agree more!!
dude, your comments are so far to the right and have little impartiality. palin, no matter what anyone says, is NOT the best running mate, sure she's there - is she the best - not a chance. will she win votes - possibly.
your comment on social engineering programs are myopic and naive. the cause of the current financial situation is far too complex to 'tag' to one issue. it is a direct consequence of the lack of deregulation and oversight. golden parachutes are minute and the problem lies with the fact that these brokerages were overleveraged. the sec, or another other independent body needs to set limits to loans and liabilities in order for this to be prevented. sadly no one sees this this downward spiral will continue if left unchecked
Dude (a favorite of mine, too), this is a blog. I'm about as impartial as a frat boy is to beer kegs and bikinis.
I take it "lack of deregulation" was a slip up, but I get your drift. Still wrong, though.
