I'm proud of my Alabama Senators (Sessions, Shelby)! Shelby had said all along that he was against it but I wasn't sure if Sessions would pull through.

Now if we could just get through to our reps... only had one from Alabama vote no on Monday.

[Matt Collins]

I think the ones who votes for it should be tried for treason and publicly lynched in Time's Square on the 5 o'clock news while the crowd chants and throws fruit

I'm proud of our Senators in Louisiana! :)

So what's the word on Vitter as someone from Louisiana. The reason I ask is that he seems like one of the good guys in the senate (one of the primary senators with Inhofe who were against the immigration bill as well as today) but was working for Rudy during the primaries.

[purplechoe]

My senators are Durbin and Obama. :mad: :eek:

[Falseflagop]

My senators are dumb and dumber who are totally imho owned by WALL ST and FED, Clinton/Schumer. How she ever got voted in as a NY senator still amazes me to this day!

[tggroo7]

Damnit Voinovich and Brown, where the fuck are ya

[Trigonx]

I was happy to see at least one of my senators voted No. good Job Feingold.

[Tratzman]

I talked to Grassley's aide a couple days ago and he said people were calling in at almost 100% against the bailout. He and Harkin both voted for the bill despite being inundated with calls, faxes and emails.

What a f*&%ing traitorous duo. Lynchings are in order.

[dr. hfn]

whats the url for that picture?

[LandonCook]

I was happy to see at least one of my senators voted No. good Job Feingold.

Yeah, it is his first good vote he's made...

We have to remember that just because they voted nay, doesn't mean they voted nay for the right reasons or have any clue what they are doing.

For instance:

Bernie "the socialist" Sanders voted Nay... and I still want to string him up.

Lots of pissed off people commenting there.

ZOMG are you kidding me? Feingold is the most libertarian senator we have right now. He voted against the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, FISA, and now this bailout. He's like the Ron Paul of the senate. See here: http://freedomdemocrats.org/node/526

[RSLudlum]

received 90K calls today and 80K were AGAINST !! But guess what she voted FOR the bill!

Damn, it almost reminds me of our election system??

[tbarnett17]

Looks like Bunning came through for us again! I repeat, I'm SO GLAD I voted for him! GO KENTUCKY!!!! -Tyler

Then again, we all know now... it's a CHARADE, a FACADE!

CORNYN and HUTCHINSON are NEOCON Corporate LOYALIST before ANYTHING!

So what's the word on Vitter as someone from Louisiana. The reason I ask is that he seems like one of the good guys in the senate (one of the primary senators with Inhofe who were against the immigration bill as well as today) but was working for Rudy during the primaries.

I always labeled Republicans as bad before Ron Paul's campaign, except I gave Gary Johnson some slack because I thought that he was a good governor in NM. I just learned around a year ago that good people come on both sides.

I have a decent opinion of Vitter, especially after this. I don't know if he understands the complexity of the banking system, but I have high hopes that he may take the time to listen. I guess, as with most of us, we can only hope that they make the right decisions.

[DFF]

ANd JOhn Cornyn is Chairman of the Senate CONSTITUTION Committee, NOW that INSULTING!

HYPOCRITE! Both him and Hutchison need to go before the now newly formed Sons Of Liberty Committee for IMMEDIATE tarring and feathering!

The reason I ask about Vitter is because I figured he was one of the good guys after taking charge in standing up against the immigration bill which caused the elites to leak that he was seeing one of the call girls from the recent DC madam scandal. I figured he was being punished for it because most of our congress/ senate critters were clients but very few were ever named. (Didn't the madam commit "suicide" as well?)

Can you please stop saying this?
he is controlled opposition. Nothing more, nothing less. His stunt called the "McCain Feingold Act" solidified it for even the most hard nosed beaks. Get over it.
Granted, McCain is no different than Feingold, but plenty of people, including yourself, do not seem to understand that, and keep up the futile attempt in using it to either A) "falsely 'unify'" or B) falsely divide...
You pick one, but I know where they BOTH end up.

Looks like I'm sending senator Gorden Smth to find a new job, what a stupid fucker.

"Florida Senators Divided On Bailout"

NELSON (Democrat), MARTINEZ (Republican) VOTE DIFFERENTLY
October 1, 2008 - 10:51PM

Florida's senators were divided tonight. Democratic senator Bill Nelson voted "No" while Republican senator Mel Martinez voted "Yes" for the bill.

http://www.cbs12.com/news/bill_4709851___article.html/vote_street.html

I've already sent my thanks and disgust to them.

[angelatc]

Yeah, it is his first good vote he's made...

LOL! He was just mad because they stripped his amendment out.

[FrankRep]

Damnit Voinovich and Brown, where the fuck are ya

Sad day for Ohio. :(

[Indy4Chng]

Applauds to Senator Wyden... Hate mail to Senator Smith. Smith is up for re-election this year, I was going to vote third party but I am going to vote for the socialist runing against him as I would rather have a socialist democrat than a socialist republican. It is a close race I hope this gets him out of the senate.

I thought Michael Savage made a great point today... lets throw all the republicans out that vote for this... we can't control the democrats and they are never going to be for conservative principles but we can control the republicans and we need to kick out all the non-conservatives to send a message. I will ignore the fact that his a warmonger on this one as it was a great point. It is amazing that the warmonger conservatives and the ron paul conservatives can all agree on this one.

[mudhoney]

I don't understand why Grassley voted for it. I got a letter in the mail today that all but said he would vote no. He voted against the housing bailout also.

Yeah, Feingold has long been an advocate for creating universal health care in America, and is also an advocate of gun control, and campaign finance reform. Real libertarian.

Chuck Hagel was the most libertarian.

[SnappleLlama]

PA sucks.

[qh4dotcom]

While those senators did the right thing by voting against the bailout, I wouldn't call them patriots unless they take their oath of office seriously and their voting record reflects that.
How many of them voted for the Patriot Act?

[LittleLightShining]

I was happy to see at least one of my senators voted No. good Job Feingold.Me, too. Thank you, Bernie Sanders.

Here's the bullshit response Leahy issued about his support of the bill. I just let his aide, "Dan," have an earful and then I asked him if he was recording what I was saying and he said no. So I reiterated my main points and said I wanted Sen. Leahy to know I knew and understood things and I want specific responses to my concerns and I gave him my email address.

Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy

In Support Of The Financial Bailout Package

October 1, 2008



This financial crisis is rooted in material actions involving executive greed and ineptitude, flawed economic policies, and the incompetence of on-the-scene regulatory agencies. And we are dealing with this crisis at the unfortunate intersection of two toxic trends: the loss of confidence in our financial system, and the public’s loss of confidence in the Bush Administration. Many have come to agree with those of us who have long felt that ‘trust me’ is not enough when this White House asks for sweeping new powers.



As this crisis spreads, threatening to harm our families, businesses and communities, the clock has been running out on the federal government’s opportunity to try to staunch the damage. I opposed the original Bush plan, which was fatally flawed on several counts. Since then I have worked in good faith to fix its shortcomings, and by now several constructive changes have been made. After many fits and starts and long negotiations that have run through many nights, the clock is close to running out. As the Senate has prepared to vote on this revised plan, I have weighed its flaws and its improvements against the need for action to avert a wider credit crisis and the harm that would bring to Vermont and the nation.



I had long talks on the day of the vote with Chairman Dodd and Senator Obama and others to understand their reasons for supporting this plan. I have come to agree with them that, while it is far from perfect, it is better than the alternatives at this crucial point. The spreading national emergency tips the balance in favor of this revised plan.



Vermonters are divided on this, and I know that many will disagree with my decision. I respect their views and appreciate the many suggestions they have made to improve this plan or to try other approaches. Many improvements have been made. With credit conditions for businesses, public institutions, states, localities, and average Americans deteriorating every day, I believe that acting now to help put our economy on an even keel has become even more of an urgent priority.



The bill that the Senate voted on tonight has changed significantly since President Bush first proposed a $700 billion blank check last week. It provides greater checks and balances on the government’s authority. Any actions taken by the Treasury Secretary should be approved by an oversight board, supervised by an Inspector General, reviewed under the Administrative Procedures Act, and examined by the courts if there is a question of fraud or abuse. I fought and won in adding the check-and-balance of judicial review.



This revised plan increases the government’s insurance of consumers' and businesses bank deposits from $100,000 to $250,000. This would safeguard the savings deposits of families and businesses and farmers in Vermont and protect the checking accounts of businesses that continually need to buy materials, sell their products and make their payrolls.



This plan now also tightens the restrictions on executive pay and banning golden parachutes for firms participating in the program. Under current law, there are no restrictions on the amount of executive compensation that Wall Street CEOs can be paid. With these people having their hand out for a federal bailout, we should limit executive pay and prohibit greedy executives from walking away from the mess they created with millions while regular American investors lose their savings and retirement funds.



My decision to support this remedy did not come lightly or easily. The worsening crisis has made the choice increasingly clear -- and the stakes of doing nothing, significantly higher.

[PatriotLegion]

Of course my two Senators voted yes - Clinton and Schumer. I sent them my distaste for a vote yes but I knew it was a lost cause anyway, but I tryed...
