Is anyone in the Congress going to stand up and say no to the bailouts?

Anyone going to point out that the world won't end if AIG fails and is bought up piece by piece.

It would be nice if we could stop every dime of this from going out and let General Motors and the rest of them know there will be nothing for them when they come whining.

I'm sure there won't be anyone, they'll all talk about how much the Treasury secretary scared them in their meeting.

2. Texas:
Rep. John Culberson R- Houston
Rep. Mike McCaul R-Austin
Rep. Ron Paul R-Lake Jackson
Rep. Al Green D-Houston
Senator John Cornyn R-Texas
Senator Kay Bailey R-Texas


Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

4. I dunno. i can see some Repubs resisting this debt, and some Dems as well
NY dems like Schumer and Clinton will obviously have to vote for the package, but not sure of the rest of the Senate.

5. No. But, they will apologize and tell us they were "misled" when it fails.
