How can Congress allow itself to get Suckered Again? Mushroom Clouds of Destruction...We Must Act
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 09:00 AM by KoKo01
Immediately."

Just like with the Iraq Invasion we are being told "we have no other choice, the crisis is immediate, give us everything we want, now!

Chimperor is going to be in New York demanding Congress act or the consequences will be too grave.

We've heard this before. As Glenn Greenwald pointed out: Patriot Act, Iraq Invasion, FISA...

What is wrong with our Congress and why are our Democrats on Banking and Finance willing to go along when they know they have been snookered over and over again with disastrous consequences.

If Bush get's everything he wants I think McCain/Palin will win the election. They will look strong and the Dems weak for not standing up to this unpopular (with American people) bailout rushed through as the only solution to world market implosion.

I don't believe this crisis is imminent. There must be another solution and since we aren't being given another option to discuss then it's suspicious.

Why won't our Dems call a TIME OUT...? Why do they want to look weak?

I've just about given up on any change. Next he will get authority to bomb Iran or Pakistan for all we know if we give Chimperor this all wrapped up in a pretty ribbon.

it at least makes you feel like you have a chance to speak your mind. i was surprised that real people answered the phone. it was cathartic ( i think that's the correct word) :):)

4. I've given up on them...after six years of calling, faxing, e-mailing...but maybe one more time
might make me feel better even if I know they really don't listen.

3. Threats seem to work so well with this bunch. Congress caves every damn time.
I remember bu$h saying that he would have to bang some heads and twist some arms back in 2000, right after the SC gave him the WH. He has done just that.

6. Because they know the Democratic leadership will hold down the nation while they rape it repeatedly.
The Pelosi Traitor will publicly make some noise and privately be happy to give the criminals even more cover.

Just like the Nazification Patriot Act, those criminals had this already drafted in a think tank and ready to go for years.

Now, all of the sudden it is an "emergency" and the sky is falling and the Democrats are left fumbling and confused and to be portrayed once again as obstructionists.
