1. of at the very least, no to rushed legislation without

any deliberation or debate. Sigh. I'm afraid it's a done deal. Doesn't mean that speaking out against it isn't a good thing, but this is getting rammed through.

2. The war was rammed through as well

5. Many of them have, even the Republicans.

But Cheney and Bush have them scared out of their wits.

Oh, hold on, that's what they did before Iraq, too.

It's only a few months until Bush is gone. Can't they do something small-scale until then?

Might as well give Hitler control over Israel.

NEW YORK -- Hard hats, transit workers, machinists, teachers and other labor unionists railed against the U.S. government's proposed bailout of Wall Street on Thursday in a protest steps from the New York Stock Exchange.

Several hundred protesters yelled their enthusiastic support as union leaders decried a proposed $700-billion plan aimed at reinvigorating the credit markets by relieving financial institutions of distressed debt.

"The Bush administration wants us to pay the freight for a Wall Street bailout that does not even begin to address the roots of our crisis," said AFL-CIO National President John Sweeney.

"We want our tax dollars used to provide a hand up for the millions of working people who live on Main Street and not a handout to a privileged band of overpaid executives."

Signs read "No Blank Checks For Wall Street" and "Our Hard-Earned Pensions Are Not Up For Grabs." Protesters cheered repeated calls for the government to spend money on education, health care and housing as freely and readily as it was proposing to do for Wall Street.
