Alot of people are not voting for McCain because they like him so much, they are voting against Obama because he is inexperienced and unqualified.
is to give wall street over $700 billion
WASHINGTON - Two House leaders said Wednesday headway is being made toward getting the $700 billion financial industry rescue bill through Congress, thanks partly to a provision increasing insurance for people's deposits. President Bush planned to call lawmakers asking for their support ahead of a crucial Senate vote Wednesday night.

We have to keep up the pressure......call, email, write your representatives/senators.
NO TO CORPORATE WELFARE or I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU.
The plan for Wednesday night's vote was set after leaders there agreed to add tax breaks for businesses and the middle class and increase deposit insurance in an attempt to revive the legislation rejected by the House. The White House tried to build support by warning of the conseqences of failure.

LOL This is their answer, tax breaks!
Oh I know, why not hand out another round of rebates and push us even further into debt!!!
No wonder the Democratic leadership left Hillary out to dry.

"The masters of the universe, those brilliant Wall Street insiders who have made more money than the average American can even dream of, have brought our financial system to the brink of collapse," Sanders said, and are demanding that the middle class "pick up the pieces that they broke."

The only Socialist in the American congress voted no.
It doesn't surprise me that Feinstein voted yes, she's the next Lieberman but I expected alot more from Boxer!
Nothing on this planet has caused more wars, hatred, and prejudice than religion.
Once again the middle class gets screwed!
In an otherwise contentious debate, both Biden and Palin said they did not support civil marriages for same-sex couples.

at our expense.
but it just makes Biden romantic
smeared the best democratic candidate a racist then bought all the delegates he needed through contributions to their PACs?
And talk about devoid of qualifications......134 hours in the Senate with so many "present" votes just doesn't cut it.
Taxpayers can obtain information with much detail taking apart this bailout deal from many sources. The Nader/Gonzalez website contains a ten point plan that shows how to legislate in the public interests of the workers, consumers and tax-payers, punish the wrongdoers and prevent another such financial collapse of casino capitalism from a repeat future rush to Washington to feed at the trough of socialism.
Ask why they didn't require speculators to fund their own bailout while you, the taxpayer, pay 5-10 percent sales tax for necessities. Speculators buy $500 trillion of securities derivatives each year and don't pay one penny. A mere 1/10 of 1 percent sales tax on purchases of these derivatives would raise $500 billion per year to pay for their bailout. Let the speculators fund their own bailout.

It began with 90% of black voters supporting an unknown and inexperienced candidate simply because he shared the same color skin.
Now we have discrimination enshrined in the California constitution thanks to these same black voters voting for Proposition 8.
From the CNN web site:
Vote by Race
White yes 47% no 53%
African-American yes 70% no 30%
Latino yes 51% no 49%
Asian yes 47% no 53%
Other yes 50% no 50%
To the gay community: Next time you vote or donate money remember this fact, 70% of black voters chose to discriminate against you.
It is clear who our enemies are and don't ever forget it.
"I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman." (From the Human Rights Campaign's 2008 Presidential questionnaire) - Barack Hussein Obama
PS Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who put civil law above religious law?

the fact remains the "new" president is the same as the "old" president when it comes to gay marriage. They both put their bigoted religion ahead of people's civil rights.
If you haven't figured out yet that Obama doesn't care at all about gay rights you have completely bought into the Obama propaganda the media has been spewing for the last 2 years.
