Republican voters, supporters; are a bunch of brain dead idiots. What the hell are you guys voting in. Its boggles the mind how stupid, outright insane these distorters, liars and spewers of hateful propaganda against main street American workers. I am convienced that right wing christians and any GOP supporter are really anti American. Billions and Billions to rich financial wall street workers, billions and billions in oil profits over the years, billion and billions spent on foreign lands; but, mention an American worker, an American staple of manufacturing, and the GOP blood suckers spew all this ridiculous rhetoric. What the hell is wrong with you Republicans, are you really communists, are you really some kind of terrorist group designed to bring America down; because thats what you guys have done the last 8 years and continue doing. There’s nothing Christian about you, there’s not American about you. Damn you are a spiteful group.

Poor Republicans. Just can’t find that magic formula to bring about the race riots they so crave. What nice people. God-loving too, apparently.

Proud American Liberal Says:

1. It’s not a “bailout”, it’s a LOAN, with oversight.
2. It’s the Republican War on the American Worker.

And please see #19 from Crusty Old Bstard above.
and then add to it, that since there is only really about $3-4 Billion invested in stock of GM, then the gov should only provide a loan for the WORKERS of GM to PURCHASE GM from these scumsucking investorsm, and let GM become a worker owned corporation with the caveat that they ONLY design fuel efficient cars for the next 3-5 years, then electric cars after that, along with designing ANY OTHER Component of the required upgrading of the electric grid they wish to design.

The gov should also pump 5 BILLION into PUBLIC R&D regarding this new fangled electification, and allow car manufacturers who employ AMERICANS to use said technology. All others are shut out.

Make it GOre’s “race to the SUN” (since we get all energy from the sun) and along with #19 and the “War on Terrorism” Obama should put forth a development effort commensurate with the War effort.

DeMint may get his wish though not for the reasons he cited. The Senate has killed the bill and the stock markets world wide are plunging, once again showing just how out of touch Republicans are. It is like the stupid leading the clueless.

More fear mongering to keep the little people in line? There will be riots if the big three collapse and millions more Americans lose their jobs, not the opposite. They want to oversight the loan to death so they can lay the blame at Obama’s feet but where is the oversight on the financial bailout when crap like Bank of America won’t put out money for companies to pay their payroll? They need to shut up and get to real work on these issues before everything just tanks.

Is it just me or do I think the GOP wants the Big 3 to fail during Obama’s presidency so that they could turn around and blame him for being so damn un-American to allow the American auto industry to fail?

Oooops, that was 14 BILLION, not $14, of course.

Oh, they had $700 BILLION for Wall Street, but not $14 to the auto-industry? The GOP is the most despicable creation of human kind.

The riots will be coming to DeMint and the other GOP Senator’s doorsteps if any of the Big 3 go down. If these slap-happy, union busting Senators think putting people out of work for their states benefit will go over well…I would start thinking of good material to use against the news networks once the real reporting begins on a daily basis about who exactly benefited from said Big 3 company sinking.

It will make this Blagojevich scandal look like a 4 o’clock tea party in the garden compared to the thousands of instant people who will become unemployment statistics, thanks to a handful of unagreeable asshats who have nothing to worry about until at least 2010!

Leftside Annie Says:
Yeah, just like there were all those awful riots when Obama was elected, and those anti-Christian riots over Prop 8 — and the riots that went on when Washington gave the banks $700 BILLION…

Effing Republicans. Gawd.

yup, if you go back to the Antebellum South, that rhetoric has been used against any attempts to free the slaves…OMG if we freed the slaves, there would be another Santo Domingo where rape and pillage would rule the day…

Let it be known from this day forward that the GOP refused to help the working class once again. They gave tax breaks to the rich under Bush and bailout money to Wall Street. Working folks need a bailout in Detroit? Too bad. Take a pay cut and maybe we’ll think about. The GOP loves Joe the Plumber but hates the other millions of actual working people.

If the senate Gopers are all concerned about union wages, so concerned they let this package fail, creating another dent in our economy and a horrible day in the stock market tomorrow, then why do we not hear noise about the money spent on Haliburton?

Cats r Flyfishn Says:

Harry Reid needs to let the Republicans filibuster this bill. Let them stand up there and talk and talk and talk all the way until January 2, 2009.

Agree… let America learn what a filibuster is and just who has been obstructing business and blaming it on a so called do nothing dem congress. If the filibuster goes on long enough it will surely become a news worthy item of interest…. . America needs to see who the jerks are.

OMFG — I recently moved from Florida where I had to deal with Nelson (DINO) and Martinez and now I’ll have to deal
with these morons. Republicans are simply unable to tell the truth and they despise working class Americans. They want war but don’t serve; they want prosperity but only for themselves; they want health care but not for you and me; they believe CEOs who fail deserve to be paid millions of dollars but working stiffs should get nothing. Looks as if I have my work cut out for me here…only hope I live long enough to see the changes…

Looks like DeMint and his friends got what they wanted. CNN just reported that talks in the Senate on the package have collapsed. There will be no action on this now until after the new year unless someone blinks.

Just heard the GOP wanted the labor unions to lower their wages …a bunch of crap… Goppers hate labor.

Watch for a bad day in the stock market tomorrow.

Harry Reid needs to let the Republicans filibuster this bill. Let them stand up there and talk and talk and talk all the way until January 2, 2009. It would be good for the Republicans because it would let them air their frustrations. They need this opportunity to let it all out. Then maybe after that, they will be ready to get to work and govern instead of acting like spoiled brats.

I think we should start riots against the republic party in this country. If the bailout doesn’t go through and there are 3 million people out of jobs, then we will have at least 3 million showing up for the riot! Sound good? I think so.
