True, but Obama has run away before even fighting. What is his position on this? His silence is telling.

Phone calls "100 to 1 against" the bill.

Ron Paul - hurts the dollar.

Jeb Hensarling - do the right thing, even if it takes another week, don't vote for this bill.

here is another one for your 11th Commandment...

Months ago, i said that POTUS are usually unqualified to do much of anything, they are figurehead leaders who give speeches and visit other countries....they are not overly knowledgeable in any relevant specialty because they have spent the majority of their lives running and holding offices, as opposed to practicing in the field. I also said that both candidates are largely goofballs and that it really wont make a big difference which one is elected because neither one will really make that big of a difference.

And now, all these months later, it becomes more and more apparent that I was right all along.

Meanwhile, you guys can keep trying to find the smoking gun that proves that one candidate is truly better than the other.

I don't have a pitchfork. Can I use a rake?

Cali, when is the revote? What is your intuition telling you now?

From Ron Paul's perspective it's time to wring out toxins from the economy, the hard way, if need be?

I've called it. Obama will win, this thing is over. Time for him to lead, to take up the mantle and find the best path. Instead he leaves it to the likes of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reed -- as if they are any more qualified.

to even realize what is involved in this 'bailout'. Wait till they see the affect of not doing anything will have on their 401K's. Perhaps then the light will come on.

Sometimes justice takes precedence over cost.
