Senators that voted "NO" to the bailout plan

[Shuckins]

They have no imagination about them at all.  Not an original thinker in the bunch.  There were a host of economists and a handful of congressmen who offered intelligent, workable alternatives to this bill......but they would not be swayed. 

I guess there was something mesmerizing...awe inspiring....about handling that much money.

Lincoln and Pryor's votes (Arkansas) didn't surprise me in the least.  Couple of tow-the-line, drink the kool-aid party shills.  Never voted for either, and never will.

Glad to see both senators from Alabama voted NO on the bailout. I hate that it passed since this crap has done nothing to improve the situation.

Anyone notice that BOTH Presidential Candidates, Obama and McCain, vote, "AYE"?

Anyone notice Bush signed it?

[SIK1]

Anyone notice that the vast majority of the people of this country were against the bailout. Did you also notice that our elected officials did what they wanted to anyway.

In their defence their are just trying to protect us, the ignorant masses. After all they have shown such brilliance and wisdom with their leadership in the past. We should just shut up and let them do what's good for them....errr I mean us... errr I mean the U.S.

It looks like our lawmakers really showed us how much our vote counts.

For the people and by the people, as long as the big corporations agree.

too true...

Feingold rarely fails to impress me.

If you're not a resident of Wisconsin, he's not there to impress you... but I guess it's a good thing for him that he does.

Dole voted no.  Burr voted yes.  Odd.

Martinez voted yes, Nelson voted no. Same thing with my state.

Boxer and Fienstine = fired

These are ALL the votes. If you voted NO and you see your state senator on this list with YEA behind their name, vote 'em out of office!

yeah, right. Vote Feinstein and Boxer out of office... In California????? You are either nuts or a big time dreamer.

Since I was able to vote I was given a comfort to vote for anyone I choose. Because? ... Because my vote does not matter. I KNOW who will win CA so why bother.

All my votes so far were "not this guy" votes. Never had a chance to vote for someone I like and who has a chance. So... I'm just throwing my protest votes away.

Perhaps, if more folks would be willing to "throw their vote away" something would change. Not until then.

I still do vote. The Propositions is where I still believe my vote can make a difference.

Yanno.. I'd run for congress myself if I knew how to go about it.

I mean .. really.

I'd do better than the majority there just by using common sense.

ie: If I go bankrupt, do I get paid? NO!
..then NO, they shouldnt get paid either.
Next issue.

Feinstein has to be one of the lamest senators in the entire congress.  Tom Campbell ran against her 8 years ago, a fiscal conservative but socially liberal republican, and was totally trounced.  I was a student at UC Berkeley at the time, and had never considered voting republican before (had barely considered voting at all), but after he came and spoke to my poli-sci class he gained my support.  The fact is, Feinstein isn't going away.

you are not kidding. I am comfortably retired at 52. Naturalized citizen (at 27, legally of course) but I really am a part of this nation. Was allowed to LEGALLY  enter in 1982, swore an pledge in 1987. I am not F* xxfcgn.american , I feel American and I AM an American.

Everything I own (to my name) I owe to USA and the rest of you, really. I do not mean cash. I mean the OPPORTUNITY. I've EARNED what I have now. None of you paid a nickel to support me, ever. Took 25+ years but I did it. As a matter of fact many of irresponsible persons/families benefited from what I have contributed.

GOD Bless America. Anyone who can't appreciate this, go live somewhere else. Try it, live it, love it, and then PLEASE STAY THERE.....

rest of you f* losers just don't f &******** know what you have and as as result you do not appreciate it.
