Name senators contributing to bailout

Why has no one addressed which senators added the pork to the bailout bill? I want to know who added the wooden arrows, the motion picture money, etc. As they say in the real world, who's their daddy?

Finally,someone has the right question. Was it that long ago these so called candidates vowed to stop the special intrest pork barrel spending? And then this....
Its time to stop the sell-out.

I thought John McCain was against pork!!!! He voted for it.....What happened to the "If I'm president I'll veto every Pork project that comes across my desk". More lies and deceit. And I'm not happy that Obama voted for it also.
Good question Pam Burns let's see if you get an answer.

robertwp, I was puzzled as to why Naugebauer voted against it. He usually votes down the party line. I might have to change my opinion of him now that he showed some guts. Maybe he was worried about the coming election?

A good quote I read somewhere that voters called in to voice their opposition to the bail-out:
"50 percent called in to vote no, the other 50 percent called in to vote hell no!"

Everyone knows that Cornyn and Hutchison are GW hacks and are only towing the line for the mans screw-ups.
I was recently in South Texas and was amazed at all the Noriega signs in the yards, not sure what that means but did notice it.

Vote out the incumbent every single time, it is the only way we the people will have no taxation without representation.

"Everyone knows that Cornyn and Hutchison are GW hacks"

I don't approve of their vote either, but wouldn't this same logic make Obama a "GW hack"?

Obama pelosi and Reed are laughing at GW giving them what they want without ever asking.

Like I said GW's screw-ups. This money that the goverment is now going to throw the banks is nothing more than a theft from American taxpayers to the wealthiest of the wealthy.
The government is going to put stipulations on how much the CEO's and executives can receive in compensation, is this not a little too late.
The CEO's and high priced executives have already stolen their money and now get to set back and keep it plus their nice goverment checks they will receive.
I was astonished when this bailout was done by a Republican and not a Democrat, guess ole George is slipping in his waining days.
Now lets see how many people he pardons on his way out, any bet it might be some of the people that helped cause this mess.

hey, 40, you didn't answer the question. since obama supported the bailout does that make him a GW hack, too?

Posted by donny on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 p.m. (Suggest removal)

No it makes him smart.

Posted by pcdrs on October 15, 2008 at 10:25 p.m. (Suggest removal)

huckster, try to post something that makes sense.

Didn't ole maverick vote for it also?

Who won the debate? This question counts on your IQ level.

So donny, everyone that voted for the bailout is a GW hack, but Obama voted for the bailout and that makes him smart. This must involve your extensive knowledge of the far left. Please let us hear more.

Laugh chili admitted socialist voting for the bail out. How could it be anything but smart. You need better comprehension skills. Maybe you and reaganite can get some good deals on adult education.

Donny let's just look at your first two sentences (if you can call them sentences) and discuss adult education.

"Laugh chili admitted socialist voting for the bail out."

You're right about comprehension skills donny, I have no clue what you are trying to communicate in this sentence. Are you calling me an admitted socialist and I voted for the bail out while laughing? What are you trying to communicate donny?

"How could it be anything but smart."

This appears to be a question. On the bottom right corner of your keyboard there is a question mark (?).
When you say "it" are you talking about Obama's vote? If so why is his vote smart and all others are part of a right wing conspiracy.

Come on little donny. (Little donny because of the lower case letter d. Most people use a capital D for a proper name) Support your argument. Use your head. Why do you support Obama? What common beliefs do you and Obama have? Tell us why he is smart.

Let me guess, your next argument will be:

Obama/Biden '08 or maybe GO OBAMA!!
