Thanks for the name calling. I am sure you know the reason people resort to name calling. This vote was lead the the speaker of the house who is a Dem.

Find out what they are importing and we can boy-cot the items.

Americans, better get their minds off little grips and start paying attention to what's going on in DC.

Anyone who believes that the republican party does no wrong is a party idiot in my opinion. The republicans are just as guilty, even McCain voted for this bailout with all of the pork added to it. And if you are worried about bill and obama making any money off of this bailout, then you should have been worried about all of the money bush family made off of this oil sham. The rising cost of oil and healthcare has helped create the mess this country is in. It really affected the mortgage industry. And guess what, the republicans were in control during most of that period of time.

This vote had nothing to do with the Bailout. This vote proves that what the Dem's say about being for the US worker is a false statement. Why is it when the Dem's lie it is everybody's fault but when the Rep's lie it is only there fault? I know it hurts when those you support lie to you as the Dem's this time have.

No body pays tariffs on cocaine anyway, and we want to keep the coffee prices lower too.

I feel that the Democrates and the Republicans have all sold us out. You didn't hear anyone crying out about the loss of jobs. We've the dumb middle class has seen this domino game play out for the last 20 years. Each time we lost our jobs we may have found another one but less money little or no benefit. Guess what their isn't any jobs of substance left.
Im voting against everyone that wasn't voted in at the last election.

These trade agreements with these South American country's have been in place for years. Republican and Democrat parties have both pushed to insure these trade agreements.

The job's you talk of loosing to South America are not going there. The real fact is, many American manufacturing jobs are going to China.

South America has many jobs at this time due to agriculture, shipping, and some energy exports. We as well as many North American countries need these South American treaties to insure food for the winter, and even fuel oil to heat homes.

True there are some industrial jobs that have gone south, but that was to give help to areas of greater export from the South American region.

This by no means, has hurt the Americans worker.

jasage, these are unprecedented times, and I really do think our government is showing us that NEITHER Republicans NOR Democrats really, in the end, represent the working class and only pander to the ultra uber-rich and wealthy. NONE of these big Wall Street banks need a bailout. The American worker needs a bailout.

But what is frustrating is hearing your constant whining about Democrats. Dem policy hurt American workers - right. Sure it did. Geez, when you see a duck, do you call it a duck, or something else?

It is as obvious as Bush's hypocracy that REPUBLICAN economic policy of the last seven, going on eight, years has RUINED the economy middle-class people live in. And all to PAD THE PROFITS of the super-wealthy. Make NO mistake about it. Things were just great during Clinton, and went south (no pun intended) when the crooks, er, I mean the pubs took over. Like Biden said last night, the key to prosperity is the middle-class - the rich can get richer when the middle-class is booming. Not the other way around - which was "the Reagan way" (trickle down BS lie).

Look at how Republicans work in California. Just today, Schwartzwhatever said they need $8 BILLION from the government, to pay for, and I quote, "teachers' salaries, nursing homes, law enforcement and every other state-funded service". Yeah, I guess so - as usual, no money for teachers and nursing home etc. Gee, you think it's because they already paid out so much to corporate welfare, tax breaks for the rich, socialism for corporate developers, and more tax breaks for corporations to create

Sik there you go again. Phony war based on lies. The mistake Bush made was to use the intel he got from the Clinton adm. By the way did you see in the weekend STL post the Billions of dollors that have gone to STL workers from the defense dept to supply the troops. I am with you on the bailout. I don't see why I should have to pay for someone elses home. Nor why I should pay for a company to have the money to make payroll. My biggest fear is that Obama will blink when confronted by a foe of the US. The way the English did at the start of WWll. The vote by the Dem's on the trade agreement shows they don't rep the working class. And in this case the Repub's did. The Reagen way worked it was during his time in office that the overall wealth in the US grew the most.

jsage I agree with you 100% - I have watched and listened to lies and more lies and then I had to research for myself and that is when I made my mind up (I live in Illinois) and I know what Obama has done for us, NOTHING, and if he is elected then all 57 states (according to Obama) will be seeing first hand what we in Illinois have lived with. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES
Another issue that I have is the Dems do nothing wrong and will never admit they done anything wrong and they are forever saying the Rep's are wrong and it seems the Reps do nothing right. Obama was wrong on the surge and will not say he was wrong - instead you get a bunch of mumbling words that are not even a sentence. They can not make up their mind who is running for president McCain or Palin. Even the St. Louis Post Dispatch had a headline that read: Is Palin ready to be president.
