     The master manipulators of the market and the media are on the march.  The Wall Street Greed-meisters, backed by President Bush, corrupt Congressional leaders and others, are practically demanding Americans fork over $700 billion so they can minimize their losses -- and once again, maximize their profits.

     Wisely, Congress -- including 90 Democrats and more than 100 Republicans -- has said 'no.'  For this exagerrated crisis is really about much more than economics -- it's about the freedoms Americans too often take for granted.  And these greedmeisters will take your freedom away as easily as they're now grabbing your wallets.

     This is a fight for freedom -- not in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever else our 'leaders' may decide we need to go next -- but right here in America.  

     Democrats and Republicans do need to get together and come up with some answers -- and some serious backbone.  As Congress is now doing, this rush to pass legislation, along with the doomsday scenarios, needs to be seriously shoved right back at them.

     A solution, yes.  A sellout at the expense of our freedoms, no.

     We do not need government of the few (Treasury) calling the shots.  

     And since when do Americans need the Europeans to tell us what to do?  This stuff is getting seriously out of hand.  This is the Bush Second Act, with the Iraq War Ride to Nowhere being the first.

     This one is the Ride to Hell, from which there might be no coming back.

     Let's hope the congressmen who have opposed this shell game continue the fight.

I'm not so sure it was the wisdom of Congress that said "no" so much as it was the outcry of the people and the fear of not being re-elected in November.

Funny how the same politicians that say they believe in free enterprise, less government, personal responsibility, and want to do away with "entitlement" programs have all of a sudden changed their tune when it comes to their own financial losses.
