Bailout Bill Depends On Palin's Thurs Night Performance
This is a repeat from last night - I want to be sure to have everybody see it:
There is absolutely no way members of Congress will allow their OWN
banks to go belly up. There is no way they will allow ATMS to freeze.
They 'want' their money just as badly as we all do. Even if they are
millionaires.
Remember, those that 'have' money hate 'losing
it'. Each day the stock market loses, so do they. They especially,
because that's where all their money is being accumulated.
This
whole mess is being held up for political reasons only. People are
holding back their votes in order to 'get something' they want.
Once
those wishes are met, a bill will be passed. Guess when that will be?
Friday Morning or very early Friday afternoon. Why you may ask? The
Vice Presidential Debate between Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe
Biden is being held the night before.
It's a known fact that
there are many conservatives very worried about Sarah Palin's
performance that night. Some have even suggested before hand that she
withdraw from the position.
If Palin does a terrible job Thursday night -- the passing of a new bill will override any 'bad news' from the Debate.
If Palin does a great job, then the bill will still be passed but just not necessarily on Friday.
Keep
in mind folks, this GOP crew (led by Karl Rove) have always 'used'
breaking news stories to 'hide' stories they'd rather not be seen.
it appears that the United States Economy and Financial market is
completely reliant on Governor Sarah Palin's performance Thursday night.

You don't get it.
The baliout is being "held up" at the moment by Republicans worried about re-election should they SUPPORT it.
And who should support it? The SOURCE of the bill is Bushit. Would YOU support it?
How about this time around we bail out MAIN street instead of the street that fucked everything up?

Because as much as I deplore the trickle down theory of voodoo economics, if we do not support the last two bastions of our economic sector, no amount of capital fed into the bottom (main street) of our economy will save it.
The stimulus packages aimed at aiding main street didn't even work as stop-gap measures. I'm against this bill from a philosophical standpoint, but I'm a pragmatist at heart. Whether you're the richest man in America or the guy living in a two-story refrigerator box in an alley downtown, you should want some sort of bailout passed. Neither can afford the consequences of doing nothing.
