Kill the Bill
Via Michelle Malkin:
We don’t have to have this trillion-dollar bailout shoved down our throats.
You can make a difference.

It’s already working. Peter Viles at L.A.Land:
A key quote in this morning’s Senate hearing about the Paulson bailout is worth repeating. This comes from Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat:
“Like my colleagues, my phones have been ringing off the hook. The sentiment from Ohioans about this proposal is universally negative.”
Not “overwhelmingly negative.” Not “deeply suspicious.” Not “extremely upset.” Universally negative.
I’ll state the obvious: Members of Congress aren’t generally in the habit of passing historic and spectacularly unpopular legislation five weeks before election day.
Conservatives should consider making a special call to John McCain’s office. He’s playing politics and waffling on this while American taxpayers have a huge tab at risk.
I gotta say that I don’t know what to think on this. I dunno whether we’re worse off if we bail out, or if we don’t bail out. Will we pay more if we don’t than if we do?
I DO know that Obami took over $105,000 dollars in campaign contributions from Freddie and Fannie while they were failing.

This might be the most bi-partisan bill in the history of congress. Both parties screwed up and are hoping to put a band-aid on it with a quick fix. This is why I’m a Libertarian. They will not support this mess.
==Both parties screwed up…==
But Dems screwed up more, and Dodd, Obama, Kerry and Clinton profited from this via campaign contributions from Freddie and Fannie. They are the top four recipients.
==… and are hoping to put a band-aid on it with a quick fix.==
And YOUR solution is….that is, beside clichés….
==This is why I’m a Libertarian. They will not support this mess.==
I suppose it’s too much to ask for you to be specific.
