Political Punch

Its a proven fact that Democrats are to blame for this. Everybody needs to do their research then they can talk about this. We started going down hill a year ago. Two years ago is when the democrats took over the house and congress and the senate. Look where were at today..... They really run the country not the president... Do the research.

How about voting only at the local level, having some of the highest voter turn outs, and not voting at the national level because we now know it does not matter how the"average" American feels about issues...neither party listens. Hit them both were it hurts in their political numbers...don't you think some of the ways the $700 billion will be spent will hurt the people. VOTE LOCAL ONLY...THE ONLY PLACE YOUR VOTE COUNTS AND YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

The reality is that the Republicans put an ad out blaming Obama for the passing of the bill (yes, just before it didn't pass), Obama blames Obama for the bill not passing.

It seems that they really just want to cover all their bases, and blame Obama for whatever happens, because really, that's all they've got.

Mark, you're buying what the Democrats and the media are selling. Research how the Democrats - going all the way back to Carter and confirmed as late as 2006 when the Dems shouted down any efforts to reform Fannie/Freddie - forced banks to make loans to bad risk consumers. Bad loans are at the heart of this mess. Lack of Congressional oversight through committees such as Barney Frank's and Chris Dodd's added fuel to the fire. Follow the money and see which politicians reaped the most from Fannie/Freddie and Lehman Brothers. Then come back and tell us how the Republicans caused this mess. Truth is, both parties had a hand in it and there's plenty of blame to go around. And if you think Obama's going to come charging in on a white horse and clean up the mess - note his position on the F/F and Lehman lists and remember - he's only been in Washington for three years!

How about REALLY fixing the problem and ABOLISHING THE FED?!

McCain and the Republican's to blame.
They got all of us into this mess and now want to throw $700 BILLION to their buddies on Wall Street again.
McCain is lame. He has not power even with his own Republican's. He is a crazy, old bully who wants to fight even when he has to pick a fight. Doesn't that sound like what Bush did with Iraq?
Republican's should be voted out of office. No more chances to screw up our economy and blame others!

McSame...Mission Accomplished !

I blame the republicans.

I blame the republicans for having the ##### to stand up to bush and his cronies and tell em to eat it.

Who's fault is it? It is the house republican's fault that Liberty was allowed to live another day.

It's the republican's fault we may actually get out of this mess.

Democrats... Why don't you stand up for what you believe in? This bailout is a joke and you stand behind it as if it were your own. Why would anyone want to pass this?

McCain is doing nothing more than political meandering. He and Obama have had no influence on this debate in the House and yet he wants to take credit for the great strides of progress? At least Obama is trying to do the right thing and stay the hell out of it. Time to move over and let the real experts have their say.

SAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Since when was it Barack Obama's responsibility to line up votes in the House Republican Caucus? McCain couldn't even get anyone from Arizona to vote on this thing.

Come on...don't try so hard to make it into what it is not

The Dems (Pelosi) tried to fix the blame right before the vote

He was talking about not fixing the blame for the original crisis

If half of you are half as smart as you think you are then you already know that

Of course you may be the people Thomas Sowell was talking about here

"that is enough for those who think in terms of talking points, without wanting to be confused by the facts."

confused now?

NO mccain/palin!

vote for real change

OBAMA 08!

..this is a small part of the grand stunt of the republicans. make things work for mcbush when everybody is confused.

remember he wont do any campaign nor attend the debate, until the bailout is passed at the congress.

and this is a bush + GOP + republican appointees proposal. So when the deal fell apart on the House floor yesterday, in no small measure because most of the chamber’s Republicans balked at voting for it, the McCain campaign worked to contain the potential for damage. The first defense was to go on offense.

lies! lies! lies!

blame it to democrats and obama

I don't know but does anyone else here see a quantum difference in intelligence levels between Obama and McCain and in their thoughtfulness? One man has excelled through Harvard and the other, without His Father's enourmous influence and pull, muddled C's and lackluster performance throughout his background. Who can make more wise decisions. Another thing, doesn't solitary confinement produce lasting psychological problems of a major kind?

McBush truly is a loser in every sense of the word. Unreal!

Jiff

If McCain knew how to fly a plane we could not even been having this conversation.

Keating 5 would have done him away if he wasn't a "hero"

Obama is a elitist

I remember 4 years ago Democrats ran on the promise of change. Did they do anything other than destroy our economy to win an election

Lets start a race war against FOX NEWS since they are the only MAJOR news service to cast a critical eye on Obama to expose him for the fraud he really is

If Obama wins, it means hiring an arsonist to fight a fire. Since it was people like him whose racist agitation on behalf of non-credit-worthy borrowers would lead to the disaster we are in now then p;ay the BLAME GAME NOW

I am writing this message to inform people of the injustice being perpretrated by Fox News against Barack Obama. For the past two weeks there has been nothing but negative reporting against senator Obama by the Fox News network, which is unfair to listeners and the candidate. This networks seemingly biased opinions are not of interest to us viewers. My concern is that negative reporting like this will influence voters that are undecided of which candidate best express their wishes. I depend on these news stations for fair, accurate and just reporting regardless of the outcome whether it be a debate or any other current event and if that cant be accomplished I feel that it is grounds for that station (Fox News network) to be boycotted until they learn and understand that those types of injustices will not be tolerated. If anyone else can relate to the unfair reporting of Fox News I suggest that you join us in a boycott of this news station. PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG.
