Bailout bogs down House GOP balks at cost of deal; late talks with Paulson fruitless

In eight short years this country went from an economic boom to what appears to be the beginning of the most serious economic crisis in my life time�and all the conservatives can do is fight.
Could anyone have failed the American people more than Doubou-Yeau, the republicans, the religious right and their family values?
I for one am ready for a change in Washington. I�m tired of gross economic negligence and ignorance, wars based on lies, torturing prisoners, suspended civil rights, tax cuts for the rich, blatant manipulation of the media, covert spies being outed, fear based politics that hype the �threat to marriage� to get elected, alienation of all of our allies, complete denial of global warming, a 6 trillion dollar war and completely ignoring our health care crisis at home. I�m tired of conservative values. I�m tired of corruption and deception. I�m ready for someone else to represent my family�s values.
If this is what conservatives had in mind with �family values� then please protect me. My family has already been hurt bad enough and yet, sadly, the nightmare of the conservatives legacy is just beginning.
We also need to KILL the laws that (a) forced lenders to make loans to people who cannot repay them, and (b) forced Fannie and Freddie to buy those loans fromteh banks who made them.
NO MONEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED directly or indirectly to "housing advocacy groups" which are nothing more than Democrat front groups such as ACORN.
Time for our congressional delegation to show some guts and do the right thing. THat may be especiallyi hard for Pelosi's pet poodle Jimmy Matheson, but occasionally he shows some courage.
at least McCain was right on needing to concentrate on this issue.
I hope that congress if and when they act act with the sprit of the Hoppocrates oath. first do no harm.
Obama come accros as snivaling and wineing as the democrates in congress. oh ya he is one. no wonder conservatives and independants don't trust Obama as a leader.
I wish he could tell someone what his plans are without mudding up the water with his hatred for president bush. or is being anti bush his only plan. if so the country is in grave danger.
McCain is no "White Knight in shining armor" airlifted in to D.C. to save the day and nation.
If this "Bail Out" passes, I want to see the assetts purchased at 50 cents on the dollar - not what generally goes on in D.C. $1,200 hammers, toilets, etc. No overpriced bad assetts with my money!
I guess the Democrat controled Congress WANTS US ALL to do into a Depression, that will take several years to get out of, wants us all to be unemployed, wants us to suffer, wants the World to crash to, than they are happy?.
I'm obviously not a banker because I don't understand why the above statement is true. But I can read the news. So Washington Mutual went under. Big deal, JP Morgan Chase was there to pick up the assets, the transition for WaMu customers should be fairly seamless. Seems to me that the market is correcting itself. Can someone explain why the bailout is necessary?

Bennett appears to be out of touch, but he probably feels safe being two years away from re-election. He'll have to learn about the consequences of ignoring his constituents the hard way.
