Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate tonight approved a $700 billion financial-rescue plan that funds the biggest government intervention in the markets since the Great Depression. The package now goes to the House of Representatives, which rejected an earlier version of the measure.
The bill, a bipartisan effort to restore confidence in the nation's banking system, passed 74-25 with 40 Democrats, 33 Republicans and independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut voting for it. The two presidential nominees, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, returned from the campaign trail to cast votes for the plan...
Well, that does it.
Retract what I said earlier... I will be voting a straight third party ticket this time around.
Even if John McCain might be better for the cause of Men's Rights, his support of this criminal plan shows me that he is unfit for the office of President of the United States.
It's too bad. America has completely prostituted herself in order to pay her past due credit card bills.
While the bill still has to go to the House of Representatives for consideration before it becomes law, I'm afraid that the legislation will indeed pass.
Not that it will improve things, of course.
This bailout will be the first of many before The End.
God help us all.
Toku.

Once again, our hopes rest on the House.
This time, 'dialing for dollars' takes on a whole new meaning. Constituents, start calling your reps and let them know that you're still opposed!
But then again, we're in Brussels Dance mode, where if our Leaders don't like the vote, they have more votes until the result they want is obtained. It's democratic, you see?
Now you get it. The lesser of two evils is still evil. I hope everyone else is getting what a bunch of scumbags these people in Washington are with the exception of a few.
Things never are as they seem.
This is a blessing in disguise.
Here's the good news: The Future is Primitive.
That'll kill feminism. This is worth all the gold in the world. No sacrifice too steep.
There could be no greater reward.
Let's sink the ship and be FREE.

Get ready for Great Depression 2.0!
There is one good thing about all this. The illegals are heading back to Mexico.
Silver,
That is good news.
Unfortunately... will other countries take us in when American refugees become commonplace??
Better get your travel documents in order!
