As usual, only the complainers post. I for one support this bill. It may not be great, but I'd like to see all you change your tune when the economy tanks and you can't get your loans for cars/schools/houses, etc. Everyone will be crying to the government saying 'How could you let this happen?!' I think the CEO's and liable parties should be held responsible for the greed that caused this crisis, and I am not thirlled about the bill, but again, it had to be done.

STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! DUMYYYYYYYYS

October 3, 2008 at 4:32 pm

Our Representative voted Nay so we will be supporting Linder. Also a THANK YOU to our representative as well as all the other Nay votes. Thank you for listening to your voters and your country. Thank you for thinking about US instead of Wall St's pockets. I hope the appreciation is shown the next time you are up for re-election! Thank you - Keep Listening to your voters and you will keep your job. To the Yay votes.... Representatives that voted Yay Do you need glasses or hearing aids? Because your voters did not want this vote passed.

October 3, 2008 at 4:31 pm

Alan Maples

Sanford Bishop of Georgia voted FOR the bailout. Since he didn't vote for me, I'll be working to get him out of congress in November.

October 3, 2008 at 4:31 pm

Mine voted for this bill... I'm firing him come November! The area voiced their opinions in an open forum and he IGNORED US. WHEN WILL OUR CONGRESSMEN START LISTENING TO US!? AND WHEN WILL THEY STOP ADDING ALL THIS PORK AND MAKE REAL LEGISLATION!?

October 3, 2008 at 4:26 pm

Dave Finley

My congressman, LoBiondo, voted "Nay". I am very happy with his vote and plan to vote for him. If he had voted "Yea" I am not sure that I would support him. If it was Nov. 4th, it would have been "Nay".

October 3, 2008 at 4:26 pm

Thank you to my representative Rep. Mica of Florida for voting NO.

October 3, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Gary Poukish

Oh, one more thing. My representative (Altmire) voted NO but I am sure he did so because he is in a tough re-election battle and the toads have heard the people's objection to this bill. Pelosi has let dems in tight races to vote NO. My point, if your rep is up for re-election and voted NO he/she is probably just trying to save his/her job. They got us here with their poor oversight of Fannie and Freddie and we should just fire them all!

October 3, 2008 at 4:09 pm

Will Rogers said it best: The opposite of Pro is Con. So the opposite of progress is CONGRESS!

October 3, 2008 at 4:06 pm

We need term limits--all this nonsense would stop. Voting certain ways in order to get voted in again--not for the best of the people, the country--just vote what's best for me and those who fill my pockets with other people's money. Personally I may never vote for any incumbant again--set my own term limits on them.

October 3, 2008 at 4:02 pm

My husband and I voted NO as did our state & rep...thank you, Tom. And Matthew, we don't have to wait until Nov. to be the SRA...Socialist Republic of America...we already are!!!

October 3, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Gary Poukish

We needed to do something to secure the markets, but I agree with the sentiments being expressed here. We continue to send these toads to Washington, they continue to waste and mismanage our money. We need to vote them out. We need to insist on term limits. We need to trim the federal bureaucracy and for added measure I would like to disqualify all lawyers from serving in Congress and the White House!

October 3, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Brad Harris

Ahhh .. our elected officials. I guess it really doesn't matter anymore what the American people say. They're going to do whatever they want to do. Let's take a look at what our founding fathers said ... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ... really, can't we just vote every single incumbant out and start fresh? Can we get politicians that actually care about and truly represent the people? Something to think about: $700,000,000,000 = $400,000 to every single home mortgage holder in America Thanks for your time.

Kudos to Tom Latham of Iowa 4th District. It was good to find a little political backbone in this part of the state. I expected better of Senator Grassley. I did not expect anything good of Senator Harkin, and as usual, he did not disappoint me.

October 3, 2008 at 3:54 pm

My ex representative (Saxton from NJ) voted yes. I'm not voting for the republicans or the democrats. I'm going with the independents.

October 3, 2008 at 3:52 pm

my man john linder voted against this big turkey and im proud of him and he will be getting my vote this year, way to go JOHN.................... kelly perkins

October 3, 2008 at 3:49 pm

T. Peterson

Giffords (D-AZ) voted "Nay" on Tuesday, but "Yea" today? Not enough gravy on the pork the first time around eh Gabbie? Oh, and where is the congressional investigation of the Fed in all this? Where is the congressional investigation of Fanny and Freddy? Where's the congressional investigation of ...congress? If we can seize assets of Al-Qaida, how much easier could it be to seize assets of the "pocket-pols?"

Ranger Don

My TX Senators voted Yes...bye bye y'all. My GOP House Rep voted NO....good.

October 3, 2008 at 3:40 pm

Boucher just lost my vote. Have you guys seen all of the garbage attached to this bill?

October 3, 2008 at 3:39 pm

SR Hildebrand

I am proud of my representative Tim Johnson-IL he heard the people, he voted NO. He has earned my vote!! Dick Durbin & Barrack Obama - Senators for the State of Illinois, shame,shame,shame!! You have earned my NO vote, I dont' care of a snake is running against you, I will vote for the snake, he's got more spine!!

October 3, 2008 at 3:39 pm

They all should have voted no! Why did they listen to guys like ignorant Warren Buffet? What does he know about the economy anyway??! And all of those entities like AARP, all of the Chamber of Commerce organizations who had businesses that couldn't fund their payrolls or expenses -- bunch of Commies. President Bush has wisely led us through 8 years and put us in a position of economic stability and worldwide respectability. Here is to 4 more years!!! God bless America.

Micaiah2004

THE TWO IDIOTS-HAWAII REP HIRONO AND ABADABBADOOO VOTED INITIALLY AGAINST THE $700 BILLION WASTEFUL SPENDING TO BENEFIT WALL ST LOSERS AT EXPENSE OF THE TAXPAYERS, BUT NOW ON THE SECOND GO AROUND, THE TWO IDIOTS VOTED FOR THE $700 BILLION WASTEFUL SPENDING. AFTER A WHILE, THE GOVT WILL BE BACK FOR MORE MONEY TO THROW INTO THE BLACK HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS STUPID $700 BILLION BAILOUT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE CAUSE(S) OF THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN/ECONOMIC CRISIS....IT JUST DELAYS THE RECOGNITION OF TOXIC WASTE LOSSES...!!!!! WE WILL BE WORST OFF AND NOW HAVE TO FACE HYPER-INFLATION IN ADDITION TO A DEPRESSION!!! THIS TWO IDIOTS ALONG WITH OTHER RECKLESS, MORALLY CORRUPT CONGRESSPERSONS SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF OFFICE. THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ECONOMICS 101, FINANCE 101 OR BUSINESS 101. WHO VOTED THESE IDIOTS TO MISREPRESENT US IN CONGRESS AND CONTINUE TO TAKE SPECIAL INTERESTS MONIES INTO THEIR POLITICAL COFFERS...THUS, LOOKING AFTER THE FAT CAT DONORS, INSTEAD OF THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC???????

DavidMartin

To Kevin Coveart, You are doing the right thing and getting punished for it. Many did the wrong thing and will be rewarded for it. You and your family will be better off because you take responsibility for your committments. I am ashamed of my presidential candidate but proud of my Senators and my Representative. My presidential candidate is a republican. He let me down. I am frustrated too but be assured that most Americans are like my family and yours and that is what will keep America strong. God Bless You, Your Family and All Americans that live their life in an honorable way. God help those that do not.

October 3, 2008 at 3:34 pm

I said no too, my rep said yes...I will say no again at the polls in November!!! Wolf your outa there!!! One other thing...if those idiots on cap hill would put the kind of energy wasted on this bill to work on real problems...this country would be in a hell of lot better shape...it would help if they listened to the people also!

October 3, 2008 at 3:33 pm

I am a Republican but every year that Ike Skelton (D-MO) came up for re-election I have voted for him. This year’s election is going to be easy for me. I am voting against every incumbent that comes up for re-election. It is high time we as Americans take our government back from the elitists and lobbyists in Washington. They are not listening anyway. What happens to everyone that caused this crisis anyway? What has happened to accountability? Do you think we as everyday people would be bailed out if we made such poor decisions about our finances? No! As a matter of fact those in Congress have made it more difficult to file bankruptcy. They will hold us accountable just not the elite rich in charge. Don't kid yourself America has become an oligarchy, rule by the rich.

October 3, 2008 at 3:30 pm

Without question, I will be voting against the GA politicians that voted for this bail out. Anyone that voted for this fiasco for WORKING Americans is a thief, in my opinion. I am also angry that all 4 nominees for the #1 and #2 (McCain, Palin, Biden & Obama) positions in American politics also DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE DESIRES OF THE PEOPLE THAT PAY THEM . . . forever. MAYBE BOB BARR is the answer FOR THE WHITE HOUSE after all. I am seriously considering voting FOR BOB BARR!!!!!!!!!!

October 3, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Paragrouper

My Representative, Burgess, stuck to his guns and for that I am thankful. My Senators from Texas, However, folded like a lawnchair and voted yes. For them I will vote no, starting with John Cornyn this November. Vote for the other guy (or gal)!

October 3, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Welcome to the U.S.S.A. (United Socialist States of America)!

Gale Cunningham

My Senator Johnson from Illinois did the RIGHT thing. He voted NO! I agree with alot of the comments, and truely think that if these legislators (I use this now with caution) would listen to the voting public instead of the "big shots" who got themselves in trouble, and the US government along with them, the votes would have been all NO. The actions of the entire legislature in the House & Senate are deploreable. We need to make sure they know this. If your Senator or Congress person voted for this "joke" Please don't send them back if they are up for election. Please don't allow these ridiculous actions go unnoticed come November 4th.

October 3, 2008 at 3:23 pm

R Henderson

I am pleased to see that the Louisiana congressman voted against this horrible bill. He can be assured of my vote and of those I can influence at his next election effort.

I will vote against my Rep. If he voted for this bill. Laura Edstrom-Smith

THEY VOTED YES,AND I WILL BE VOTING NO!!!!WE NEEDED SOMETHING,BUT NOT THIS. THEY CAN CALL IT WHAT THEY WANT, AND PUT CANDY IN THE MIDDLE, I STILL WILL NOT BUY IT. IN REALITY, MORE MONEY---MORE POWER(FOR THEM OF COURSE). YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON THIEVES........

October 3, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Richard Saunders

Sam Graves voted against the bill and lost a lot of votes from the real estate community. This was not a bailout, merely a mechanism neccessary to restart the mortgage pipeline. A lot of blame has been thrown around; how about blaming the people that bought too much house and did not pay teir bills! People need to take persomal reponsibility for debts they create. The old salesman

October 3, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Matthew Fretwell

All I can say for the ones who voted YES, I SAID NO! You folks are tarred and feathered! Wait till November... Welcome to the Socialist Republic of America, someone grab the tea, its going overboard!

October 3, 2008 at 2:55 pm

John Campbell

Mary Fallin is a hypocrite! She stated that she would NOT vote for this bill, but now, after 100 billion of more debt, she is for it????? She should change her affiliation to Democrat tomorrow!

Robert Hearn

My Texas senators earned my NAY vote for them. What greed and irresponsibility! I would not be surprised to see a revolution in our future.

October 3, 2008 at 2:54 pm

KevinCoveart

To those who voted NO, thank you for voting NO for me and my family on the bailout bill. That includes my congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan and Senator Stabenaw. We have a good credit rating which I am proud of. Together, we make $80,000 per year. We live within our means with regard to our mortage. We drive 6 and 9 year old GM cars, but did purchase a used 2006 Dodge truck to replace my 14 year old truck two years ago. I will drive it for 14 years. I would love a new Dodge or GM or Ford vehicle. But we have have two boys at Michigan State and our decision is that their future and tuition is more important that vehicles or a home we can not afford. Not only am I paying my mortage, paying for my "new" used vehicle, two MSU tuition students, but now I am paying for those that made poor choices to purchase homes for which they could not afford. Not only that, another $155 billion dollars of unnecessary spending at a time when they call the economy in crisis. Every two weeks, we and millions of other Americans pour our retirement funds into Wall Street. There is no loss of input into investing in my Country, the greatest on Earth. How can anyone tell me that they will cut my taxes yet spend $850 Billion on a bailout bill for those who made poor financial decisions and those that profited millions from those bad decisions? How can they tell me they will cut my taxes yet create a universal health care monstronsity? My constitution does not "entitle" me to health care, abortion, paying my mortage or anything else paid for by the government. It provides me the opportunity to pursue what I can. I believe we just mortaged my sons future. I'm ticked. I am disappointed. I am frustrated.

October 3, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Jerry Gruber

My representative voted no against the bailout, I live in Iowa, and my representative is Steve King. I am VERY proud of his vote, because I am very ashamed that this congress allowed Wall St. to control it. It is like the tail wagging the dog, we should have let Wall St. clean up it's own mess. Now, mark my words, everytime Wall St. gets in trouble where will they go? The US Government. Time will tell, but I think it is a very sad day here in US.

October 3, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Proud to be an American

Here is the congresstional website showing votes by state http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=681&chamber=H&congress=1102

October 3, 2008 at 2:38 pm

My Rep voted NO and he WILL have my FULL SUPPORT at the polls. I can not say the same for either Frick or Frack in the Presidential Elections (both voted YEA). I thought McCain had more sense. Q: How do they sleep at night ? A: On a "850 billion" pillow of taxpayers money.

are you going to break it down as to who is from what state?
