House Republicans revolt

Last night House Democrats had enough votes in the House to pass the bailout. However, before moving forward Speaker Pelosi wanted most of the House Republicans to sign on before voting. Now it seems she's changed her mind and is ready to hold a vote with or without House Republican support. There appears to be enough votes in the Senate though rumors are circulating that McCain may lead a filibuster to halt the bill before it goes to President Bush for his signature...Calls into Congress are 100 to 1 AGAINST passing the $700 billion bailout. The support of the people is what's driving House Republicans to hold out for a better, more thoughtful, less government laiden package...Speaking of government, if the bailout passes in its current form the Secretary of the Treasury becomes "Finance Czar" and is not held accountable by any one in the government. Furthermore, the decisions he makes would be "beyond" judicial review. Anti-federalists must be spinning in their graves! Tonight's debate is still "up in the air' but Ole' Miss officials are now saying that if McCain does not show up Barack Obama will hold a 90 minute town hall meeting in front of 40 million Americans.

There are 39 days until the presidential election. There are 115 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 2,769 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
