Vote the Republicans Out!
During all these years and years we lived on borrowed money. If you wanted a TV, just charge it. Now all these years of debt are beginning to wreck the world economy. I am not sure what the eventual solution is, but in the meantime we cannot just wreck the economy and cause a second Great Depression. That is why this Federal bailout package has been prepared in Congress. It does not solve the problem, but it does keep things running while we work out a better solution. If it does not pass, the markets will crash, people may lose much of their savings, corporations will not be able to get cash, unemployment will skyrocket, and many other dreadful things will happen. So surely it will pass.
But it may not, because House Republicans, self-righteous about free markets (which are not working now), are trying to block the deal. They are doing nothing less than wrecking our country. That's right, Republicans are the Party that Wrecked America and they are trying to wreck it some more. They are sacrificing the world economy for some piece of Adamsonian free-market rhetoric.
I therefore call for votes against Congressional Republicans all over the place. Do NOT vote for a Republican congressman or senator this November! Don't even vote for Roscoe Bartlett in Maryland's Sixth District, even though he knows more about Peak Oil than anyone else in Congress, unless he agrees to the Federal bailout. If your Republican candidate is unopposed, write in someone. We need at least a 60% Democratic congress so we can shut these country killers up.
As far as the Presidency is concerned, it looks very much like Obama is going to win. McCain is showing himself off to be some sort of blundering goon. He nominates a young, inexperienced small-state governor for vice president, he skips a Letterman show, allowing Letterman to lampoon McCain all over the place, and he does not want to participate in a debate. Already the polls are swinging around against him - Obama is ahead in North Carolina. Yes, vote for Obama, but I take note that perhaps McCain is not one of these right-wing free-market Congressional Republican nutjobs. He is just simply a blunderer.
