looks like nobody has any clue or faith this will or won't work.  If it doesn't we're totally fucked I've heard several say we're totally fucked either way.

This guy is fundamentally stupid.  Again, mixes a few good points to gain credibility then claims the world will be better off if the US "economy collapses".

Hey, you want to let the US economy collapse NO PROBLEM, but to think the world economy will better off because of it, is to completely ignore macro economics. 

Don't give me more BS about how 20 years from now the world economy will be better either (for the collapse), that is Nostradamus type stupidity.

I say the only measure I would vote "yes" on is the one Newt Gingrich talks about.

Some of his opinions are accurate, bailing out the way it is currently proposed is stupid. 

The world being better for American economic collapse is plain ignorant.

Read and comprehend. 

I am not in favor of this bailout as proposed, it is a band-aid.

Why do you favour an aggressive interventionist foreign policy then?

OMG are you for real stud?  Seriously, I am only for "aggressive interventionist foreign policy" as a last resort.

Damn, need I explain everything?  Quit reading what you want to believe.

During the debate, I could have sworn I heard Mccain commit to voting for it. Yes I know I definitely did
Infact, I thought Obama actually stepped in to save Mccain when he jumped in to say 'neither one of us have seen the wording on this...", ...yet despite that professional courtesy, Mccain still stepped in it and committed to it. 

After all the hoopla of rushing back to Washington to save the country, he doesn't even vote on it?
After having committed himself to doing so ?  McCain has a bit of a credibility issue with this one I'd say  :-\

didn't he say that the bailout would make it worse than just letting the dollar collapse?  Our choice is bailout or no bailout.  If he's right about the bailout making it worse and many are saying that, how is he ignorant to point out that it's better to have no bailout over bailout and harder crash?

Because he doesn't realize the bailout is simply an opportunity for certain cronies to get their ducks in a row,
and get their golden parachutes before exitting. It's also an attempt to be thorough. Like any thorough burglar, after pilfering your safe, they then head towards your couch, and make sure they get any loose change that might have fallen out of your pockets. A last ditch attempt to suck as much money out of the system and pick the pennies and other loose change they can find. It's not so much about bailing out wall street. It's about a realization that the party is over, ...and not enough cronies 'got theirs'

Of course they're not voting. They're afraid to pick a side. They don't know yet if voters are against or for it so by not voting they're trying to see which way to fall before "telling" us what their "belief" on the issue is.

I don't think they should be voting on this now.  a couple weeks to hear from more people and make sure the plan is absolutely correct is way better than rushing a plan where the outcome can fuck us either way.  I thought we learned this lesson from the patriot act but I guess not...  It's not just these two sucking for not voting, it's majority of both parties sucking.

I get the sense that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't want this bailout. Isnt that who this peopl should be listening to?

I agree with both of the preceding statements. Both parties got us here and both parties are fucking us. The democrats fear that if they do nothing then they wont get re-elected so even though they dont need the repubs name on the bill, they feel they have to get them on it so if it blows up in their face it wont be just them out to dry and the repubs who also didnt do jack about this for years are trying to polish a turd.

I think most people want three things.  1. identify the problem's pathway and pass the correct laws and reforms to eliminate the problem from happening.  2. take a few weeks to make sure the adjustment made is the correct one. 3. put some accountability in place for these corporations--we have to pay a price when we fuck up, they should too, especially since a corporation is a "person" and all ::) lol.

Yeah, I just heard it. He says "Yes" twice to the question of will you support the bailout, but it's really quick and it's so obvious he doesn't look like he knows what he's saying yes to, so he changes the subject and actually had the balls to say that he warned us about Fannie and Freddie! Thats is an out right lie. He never said anything of the sort, ever. What integrity.

Gain credibility? hahahaha The guy is light years ahead of everyone when it comes down to this situation. He 's been predicting this for years and has videos up on youtube to back him from 2006, during that time his colleges laughed at him on TV shows. Seriously, they laughed in his face. If I was him I'd be reminding them ever 5 seconds who was right, he's even modest enough not to do just that.
