The previous posting has a typo the third sentence from the last should be -
After all Mitch’s father – in – law does a very large shipping business with mainland China – a country that downed a United States surveillance airplane in April of 2001 and suffered no repercussions.

It would be interesting if there is no bail out for the for Banks and Insurance Companies that have caused this credit crisis, there is a massive sell off on Wall Street, Mitch McConnell is re-elected in November and John McCain is elected as President. All Mitch McConnell talks about is the developing economies of China and India. If these things were to happen the economies of China and India would come to a screeching halt along with the economy of the United States. I guarantee you that Mitch McConnell would say “to hell with the United States, we need to help China and India”. After all Mitch’s father – in – law does a very large shipping with mainland China – a country that downed a United States surveillance airplane in April of 2001 and suffered no repercussions. No wonder Mitch wants to screw the United States and hand a blank check with no oversight to Henry Paulson who is a former employee of Goldman Sachs, and Ben Bernanke. Un- American Mitch - bad for the United States and bad for Kentucky.

If you vote for Mitch McConnell, nothing -nothing will change in Kentucky.
The same old Bush Policies, even with Bush gone. John McCain has the same old ideas as Bush/Cheney. Do not vote for the same old thing, a man that is only interested in his rich friends. Kentucky, where is your spirit for progress. McConnell loves to deregulate the Government but loves to regulates the average public.

Call, email, write letters……..to your Rep/Senator.
Stop the bailout of the people who CAUSED THE PROBLEM!!
If you do not stop this lunacy, you will see a BIG increase in interest rates and inflation as the dollar collapses. DO NOT BUY into McConnell’s GARBAGE.

I just wanted to call your attention to this fine article by Norman Solomon. It points out what republicans, like Mitch McConnel. think about us liitle people.

” Human worth as maximized by dollars: too big to fail. Human worth as affirmed by humanistic values: too small to matter.

If a company like AIG is too big to fail, the government will rescue it. Mere people — too small to matter — are expendable.
The insurance industry is too big to fail. A person’s health is too small to matter, so — when it fails due to the absence or loopholes of insurance coverage — that’s tough luck.
Agribusiness is too big to fail. Family farmers are too dirt-small to matter.”

A Nation of village idiots:
A majority of voters rate the economy as the single most important issue. A majority of voters think Obama has a better understanding the economy than John McCain. John McCain even admitted he did not understand the economy very well. That’s why we in Kentucky are all voting for good ole John McCain. We like our politicians to be just like us - a dumb shit we can have a drink with.
Arrianna Huffington asks:
“Over the past 30 years, Americans have been bombarded with sermons evangelizing for the free market religion of the Right. In the course of selling us on buying, the market-worshippers tried to convince us that all concerns about the most vulnerable members of society could be left up to the soulless, self-correcting calculus of supply and demand. Government involvement was an anachronism, regulatory oversight an impediment. The last few weeks have demolished that notion. In the battle over the proper role of government, the high priests of the church of the Free Market — including Bush, Paulson, and the Masters of Wall Street — have suffered a monumental defeat. So why are we allowing them to dictate the terms of their surrender?”
My answer:
Because America has become a nation of village idiots. Polls show that we blame republicans, by a 2 to 1 margin, for the economic meltdown. Yet we will still vote for the dullest knife in the drawer. We don’t care that our children have no healthcare, no education, no jobs, and no future. We don’t give a shit about Bush pissing away trillions over the past eight years, leaving our grandchildren in debt up to their ass, while cutting taxes for his millionaire pals.
We always vote against those uppity folks that understand shit! Give us a good ole dumb shit who listens to god!. Our grand children don’t need a future, hell the RAPTURE IS COMING, they will soon be in heaven with JESUS!

The congress should NOT act quickly on this bailout if at all.
We need to see where the money went when these banks and insurance companies became insolvent – it did not simply disappear.
Congress and the Senate need to immediately pass legislation to block any termination bonuses received by the CEOs resigning from ANY company in the United States and nullify their contractual bonuses.
All former CEOs of Freddie Mac, Fannie May, and any other insurance or banking institutions that have become insolvent need to be automatically charged with criminal misconduct, investigated and all their assets seized.
The United States needs to suspend ALL activities with the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development needs to be disbanded immediately.
Foreign Banks should not be eligible for any part of this bailout if it happens at all.
Mitch McConnell has proven over and over again that he is NOT loyal to the United States. George Bush is low classed white trash and should never be trusted or listened to. The same goes for Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke. Contrary to what Republicans try to tell you there are NO laws on the books that force any banks to make loans to anybody. If banks were forced to make loans by law then no one would ever be turned down for a credit card, even though I don’t use one myself. We need to tell Mitch McConnell to take a permanent vacation to visit Satan as his is a liar. It will amaze me if the people of Kentucky are STUPID enough to re-elect Mitch McConnell.

some more leadership!!
Hey Mitch what about all those Pink Ipods LOL
McConnell backed a company that wanted $8.3 million
How VFH got the contract is a matter raising some skeptical eyebrows in the aid community. When the two founders needed to sell their idea to the federal government, they turned to a lobbying group run by Hunter Bates, the former chief of staff to Senator Mitch McConnell. McConnell, it turns out, chairs the senate subcommittee that controls the money allocated to USAID
