Sad Day for Country

Congress Passes Housing Rescue Bill, Bush Expected to Sign

Saturday, July 26, 2008



The Massive Housing Big Government Socialism bill has passed the Senate by a tally of 72-13. Those Senators who voted in the affirmative should be ashamed of themselves. I am proud of those 13 Senators who understand that you cannot just keep bailing out people and government when they fail. When I receive the total Republicans who voted for it, I will post them. Also, those who voted in the negative will be posted too. What a sad day for our country. The only hope now is to wish that the president changes his mind on signing this bill.

Cloture Invoked in Senate for Big Government Socialism Bill

Posted by Defend America on Friday, July 25, 2008 3:27:22 PM

Massive Housing Bill Passes Key Senate Vote

Friday, July 25, 2008

WASHINGTON —  The Senate cleared the last hurdle Friday to passing a housing rescue aimed at sparing hundreds of thousands of homeowners from foreclosure and bolstering troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The 80-13 test vote showed broad support for the election-year package and put it on track to pass the Senate by Saturday. The White House says President Bush will sign it, having earlier dropped a threat to veto it over $3.9 billion in neighborhood grants.

This is disgusting. If  President Bush does sign this big government socialism bill, he should explain why he is doing this and how it will truly help taxpayers. Also, why should the government bailout businesses who gave out shaky loans and the people who took out the loans. Both knew the potential consequences. I not only will post the Republicans who have voted to invoke cloture, but I feel it is also important to mention the 13 Conservatives who voted in the negative. Those Conservatives should be commended. While this vote is only for cloture, it does look like it will pass in the Senate soon. I hope these Republicans reconsider their vote for cloture today and realize that telling no business that they could fail does not help them. Also, that people should be held responsible for their borrowing of those loans.
