Dow Tumbles: Remember the Bailout Vote Switchers

Written by Christopher S. Bentley
Wednesday, 22 October 2008 10:53

Bailout fever is spreading across the globe in Beijing, Pakistan, Switzerland, Korea, Ukraine, Iceland, and the Middle East, to name the most recent countries and areas to be plundered by the plutocratic class and forced to prop up bad assets.

Fed Chairman Bernanke is now stumping for another bailout shakedown so that middle class and poor Americans can continue to protect the fortunes of the people who made this mess to begin with through more inflationary spending.

But lets consider one thought: if the Wall Street Journal was correct, that the "Rescue May Not Revive [the] Economy," then why add trillions of dollars to the national debt to begin with? And why add more?

Americans who understand the Constitution, the proper role of government, and free market economics, already know the answer to that question.

But for our fellow citizens who are beginning to see, that no matter how many bailouts are rammed through, and that the adjustment in the market will take place regardless of the fearmongering statements of predatory investors, politicians and banksters who blithely claim the laws of economics don't matter in today's world, they might want the names and numbers of their representatives who folded under false pressure and betrayed their constituents.

What follows is a list of Congressmen who changed their votes during the first round of plunder. Most claim the bailout was better served by the changes made to the bill which were mostly sweeteners, more commonly called pork.

Just scroll down below to your state to see which representatives changed their minds.

And let them feel the full weight of your dissatisfaction at the ballot box on election day.

In Texas, the districts are so gerrymandered that the seats rarely change hands.

Most are safe GOP seats. Ironically, the only one who is always challenged, even from within the GOP itself, is Dr. Ron Paul. The Bush Crime Family has been trying to destroy him for at least the last 20 years.

The bailout vote was a charade anyhow. The executive branch made clear to the "peanut gallery" (more appropriate name for the U.S. House) that they could either "get it right" on the "do-over" or have to explain to everyone why they had just triggered a declaration of martial law.
