As Bush Admin Pushes $700B for Wall Street, Ralph Nader Asks, “Why Is There Need for a Bailout?”
RALPH NADER: Well, I think Senator McCain is showboating. I mean, what’s going on in Washington and Congress now is the Bush administration is trying to pull the Constitution out by its roots and demand that Congress give it a blank check, without any criteria, without any accountability, for $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. It’s not dependent on whether John McCain returns to Washington other than to vote. I think he’s turning his back on over 50 million American voters who expect him to show up in Ole Miss with Barack Obama and who have made arrangements to do so. He talks a lot about honor and commitment. I think he ought to change his mind and get down to Ole Miss.

1. I agree with Nader, but Ralph would be stupid to take the other position
so it's not surprising.

2. Look At What Naomi
Has said. Read the book "Confiscation of American Prosperity"

Once this is passed, then the next thing will be Social Security.

4. The constitution is history. We are living the life that we richly
deserve. Enjoy it now because it will go the way of the constitution in about two weeks!
