Hurry up and Wait

In President Bush's radio address today he said that this bailout (you remember that little $800 billion package that had to be approved the day Secretary Paulson requested it...oops, well how about by the end of the weekend at the latest...oops, well how about by the end of the next week for sure) will take time to implement. So if that's true then why was it so important for this huge bill to be passed with very little discussion, discretion, or scruples? He also stated that, "The Federal government will undertake this rescue plan at a careful and deliberate pace to ensure that your tax dollars are spent wisely." I wish that tact was used for passing this bill as well. But I guess the government has our money now so what can we do? Well...how about we REMEMBER THIS! I am not, nor do I advocate a one issue decision when choosing who I vote for, but we now need to look beyond our pet issues and look at how these politicians will safeguard us for the long term and whether they have the character and strength to follow through. We don't need wussies in government anymore. We need people with backbones! So remember this when we vote. Who got us to the brink...how ramrodded this bill through...who kowtowed to pressure? Then ask yourself, who allowed them to?
