Pearce among those keeping Washington from approving bailout

Started by nmindependent · 9 months ago

On Thursday afternoon, the president and many congressional leaders sounded confident that they had a deal in place on a proposed bailout to stabilize the economy. But by Thursday evening, it was clear that no deal was in place, largely because a group of conservative Republicans are rejecting ... Continue reading »

    Congressman Pearce can care less about the middle class and credit predators. Steve Pearce cast yet another vote that put the interests of the privileged few over those of the middle class, voting against a bill to crack down on deceptive, abusive, and unfair practices by credit card companies. Congressman Tom Udall and Congresswoman Heather Wilson both voted to pass the bill.

    Pearce is anti-family when it comes to the economy. He is afraid his rich buddies might suffer!

    Gee, how surprising. Pearce was part of the gang that caused this problem. Why would he want to fix it?

    ARIZONA VOTED AGAINST MCCAIN

    I love the fact that John McCain blames the vote going against the bailout on Obama. But there is an interesting fact out there. ALL the representatives from Arizona voted against the bailout? It just shows how much the other reps from AZ respect McCain. If he can't get the republicans from his home state to vote with him how is he going to get the rest of the nation to work with him. Maybe they are angry because while McCain brags that in 26 years he has never done anything for his home state, they are all stuck working for the people of Arizona in DC.

    ARIZONA
    Democrats — Giffords, N; Grijalva, N; Mitchell, N; Pastor, N.
    Republicans — Flake, N; Franks, N; Renzi, N; Shadegg, N.

    When the vast majority of American Taxpayers are saying NO to this Bailout it appears that only Pearce has heard. Let the Free Market correct it's self. Plus all the prior attempts to fixes the meltdown to date has totaled almost 900 billion and still has not worked. So now add another 700 billion for the Bailout. NO should be NO.

    Hemingway you just spout partisan rhetoric....you have no basis for the comment. I don't like Pearce either, but your partisan attacks are baseless and tiresome.
