Texas Congressman Ron Paul has warned that the amended bailout legislation that passed Congress on Friday is not only far worse than the original bill but is also unconstitutional.

Paul speaking just minutes after leaving the floor of the House on Friday, explained that the tax portion of the bill was written by the Senate, when under the Constitution only the House can originate tax bills.

“That in itself was unconstitutional but it’s been done before and it will be done again.” The Congressman said.

Paul highlighted that the passage of the bill defied logic because it was even worse than the original rejected version:

“It’s amazing, you take a very very bad bill, appropriating $700 billion, you can’t get enough votes to pass it so you take it back out, you make it much worse and take it up to over $800 billion.” Paul commented.


“Today is an even sadder day that on Monday,” Paul stated, “Here today when the special interests got their two cents in, or their $10 million worth of lobbying in, the members switched their vote.”

The Congressman decried the fact that 57 members, mostly so called conservatives, switched their votes on Friday. He urged that those who have destroyed the economy and our freedoms not be allowed to dictate how the system is rebuilt in America.

Paul also compared the economic situation to that of the Soviet Union in 1989, urging that the current economic meltdown stems from empire building foreign policy, and that we are now dealing with the bankruptcy of the United States.

Watch Ron Paul’s reaction to the passage of the bailout:


Earlier in the day Ron Paul had taken the floor in the House to express his opposition to the bailout, stating that it represents an evasion of the real problem and more of the same inflationary practices that have caused the crisis in the first instance.

STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS HE IS NOT.
By Wilgeens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg.

Take a look at Mc.Cain's unwavering stance on Iraq today compare to his hypocritical stance then on Haiti & Somalia. Did Haiti & Somalia not deserve the very same unwavering commitment for success he is showing for Iraq?

Mc.Cain claims that our staying in Iraq is until success is achieved... No problem. So why the desire for success when US Troops were in poor Black nations like Haiti and Somalia was not as strong the desires Mc.Cain himself wishes to see in Iraq today? How about the wrongful foreign policies the US have towards other American nations in the Latin Americas in our very own hemisphere, needless to even mention the situation in Darfur, Africa...? Talking about flip flopping and double talk... but a Straight talk express he is not.

Take a look at these videos and you be the judge of what Mc. Cain real call of judgement is.

Some "straight talk" huh? Yeah right... Sounds more like "Double Talk" of usual politics to me. In other words, sounds like "More Of The Same" to me. Do you not think so?

As a US Soldier, a 2 times Iraq Veteran and a US Citizen, I would like to get some answers before I cast my Ballot.

Afro,

Normally I would not get involved in this particular discussion as you have mixed politics with the military operations of both Somilia and Haiti. I was a contractor to the LOGCAP contract holder in Haiti and spent 10 months there. In both instances the U.S. troops were wearing the UN Blue Beret. That means that they were not under direct command of the U.S. Government during those periods but rather under direction of the United Nations Peace Keeping Force that was incharge of the operations of both missions. The U.S. had no way to define scope, special needs, or assistance given to the host country because when a country "donates" its military force to a UN "peacekeeping Mission" you also give up direct command. Food for thought.

On another note, during my time in Haiti I found the people to be genuine and hard working, the problem there is not so much the government but the Super rich 7 or 8 families that control most of the economy in the country by ownership of port operations, Supermarkets, truck lines etc.
