The information provided in this recent article should remove any doubts from the minds of Virginia voters that their state's prominent Democrats, including Warner, are up to no good. If this fraudulent activity is for the benefit of the Obama campaign, it could end up backfiring on election day with polls still showing that McCain can compete here.

Congressman McNerney has supported both versions of the Wall Street bailout bill (see here and here). It's probably too late at this point for him and most of his fellow Democrats to convince voters that they are still trustworthy with their tax dollars when it's been feared all along that this measure would bring on another Great Depression as well as some finishing touches to Bush's overall agenda.

Congressman Doolittle won't have to take the blame for the Wall Street bailout's passage since he voted against it and probably helped redeem this seat for his party. In fact, Democrats will have more explaining to do, and they could never be expected to oppose this or most other bills that have called for massive spending of taxpayer dollars throughout Bush's term.

Giffords has voted for the most recent version of the Wall Street bailout bill. Both party platforms called for supporting it, but Democrats have ended up supporting it in higher numbers than Republicans. It's not necessarily certain that Bee would have opposed this spending, so voters are fortunate to have more than just these two candidates on the ballot. What's clearer than ever with the outcome is that Giffords must be removed from office.

1 point

Congressman Young has joined many of his fellow Republicans in voting against both versions of the Wall Street bailout bill (see here and here). It will be difficult for Berkowitz and most other Democrats to convince voters that they as a party will act quickly to reverse this spending when left-wing liberals are notorious for taxing and spending.

Congressman Cramer, the current incumbent of this seat and a Democrat, has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout. That doesn't make Parker a great choice, but he seems to be the only alternative to Griffith who will now have to make excuses on Cramer's behalf if he wants his party to hold the seat.

1 point

Congressman Rogers has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout, which was a bipartisan effort and therefore not necessarily a reason to support Segall wholeheartedly. It should also be noted that there is an independent candidate running for this seat who may end up being the best choice, if for no other reason, to challenge corporate control by the two-party system.

Congressman Thompson has joined the majority of the House by breaching the Constitution with his vote on the revised Wall Street bailout bill. Starkewolf would certainly never approve of such spending after stating his awareness that the value of the dollar has already gone down with the war in Iraq even though he has supported this part of Bush's agenda.

1 point

Senator Reed has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout bill, which most senators from both major parties are also guilty of. However, most of the votes against it also came from Republicans and they have helped stall it in the House. Tingle also seems to be voters' only alternative, so if this measure passes, they should warn him to support overturning it immediately.

1 point

It comes as no surprise that Senator Kerry, being the elite that he is, just supported the revised Wall Street bailout bill and will continue to bankrupt the people of Massachusetts. Conservative voters might give Beatty higher ratings than he deserves, but he seems to be the best choice on the ballot for them to support. They will find out soon enough if Beatty is much different once he is in office.

Voters understandably may be unhappy with Senator Coleman's support of the Bush administration, especially by his vote for the revised Wall Street bailout, but should also take note of the fact that Al Gore endorses Franken. It's been stated many times (which you can search on any popular search engine) that whoever is endorsed by Gore always ends up losing.

1 point

Senator Rockefeller has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout bill and thereby given in to the Bush administration's whims. This is not surprising when one looks at higher taxes and more spending as being among the core principles that liberal Democrats embrace. Wolfe's stances sound good for voters who want to get this under control, but it's their responsibility to see that he follows through on these.

1 point

Voters now have another reason to elect Conley with Senator Graham's vote for the revised Wall Street bailout bill. The bill doesn't seem all that popular after having its original version rejected by the House, and it still amounts to the same wasteful spending no matter what. By being a Ron Paul supporter that's willing to cross party lines, Conley sets a great example for other Democrats.

1 point

Senator Inhofe voted against the revised Wall Street bailout bill as a step toward restoring the conservative principles of his party. But voters need to keep up the pressure on him to cut this and other wasteful spending, and Rice is probably even less trustworthy for that purpose. Oklahoma's ballot access laws have made it difficult for any candidates not Democrat or Republican to have a voice.

1 point

Senator Lautenberg should be held accountable for supporting the revised Wall Street bailout bill that took the votes of House Republicans to be delayed and will hopefully die in Congress. Bush's spending decisions have mostly been helped by Democrats, who had plenty of incentive throughout his tenure to prove that they can reverse his policies.

1 point

Senator Baucus has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout and it's not a guarantee that Kelleher would have done differently. However, this is a unique opportunity for voters to hold Baucus and many other Democrats accountable for not leading the way in opposing this and other massive spending that's promoted by the Bush administration.

1 point

Senator McConnell will need to be ready to explain his vote for the revised Wall Street bailout bill even if this doesn't put him in danger of losing his seat. There's also no telling what Lunsford would have done if he were in office right now; we can only speculate and any claims he makes are basically empty. The bill has yet to pass and McConnell is the one with the most responsibility toward his constituents for what happens.

1 point

Senator Roberts is one out of only a handful to vote against the revised Wall Street bailout bill, probably a result of his constituents warning him about what would happen otherwise. But voters should keep up pressure on incumbents to oppose it until it dies in Congress and the Bush administration is denied any more opportunities like this for wasteful spending.

Senator Harkin has just voted for the revised Wall Street bailout bill. If Iowans want to remove him from office just for this one issue, Reed may be their only opportunity to do it despite his flaws. Voters can warn him now to take heed of what will result if he wins this seat only to continue this wasteful spending while in office.

1 point

Senator Collins just voted for the revised Wall Street bailout bill. The party platforms call for virtually every member of Congress to support it, so Allen shouldn't be too confident that this will work in the Democrats' favor. Not being the incumbent only serves to put him in a more comfortable spot than Collins.

0 points

Senator Durbin has voted for the revised Wall Street bailout bill, and all of its supporters should be held accountable. Sauerberg predictably claims he would have voted against it and there is no way of knowing yet whether he is telling the truth. The only thing that's clear is that someone needs to replace Durbin for this vote regardless of the bill's final outcome.

1 point

Senator Pryor has caved in to pressure to support the revised Wall Street bailout bill and, if it passes, should take the blame with everyone else who has voted for it so far. Voters may not agree with Kennedy on every issue, but are sure to see her as an improvement if she ends up being the only other choice on this ballot entry. It would be hard to prove that she is given to corporate interests like Wall Street.

1 point

Thankfully, this race won't be limited to the two major parties. But excluding everyone else, voting against Stevens is not necessarily a good move regardless of how unpopular he may be for issues that get a lot of attention like his indictment or his support of the revised Wall Street bailout. Begich is endorsed by Wesley Clark who has no congressional experience.

1 point

Senator Wicker is one of a handful of Republicans to oppose the revised Wall Street bailout. His constituents most likely had to put great pressure on him to make this move, and they should not assume the best about him or any other elected official. This is just one step toward returning the Republicans to fiscal discipline.
