Who to vote for based on Bailout?

I understand both McCain and Obama voted for the Bailout. Who else is there to vote for.

We really need some new people in Washington DC. They are supposed to be experts but are only looking out for themselves.

    Bob Barr....granted he ws a former Congressman (Libertarian candidate currently) but he's against it all the way..

    "When do Americans, who have been responsible with their money—that is, who haven’t bought too much house and didn’t think the good times would never end—get a break? Sen. McCain, Sen. Barack Obama and the other members of Congress who have supported one bailout after another have turned fiscal responsibility into a sucker’s game. It is time for someone to speak up for those who play by the rules and pay the nation’s bills" - Bob Barr

    Where have you been? All politicians these days seem to look out for themselves.

    It is funny how the Republicans have been yelling that the government will not help out troubled homeowners because this is their own problem. But weeks away from elections they are saying we will buy up their home loans to help them out.

    Since both the major candidates voted for this "bail out" with OUR taxpayer monies, and this "bail out" also included pork (as usual I might add), perhaps it is time to seriously look over our third party candidates!!!!
