1. But, did you notice who the frontmen are for this?
Issa was on Ed and another wingnut was on Dylan Rattigan.
THEY are going to take credit for "fixing" the mess they allowed to be created.
And the Dems stand idly by...gathering votes to tax the middle class.

What the FUCK is going on???Do we WANT to lose?

2. I would expect to hear from Alan Grayson and Barney Frank on this.
They are no fans of the bailout.

3. It's hard to have 60 votes and have to explain to your base why they're getting screwed
It's easier if you have more of the other party in there. :)

5. Oh, we understand it.
There really is only one "party" with one set of Wall Street interests. Gridlock keeps them from having to placate the bases that they misinform and mislead. 60 seats scared the crap out of them. I wonder if they're going to let the naked GOP guy win in Massachusetts over the Dem; Obama's not going out there to help.

6. Sometimes you have to do what's right no matter who wins or loses. In this
instance, I actually think I'd be willing to risk that rather than let this type of situation continue. I don't WANT to lose, but this is just plain wrong.
