well i'm also not one for whom the phrase "getting the government off our backs" sums of what's wrong with the world.

That said, there's far too much marginalization between the left and libertarian camps. The left should begin to see a comrad in arms against government/corporate collusion which is the very definition of fascism, and get over the scary words like "free market'

I was just kidding(in the voice of the Poltergiest little lady way).

He seems like he'd be fun to get drunk with. In a COMPLETELY plutonic(sp?) relationship of course. I bet he talks some funny shit.

So - no research of mine - but a judicious link from another friend brings out this small gem of policy from the GOP.

Rebuilding Home Ownership

"At the same time, government action must not implicitly encourage anyone to borrow more than they can afford to repay. We support energetic federal investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution of criminal wrongdoing in the mortgage industry and investment sector. We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all."

So - about that 700 billion.

Your party says one thing - your President asks for another - and Palin just babbles about Putin.

LOL at the new, improved scam email :

Dear Madame/Sir:
Compliments of the day. I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion USD. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, lobbyist for UBS, who (God willing) will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a former U.S. congressional leader and the architect of the PALIN / McCain Financial Doctrine, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. As such, you can be assured that this transaction is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully in the Name of God,
Minister of Treasury Paulson

I can totally see him wearing some kind of leather get up, no?

Third word needs to be edited to read "higheverythingd". Use your imagination. LOOK it's a new word.

Kucinich says no to the Bail-Out Bill.

Interesting reading indeed...

Interesting times. Even before the bailout - sorry, rescue plan - was rejected.

The BBC's Robert Peston makes me want to get out the razor blades sometimes.
