TIME TO FORGET MCCAIN AND FIGHT FOR THE FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE
I just told both of my Republican senators to piss-off. I have voted Republican all of my life but the bail-out was the last straw. They just handed a huge mass of money to the most irresponsible people they could find and are expecting the rest of us to pick up the bill. To compound the problem they did nothing to fix the underlying cause of the government insuring as many bad loans as anyone wants to write.
I am in advertising and the sub-prime guys are back in full force. They had all but disappeared but they are out there doing it all over again since they know the government is going to pick up the tab just as it promised.
If my Republican senators can't make an easy call like not allowing the government to meddle in the markets or not paying people to be irresponsible then there is really no reason to continue supporting them.
Let the Dems control everything so that only they will get the blame.
I think we are at the point where none of us is ever going to see the America we grew up in ever again and there is nothing that we can do to turn the tide. The Republican party is not the answer. It is the lesser of two evils... and the "lesser" part of the equation gets more and more insubstantial every day.
