    Default Wildly unpopular bailout?

    The American people aren't against the bailout.

    EXTREMISTS. both right and left, are against the bailout. It's just that an obsessed extremist is far more likely to call their representative.

    Let's look at the facts. Who here opposes the plan?

    RS, Dano, AssHat, theMAJORITY, Cypress

    Who supports it?

    Onceler, SF, WM, IB1


    Which crowd is more extreme? The only person who's really moderate and against the bailout on here is LadyT.

    And I assure you, there are a lot more moderates in the American public, who don't drop everything and call their rep. the first time they hear the news.


    Polls reflect this. The American public is not wildly against this, as some would have you believe. They are divided. Most polls have support for the plan slightly greater than opposition. The people who say "999% of the country is against this!" are simply not telling the truth. So where did it come from? Straight out of the extremists ass. And dittoheads go around and swallow it. You don't want to swallow stuff from their ass.

    (Plagiarizing Franken BTW)

    Shut up you idiot. Only people who support this tripe are morons who don't understand it, like Cypress, and people who stand to profit from it, like Congressmen and their buddies at the bank.

    You're a fucking tool and you've proven in the last few days just how ignorant you are.

    I forgot to mention you, Mr. Moderate. Never has a person come up and proven my point better than this.

    What's the latest conspiracy? I haven't been keeping up, but the moon landing was totally fake.

    I am against the bailout.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    Waterdork is totally clueless. He actually believes having the government buy bad debt for more than it's worth will be good for the country. He thinks rewarding investors for making bad decisions is going to save the average joe somehow. He buys any and all rhetoric from the very people who will profit from this bullshit plan. Totally clueless is a nice way to put it.

    Nice try. we all know a huge reason why nobody voted it in last time was bvecause 9 out of ten calls they got were agains the bail out.

    feeling deseperate enough to lie---I see you.
    Jimmy Carter had the lowest % of people in his administration with any business exp at all @ 32%. Obama has 8% of his administration with any business exp at all. I have more business exp out of my one car garage than at least 92% of the obama administration.

    The Government reciently said they would give tax breaks to small and med sized business so they can try to grow and hire--too bad it was not the USA, but China who reciently announced that.

    You need to apologize to your kids.
