This is the state of our great republic: We've nationalized the financial system, taking control from Wall Street bankers we no longer trust. We're about to quasi-nationalize the Detroit auto companies via massive loans because they're a source of American pride, and too many jobs — and votes — are at stake.

Atlas Shrugged anyone?

Yeah, and most of the Democrats I know are Socially conservative and have no clue what they are voting for. Had they a better understanding of economics and not so worried about other people’s money they would be Conservative Republicans.
