Can we just let the anti-bailout mood on both sides work first, and point those well-justified fingers at the Rats later?
I talked to some Rats at the office today, got them good and stoked up about "I hate corporate welfare just like you" and sent 'em off to call Washington.
I don't think I would have done quite as well if I'd spent half an hour telling them the whole mess was their fault.
Many of the people who are squawking the loudest about this crisis are those in congress who helped to bring it about. They are seeking to tie the McCain-Palin ticket to this 'Republican authored/Bush-administration-caused' tragedy, and we cannot allow that to happen.
Many of these criminals are up for re-election as well, and we need to get the word out that, while the country in sinking into an economic quicksand that was of their making, they continue to have as their first priority the amassing of political power and the setting in place of an ideological agenda. If we don't, they will continue to call the shots and, bailout or no bailout, there will be no reform or excising of the entrenched corruption that got us into this travesty in the first place.
