Aah yes, the amnesty bill which was also an emergency. The one which was sure to bring our entire country to a halt if it didn’t pass that very weekend. The one that didn’t pass and, yet SOMEHOW, the country has gone on.

Yep! That's right! Everybody remembers it painfully well! This $700 billion heist has all the tactics used on a cheap used car lot. How many times have we heard from some turd trying to sell us something that it was IMPORTANT that we buy something NOW?!...otherwise bad things are going to happen! How many times have we heard that this deal is only going to be here for a short while?! What's going on in D.C. right now is riddled with F.U.D. Those who do speak with reason, sanity, and restraint are ridiculed as being everything from crazy, to unpatriotic!

The longer the nation runs without their stinking bailout, the worse they look. A few weeks ago, I didn't think it was possible for them to look any worse, but this bailout proposal has disproven me!

If if the bailout does bring us to our knees, then that's what we'll go through. The alternative is that the left finally secures the power that it's been salivating over for a long time. It's so close, they can "smell" it. They can NOT be permitted to get away with this.

That was exactly the analogy I used to explain the situation to Mrs. Thinking. Don't forget the Patriot Act too. "Someone flew planes into a couple buildings, quick, quick, we need to repeal the Constitution and give the goobermint more power. Right the hell Now!"

"The alternative is that the left finally secures the power that it's been salivating over for a long time. It's so close, they can "smell" it. They can NOT be permitted to get away with this."

To the Matresses, then.

Your used car analogy is spot on, right down to getting locked in a little room. Americans have been trained to be wise consumers and many, we can hope, will recognize a
phoney sales tactic when we see it.
