I don't know if you know this or not, but Free Republic is not a forum for whining socialists like you.
Most of those of us who opposed this bill have done so on principle, knowing that our own 401k's and investments might be better served in the short run by this bailout.
The idea of principle is that you do what is right and if it causes you pain, then so be it. McCain was stupid to claim victory for a bill that he should have known (if he had any political sense at all) would go down in flames.
There are morons on this forum for sure. But they are not the right wing nuts. They are the whining socialist wanna be's who think that the government is the answer to all their problems.
Be Gone Troll.
Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning.” —Andrew Jackson
That’s what I am saying. You have elected President Obama. You are a useful idiot is what you are. You have created the circumstances for a total socialist takeover of the organs of government, and yet you still think that I am the socialist. You really couldn’t be a more perfect idiot. And of course you have no understanding of the Republican Treasury’s bill in the first place. Yer just agin it!
Jim Robinson, you can ban me if you choose, but you know I have been here a long time and am a loyal Republican. But I cannot stand by while we shoot ourselves in the head. I am expressing my opinions, perhaps with some non-obscene name calling, but trying to show people the consequences of not understanding either the thing they oppose, or the consequences of their opposition to it. This election is over now, you guys got Obama elected, and I hope you see that is what you have done. If you don’t then think it through again, because that is what happened.
