I suspect one motivation of the anti-bailout crowd is that they want the economy to fail in order to punish the general public for not supporting their “true conservative” saints (i.e Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, & Alan Keyes).
My first impression was that they can't decipher the why and the how, so they revert to mantra which is considered to be THE morality. It's as much a religion on the right as liberalism on the left.
One thing I know for sure is that Politics ain't no damn religion! It ain't hope, and it ain't dreams. It won't feed your kids, or keep you dry. It won't prolong your life, or kill you.
I can revert to reality in seconds, and some cannot. I believe that I keep one foot in both worlds at all times.
