Barney Frank and other DUmmies tried force, then switched to bribery by using the US taxpayers wallets to cover the bank loses.
The GM fast bailout crammed down stock holders and bond holders; while rescuing the Union thugs. Violating US Bankruptcy laws.
The enemedia was covering up the truth.
Both of which, if we were still a Republic, wholly illegal and unconstitutional.
Worse yet, even w/ the new GOPe majority, there has been NO, none, nada, zero attempt to repeal ONE unjust law, regulation, department, agency, etc.

I’m waiting for the typical FR meme (from some) of “THIS election is the *most* important.”, “feet to the fire”, blah blah blah...
1st question to ANY candidate (establishment) should be “What have YOU done (got passed) to reduce the size of govt and restore our Rights, Liberty and Freedom?”. And, when the standard BS answer of hemming/hawing follow-up with “Are you NOT a member of Congress? Could you not have called a presser? Took the word to the People? What did YOU do instead of standing in back, silent and nodding?”.
Course, that would take a media that wasn’t in the tank already and people smart enough to ask concise, poignant questions that leave little/no ‘wiggle’ room. It for sure won’t sway the gray hairs of reflex, or the ‘pretty boy/girl’ popularity, etc...
