Not Sure

Wayne: I'm not attacking you, just pissed off about this. Either we are a capitalist nation or we're not. The consequences of compromising the very principles that govern our economy are much greater than those tied to the failure of a couple of failing companies.

I agree that we need to figure out a path and not just take what's convenient.

But if you want to be capalists then tell the freaking Democrats to stop trying to impose wind-fall taxes on oil.

Damn, that made me sound way different than I am.


FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK! Georgia down 24-0!

Is the proposed bailout an example of fascism or elitist socialism?

I'd like to hear how you small government "conservatives" are selling this to yourselves. I constantly hear people talking about socialism and Marxism being the cornerstone of the Democratic party, then I hear Bush telling us we need to give companies billions.

Please help me understand.

bush is not a conservative....he`s a republican...just like john mclame...

so really why do we waste our time fecking talking about it?

Just for clarification, I was referring to the debates over Democrats and Republicans here. To me, it's such a waste of time because they are separated by such a razor thin line when it comes down to it.

Discussions about this bailout and other specific actions are very healthy. As long as it doesn't fall into the "Dem said/Rep said" two-step.... which it ALWAYS seems to do here.

This has been a good thread overall, though, even if it was started with a sharp stick.
