As long as the idiots blame it only on the Republicans, as if the Democrats had nothing to do with it.

Partisan politics has become a terminal illness.

But because all parties claimed free trade was the best policy, and the Republicans, accompanied by a few Democratic accomplices, claimed that complete deregulation of financial markets was the best policy, we will suffer their fault and misconjecturer.

It''''s up to us fellow Americans. Do we value our freedom and humanity so little that we no longer deserve them? Or will we once again stand to defend and uphold American liberty?"

I hope the Feds are going to deduct the egregious parachute package amounts and the hoop-d-do cost for the trip these morons just took from this latest insult to taxpayers. Well the fix is on and we''ve all been you know what by AIG and the Feds.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR COLLECTIVE MINDS!!!!!......The CEOs just get raked over the coals in CONGRESS yesterday about ruining their own company and p.i.s.s.i.n.g. away HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A USELESS RETREAT AT EXPENSIVE HOTELS WITH SPA TREATMENT after getting bailed out by all of us....and today, they get rewarded with $37 BILLION MORE DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO SPEND....They ought to be h.u.n.g. by their collective b.a.l.l.s. until they fall from the trees, and then FIRED with NO BONUS....Make them pay some of their own money to just try and sue the AMERICAN taxpayers to get a single BUFFALO CHIP NICKEL of their GOLDEN PARACHUTES and let them be SHAMED to their graves....The only thing we should consider giving them is all the GOLD BULLION they can personally hold in their two greedy little hands, and have them jump with that weight from a high flying plane with NO PARACHUTE....That way it will help them fall straighter, and we can pick up the gold bullion later where we find them planted in the ground!!!!

Upto1947...You say war with the CEO''s. We would be slaughtered in wholesale lots. They have Blackwater behing them and if martial law is declared our own soldiers would be killing us. Any way you look at it, were fvcked. But this is what many of you wanted in 2000 and 2004 and you want it again in 2008. Well be careful what you wish for, you may get it. BTW, I didn''t vote for the s.o.b.

My God, these fvckers are so arrogant that they no longer even to try to hide that they are sticking it to us. And the government just lets them do it. I knew when bush was pushing so hard to get this done quickly that something wasn''t kosher. Oh well, we get what we deserve. Let''s elect McCain so when he bites the big one we can have Palin. What a wonderful day that will be. Remember, you get just what you deserve. I''m so pizzed of that I don''t even care any more. Let the greedy *** have it all. They''re going to find a way to steal it anyway. I want my America back!!!!!!

It''s simply breathtaking how the private Federal Reserve can hand out billions to a private company so that they can keep their power over us while we suffer the on coming depression and oppression.

We are already living in a Guilded Age.

Our leaders in Congress was just as stupid in 1913 when they passed the Federal Reserve Act as they are today.

Think about it.

After the evil bankers engineered a financial crisis in 1907 Congress was pushed into handing over the economy to a gaggle of crooks and cronies on Wall Street and evil representatives of British interests.

Congress was told that the private Federal Reserve System will make sure that the economy will never suffer another crisis and that in case of ''emergency'' the Fed can do whatever is ''necessary'' to preserve itself which would in in turn save the economy.

Imagine that ''dynamic''!

We hand over our economic security to a bunch of evil bankers. That economic security also controls our military security because these same private banks underwrite all of the defense contractors like Raytheon and Boeing.

We have to understand this basic fact and learn who the enemy is and stop them while we still can.
