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!!!!
