It sucks that DU cannot revel in one of the lowest Republican treacheries ever

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

On the long list of times Republicans in the House have sought to destroy America in the service of an ideology of petulance, threatening to scuttle the bail-out is fairly high up.

But since their position is closer to the DU stance (on average) than are the views of our candidates and party leaders there's barely a recognition of how dastardly their behavior this week has been.

Wing-nuts put ideology over real-world effects. That is how we got deregulated in the first place!



(And please don't anybody try to say the revised bill is a whole different thing. It's the same basic idea with some political cover added. I support the revised bill because I generally supported the underlying idea of the legislative outline. If I objected to the bail-out on conceptual grounds the revisions wouldn't change my mind.)

This is clearly another "PATRIOT ACT" born from ANOTHER black hat operation.
