Poll question: Should we really bail out Wall Street to the tune of hundreds of billions?
The more I read about the nature of the bailout, and the demand by Paulsen for NO conditions on the money given, the less of a good idea it sounds like, and the more it sounds like we should be using those Halliburton built concentration camps and Gitmo for the corporate execs who profited from building them.

If forced to give to choose between the two, which would you give Wall Street, a blank check that is already bigger than our defense budget or Gitmo?

I would prefer Gitmo with all the humiliating stuff the Bushies get off on still in place for poetic justice, but that's me. It would be enough if the Wall Street execs were in orange jumpsuits in dog kennels in the hot sun all day for the rest of their lives too, or at least until the give up their Cayman Island and Seychelles account numbers and we recover the money they stole.

1. After all, those greedy executives are nothing but financial terrorists
and Gitmo would be a perfect place for them.

2. 2 Choices missing...
1) WE THE PEOPLE
2) None of the above.
