1. the people on CNBC aren't all that happy with the bailout stuff...
I was alittle surprised about that since they have an over abbundance of conservatives on staff...

The commentators are making snide remarks aimed at Paulson, not at the usual suspects like Sen Dodd or Barney Frank...

3. It's the brutal refutation of their central ideology.
The worst thing that ever happened to the Republicans was to win power. Now their military ideas have been discredited in Iraq, their small-government ideas have been discredited in New Orleans, and their financial and regulatory ideas have been discredited on Wall Street. They have nothing left but gay marriage.

4. Not likely becasue the Dems have not hung it around the GOP / Conservative idealogues' necks
Not likely becasue the Dems have not hung it around the GOP / Conservative idealogues' necks.

The bottom line is that the entire GOP/Conservative economic policy platform has been proven again to be a complete disaster, a miserable failure and has cost the American people Trillions in debt and has destroyed the American Dream.

If the Dems can make the above line stick on the GOP then it will be the tipping point. Don't hold your breath.
