LOL! Now exactly how should we translate what you just said:

One way: I can't believe we can't find a single Republican to actually blame this on! Why we can't even scream that its Bush's fault! Without having the GOP to blame and smear we are just at a loss! Even our Majority leader Harry Reid admits to "We really don't know what to do!"

OR!.........

Darn! We were SO CLOSE to sneaking socialism down the throats of America, we pimped out the poor and low income with EVERY entitlement programs we could think of, even having to search out for people to place on food stamps! How did we miss the idea that literally giving them a home, we forgot to tell them they would actually have to pay for it, and THEN we allowed people to try to get rich quick on real estate and it blew up in our faces!

If we call for a full investigation and march all these CEOs up, or ask for independent counsel then too many people will find out what was really going on! We want to wait until the election is over, but it would be too late, and then it will be so bad they will demand investigations and we will loose the majority forever!

Who EXACTLY would get the $7 BILLION tax payer dollars?

Some interesting LINKS:

After sucessful lobbying, U.S. weighs bailout of foreign banks too.

Exclusive: Foreign banks may get help.

They also are not telling you (actually people are.. but it not who people on the left will admit to hearing it from) that Democrats from Carter and Clinton, and their administrations before and after office manipulated the system.

That while Democrats were in the minority, fillabustered or blocked legislation for regulation on Fannie and Freddie, and in 06 once a majority, were killing legislation attempts in committee as chairman of banking and finance, while receiving sweetheart deals themselves, and/or huge contributions.

Also not being told was Joe Biden killing America's opportunity to file for bailout (bankruptsy) with his legislation that also gave his son's lobbiest position and hedge fund operations a boost!

Sen. Dole and McCain, along with many others have been trying to pass legislation as far back as 2003 to present, and getting nothing but a brick wall from Franks, Schumer, Dodd, and other DEMOCRATS!

THIS is why we don't have a call for independent counsel, or investigation into how all these "corrupt" CEOs were able to operate as they did...

If there was not a HUGE liberal/socialist trail here leading to Democrats the coverage here would be vastly different.

Abunai, you are right about different members of Congress developing legislation to try and help prevent this mess all the way back to the early years of this Republican administration.

Even McCain developed some, but it was never brought up for a vote even though the Republicans controlled Congress for several years. I wonder why?

I realize that all of this has come to a terrible shock to you and it must feel like your whole world is crumbling at this point. The administration hasn't been vigilant in many areas. But this doesn't fit the definition of "homeland security" as far as the administration is concerned.

Now getting back to the topic.......why is it that Paulson and Bernanke don't want any questions, or "conditions" attached to the bail-outs with the exception of a clause to protect them and their cohorts.

shad -- the Feds are starting to turn over some rocks (to see what slimy little creatures scuttle out), but I seriously doubt if the whole story will ever be told to the public.

Government/Big Business = bedfellows. They won't kiss and tell.

The only certainty here:
you and I and the rest of the suckers who go to work every day and obey the laws and pay taxes -- we will pick up the check. And the people who work on Capitol Hill, along with those in the penthouse offices will, once again, be laughing all the way to the bank.

If you want to know the truth about how we got here, check out my latest blog post. I don't expect it to make it to the front page, because it is just a forwarded Email (not my own writing).
