Another day, another bailout

So AIG is getting ANOTHER bailout from the Treasury Department. OK, it may not be another one, but just a restructure of the original one. As I have stated earlier on these pages, I thought the cornerstone of the Republican/Conservative ideal was less government, free-market, yadda yadda yadda. Yea, right.

Up next on the bail-out list will be the auto industry. I'm sure the line of companies/industries with their hand out is a long one. Way to stick up for your principles, righties. You have become very good at rationalizing these breaks from conservative tenants.

The point is that your yadda yadda comment is correct and it is what has this conservative so p----d off. These are not conservative actions. These are rewards for risky behavior.

They are not the party you think they are, to paraphrase a paraphrasable. If they really were what they claim to be (against big federal government and in against policies that interfere with citizens' lives), then I'd be a Republican again. But they're just not.

No or yes; they are not the party they are supposed to be.

And I admit President Bush has not been "(against big federal government and in against policies that interfere with citizens' lives)...."
