I'm holding my applause until we get a hold of the fine print.

Precious little is available on details, but what there is looks alright, possibly even good.

It's essentially the Senate bill that Republicans successfully filibustered, with the Shelbyite union-killer parts made non-binding.

I wish they'd stop using the term "bailout" for this.

But one thing the Dems have shown they suck at, is their "message". They have no idea how to frame anything, where the GOP would've been calling this a "loan" for months if the roles were reversed.



ps: while I understand you holding your applause, but why'd you hold your upvote on this video?

Except for Iraq, Bush is a liberal and spent like one all 8 years. He "sacrificed free market principles" to preserve the same socialist takeover that's killing the free market.

And you kissed his ass the entire time, up until McCain lost.

Who are you trying to kid?

@QM: So starting wars is conservative? If so, that seems like the kind of behavior the conservatives would want to DISTANCE themselves from.

Yeah, i don't consider the wars a conservative thing in the least. Bush is a lousy conservative. Conservatives should cut taxes, but also cut spending. Fail. Conservatives should be corporate friendly, but not give corporate welfare. Fail. Conservatives should support national defense, but not offensive wars and nation building. Fail. Conservatives should not be pushing moral law (drug war, anti-abortion, etc) at the federal level. Fail. Conservatives should not pass abominations like No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act or Real ID. Fail.

Bush is a bad liberal and a worse conservative. I don't know why people don't see this.

I've got plenty of negative commentary on Bush's liberal actions. But here on liberalsift, we're not discussing policy, it's me vs. upvoted lies and gross distortions about the man's character. Liberals have no chance in a fair fight so they attack the messenger, never the facts.

Considering the two dickheads the libtards ran against Bush, we still got the lesser of two evils. That's right, mofo. Read that sentence again.

There's no point arguing the Bush legacy with liberals. They hate the "evil Bush" mass media-creation as much as they love the Obama-as-savior.

Bush will be considered a better President than the Obamessiah.

Obama isn't a failed conservative he's a liberal ideologue aka marxist weenie. What's good to him is poison for America.

Whether there had been bailouts or not, half the country now expects the government to change their diapers. Fk 'em.

Moving this video to volumptuous's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
