I’m a huge Palast fan and his recent article regarding why Spitzer was so sought after by Bush is eye-popping. Evidently, he was in Washington with full intentions of outing the Bush Cabal and their high stakes in this governmental intervention on Wall St. It will all be made public now since Spitzer is so “high profile”. The fallout of this entire compaq armada 110 battery,compaq armada 110s battery economic debacle will rest fully on Bush’s shoulders once again.

You know, I don’t get mad at the administration when they say idiotic things like this. I’m mad at everyone within ear-shot of those idiotic things when they accept what they’re told without demanding a better explanation.

The neo-con (mis)governing style: Welfare for the rich, “tough love” for the poor.

All their rhetoric about “personal responsibility” vanishes into thin air when it comes to their cronies, and/or the rich and powerful.

And that infamous appendage of the Bush Crime Empire called the Carlyle Group is involved knee deep in this economic crisis. They were the rich Saudis which Pappa Bush helped to leave the country following 911. Hell, they’re probably tied into it all in some sinister way.

Of course it doesn’t make any sense. There has been nothing in 7 1/2 years that has made any sense.

Be smart, look to what you can pantry now. In 6 months it will be worse. Much worse. Prepare now for the dry season. Flour and corn are skyrocketing. Learn to make bread. Stash some non perishables. Heed my warning. You will be better off for it.

#34 You statement that any republican is competitive anywhere is staggering is very asute. But then take a walk through any Wally’s World. Check out your local Ross. Go to the Goodwill. We have turned a corner in this country that provides a direct link to “god will provide”. And the republicans have beat the drum that they are the moral saviors.

The intellegensia are clueless. We are overrun with stupidity and ecclesiastical dominionists and they are winning. If they weren’t you wouldn’t see this bailout of Bear Stearns. No one questions them anymore.

Be wise. Pantry and hunker down.

Short of revolution the worst is yet to come.

There are many good reasons, of course, to act to avert a Bear Stearns bankruptcy when one considers the ultimate impact on millions of Americans and around the world of a Wall Street collapse.

This has to be challenged. Why are Progressives repeating this nonsense? If Bear Stearns were allowed to collapse another firm would undoubtedly move in and fill the vacuum. It might not happen immediately. There might be pain in the interim. But there’s going to be plenty of pain anyway.

If the Bear Stearns employees who particpated in the sub-prime crime were investigated, prosecuted and imprisoned you can bet the other investment banks would get the message.

As it is we’re bailing out the criminals who perpetrated the crime. You can guarantee that these criminals will be back in another few years to steal billions more. It’s in their DNA.

The government and fed should be finding a way to help the two million victims of this crime, those about to lose their house. Helping the victims is the surest way to minimize the impact to the economy. Ensuring that two million homes don’t end up on the market, thereby bringing down the value of all real estate is so much more critical than keeping Bear Stearns afloat.

Republicans believe in top down, Democrats/Progressives believe in bottom up. It’s sad to see a Progressive commentator subscribing to far-right ideology.

Helping PEOPLE will always produce better, faster and surer results than helping corporations.
