It is interesting that Republican leaders are pontificating about the harm that bailouts are causing while their voters (other than the ideological social conservatives) keep wishing for more Krugman-esque government support to prop up their value of their houses.[/quote]

I think the reverse is true…there are many Republican leaders that went along with the bailouts than when virtually their entire constituency was against them.

Every conservative that I know thought that the bank bailouts, the aig bailout and the auto company bailouts were ALL misguided, destructive in the long and short term and opposed them.
