So, if a republican does something wrong, they should be thrown out. But if a democrat does something wrong, we should ignore it? I thought the point of voting out the incumbents that voted for the bill was to toss out the cancer, irrespective of party affiliation.

I never said that, you are putting words in my mouth.
You may think that “voting out the incumbents who voted for the (bailout) bill” is the point. But then your are turning this into a single-issue election called the “bailout bill”, and the Republicans are USING you to their advantage.
Those who want people to vote Republican should just come out and say it. They should stop wrapping themselves in some single-issue flag which effectively means “you must vote republican because more democrats than republicans voted for the bailout bill”.
Such people are trying to confuse the issue. The truth is that if it was not for the republican deregulation push of the last 28 years, no bailout would be needed in the first place.
The correct principle is that people should vote for who they believe stands for the best principles of government, and should NOT vote based on some trumped-up single-issue litmus test concocted by an opportunist political strategist.
And by the way, the republicans have done plenty of wrong, and on a much grander scale than any democrat of the last 28 years.
Don’t cast your vote based on an impulsive desire to punish someone for voting for something that you despise. I am also against the bailout bill, but no way will that make me vote against a democrat.

dude, you’re really getting worked up about this, it’s getting pretty entertaining.
I feel honored you think a few geeks who *might* slap a website together within weeks of the general election are gonna make an iota of difference in swaying people to really effectively vote people out.
Breath in, breath out… Breath in, breath out…Deep breaths, and repeat after me…. I’m smart, I’m attractive, and dog-gonna people like me…
