Could you guys imagine the uproar from faux conservatives if Obama had nationalized the banks instead of Bush? When Bush nationalizes the entire banking system to the tune of $11 trillion, you hear nary a peep from faux conservatives. When Obama makes some throwaway statement about “spreading the wealth around”, faux conservatives start calling Obama the second coming of Karl Marx. By the reaction from faux conservatives, you would have thought Obama had proposed reducing by a few percent the cost of school lunches for children of the destitute.

Exactly.
We already have welfare for the super-rich. And they and their cronies are doing whatever they can to protect it.

The GOP has become a laughable lampoon, and has abandoned it’s compass, both fiscal and moral.
However, and this is where I part company with you: The Democrats don’t offer a better solution. Obama does not have the record to support his claim of offering post-partisan politics, and both Dems and Repubs are turning this campaign into a veritable circus.
What’s that old expression? “In war, the first casualty is the truth”. We have sacrificed fair play, meaningful dialogue and the truth, all in the name of partisan politics. The Democrats can scarcely contain their glee at the plight of the Republicans, but are not offering much in the way of a true solution. Both parties are falling all over themselves to “save” the economy and no one wants to reveal the truth to the American people: That both parties are equally culpable in the collapse of the American middle class, our educational system and the ability of this nation to compete on an equal footing with the rest of the world.
Instead, we have gulled the rest of the world into believing that our ability to push worthless paper and “create” new ways to “make” money is somehow able to sustain this massive mountain of debt, both governmental and commercial.
George W. Bush was simply the last logical step in an impending collapse. We got exactly what we, the collective “we”, voted for and deserved.
