AngryRenter.com is a project of FreedomWorks Ok so what? I wouldn’t care if Angelo Mozilo was sponsor as long as I agreed with the point of view.
I believe your post is oriented towards trying to dissuade people from signing the petition. Jason are you saying that in this instance you are actually for any of the proposals being floated? If so you are probably posting on the wrong site, unless you have facts to back up why.
Being against bailouts is neither right nor left wing. Attempting to use partisan sounding rhetoric won’t change that.

I’m only pointing out to people who are not of the economic libertarian persuasion to base their decisions on the issues and not take an agenda-based site for face value.
But you are correct! Being against bailouts is simply that! You have chosen your position on that particular issue! For that, I support you. I am neither in favor of or against any particular bailout without taking the time and effort to review the consequences of any given proposal.
In this case, I believe a lot of the previous market regulation needs to be reinstated to bring stability back to the financial system. I admit, I’m not a guy who believes a free market is good for everything and anything.
So again, I’m only warning people that many of these individual issue web sites have very organized and heavily politically biased agendas behind them. If someone wasn’t sure WHO angryrenter.com was about and not just WHAT, that might be helpful.
I for one cannot change someone’s mind if he/she doesn’t want to entertain an alternate point of view. At the same time we need to continue to analyze information as objectively and critically as we can.

April 12, 2008 at 3:26 PM #185638nostradamusParticipantIn conclusion, be sure to focus on the issues that are important to you. Don't blindly follow a perspective that may be biased.
Thanks Jason, I agree and I have focused on the issue: The issue is the bailout. I am against the bailout. And I don't blindly follow a perspective: like, for example, if someone who is also against the bailout but they are right-wing, I don't try to diminish the validity of their petition just because they are right-wing. This is blind generalization.
I strongly encourage others to focus on the issue: sign the petition and stop the bailout. Don't care too much about who is backing a particular petition, if it comes from enough angles it may just make a difference and the least it can do is send a strong message.
Leave your bipartisanship at home, this issue is greater than that. Personally I'm on the fence as far as party goes, but if possible please point me to the left-wing anti-bailout petition and I will sign that as well. Point me to all the anti-bailout petitions, I am focused and will sign them all.
