I’m not sure how you can say that voting out the incumbants is a vote for Republicans. I’ve personally vowed, as a conservative, to vote against any incumbant REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION. If my local representative is a Republican and voted for the bailout, I’m voting against them.

The fact that YOUR party (which is obviously Democrat) voted in higher numbers for the bailout than the Republicans is YOUR problem, not mine. It doesn’t sound like they have YOUR best interests in mind. I applaud the Republicans that rose up against Bush and this ill conceived bailout and tried to defeat it…twice. Unfortunately, some were weak and capitulated once the Democrats put some pork in the bill that appealed to them. The $700 billion bailout was closer to a trillion once you add up all the pork.

And, you’re goddamn right this is a single issue election. These people are criminally negligent for a) allowing this crash to happen due to lack of oversight and b) rewarding the architects of the crash with a cash bailout. In the old days, we’d storm the capital with pitch forks, torches and rope. Now we have just our vote.

[quote=justme]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.

You’re living in lala land. For a start, perhaps you need to familiarize yourself with Fannie and Freddie and how Democrats fought AGAINST regulation and oversight.

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…

I’m not a professional economist or a teck wiz just so you know, but I am mad enough about this to do something. Perhaps I could edit articles.
