Participant[quote=ocrenter]just like alcoholics who need to really sink to rock bottom before they realize the need to change their lives around and stay sober, maybe the Republicans need to taste the true political bottom with Palin in 2012.[/quote]
Pawlenty is a pretty sharp guy. I wish Palin had been just a keynote speaker, and Pawlenty had been the veep choice. Ah well, mavericks, whaddya do?

ParticipantFor the Republicans reading who are desperately trying to find new memes after having banished all the thinkers from your party to the hinterlands well north of Alaska, let me give you a little help.
The question I hear from the “conservative” hoi polloi is “Who will they bailout nexxxxxt?” That’s the wrong question. The right question is “Who won’t they bailout next?” The answer is, they won’t bailout the overwhelming majority of Americans threatened with job loss, they will only provide some unemployment assistance and tax relief for retraining/education costs. Why are 250K autoworkers so important even though the majority of them, if not the great majority, would remain employed during a BK workout? Because they publicly gave so much money and support to the Dems. That’s the danger of this sort of socialism, that unsustainable businesses are maintained with taxpayer funds purely for political purposes (ethanol also comes to mind.)

Participant[quote=afx114]So if McCain would have won, none of this would be happening, right? Riiiiggght…[/quote]
Maybe, maybe not. The fact that Obama’s plan is screwy doesn’t mean that McCain’s plan was wise, although the promised corporate tax cut might have had a positive effect on companies considering RIFs and slashing capex.
That’s irrelevent, though. Perhaps the judgement is fully rendered at this point, but the market has judged Obamanomics harshly, as well it should. Bailing out the UAW, hiking effective corporate tax rates, and building more Big Digs and bridges to nowhere? Please.
