ParticipantYep or at the very least, criminal and civil charges for the executives that run these companies into the ground, cause the economy to crumble and then walk away…..

Participant[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.

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”.[/quote]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.

ParticipantI’m thinking of calling Citi Mortgage and telling them that I don’t want to pay my mortgage anymore if they don’t write down my principle at least a hundred grand. Otherwise I’ll just hand them the keys. Think it will work?
