The core values have to incorporate the $18B in bonuses handed out by a faltering Wall St last year. What a colossal scam and has been that way for DECADES. Guess why Wall Street has always fought Washington and the SEC to remain "self-regulating"! hahahaha It's called "We get ours no matter what the customer's investment results are!"

CLEAN THE SUCKER OUT! Wall St is corrupt to the CORE!

You do realize that the bail out bill was written by Pelosi, Reid and Frank? If they are representing Republican Core Values these days then truly the GOP is in deeper trouble then previously thought

Show a little sophistication please. That bill will be reworked 9 ways from Sunday by the Senate, where the grown-ups play. When the House sees it again, you might not recognize it.

Interesting, I didn't know there was something inherently wrong with people that do drugs?

Well, if you were talking about the bailout bill that has been passed and those monies are gone. If you are talking about Obamas new plan, that is different. Since you were using past tense as in "The core values have to incorporate the $18B in bonuses handed out by a faltering Wall St last year." Silly me, I thought you meant last year. I can see how unsophisticated folk like me could get confused.

At anyrate, what did the bill having to go to the Senate have to do with anything? Isn't the Senate also democrat heavy? Or does just being near a republican corrupt an innocent lad like Senator Harry Reid?

Legal immigrants work and pay the same taxes as everybody else and, as such, should be entitled to the same programs as everybody else. My nephew was told he cannot play soccer in high school because he has not been here for 5 years. It is absurd! You can bet that when he becomes a USA citizen in 4 years, he will not be voting Republican!

Let's not let them be forgotten.
Good post. The values have been buried. Talk radio wants to assume it speaks Republican values, and this is how the nation perceives those values.

Talk radio Repubs are water-carriers for fat cats. But of course they talk about "freedom." Gimme a break!

Let's get real, people! What the bloviators talk is actually veiled racism and sexism that serves the purposes of the rich. You vote Repub, they get their TAX BREAKS and SWEETHEART DEPT of DEFENSE DEALS! Let's get real!

What a scam they have been laying on the nation since Reagan.
