Sounds to me like you are pro bailout. Do other conservatives share your enthusiasm for the bailouts?

Do you guys ever stop to realize how often you contradict yourselves?

Or you simply don't care?

Depends. Peg it to Obama and it's bad. Next day we should "thank" W for how clever it all was.

Well wait a minute. Aren't you the folks who say GW was on the side of the banks? Looks like he did OK for the working man! You can just say thanks and move along.

No, we're the folks you are telling you that you'll twist yourself into a pretzel contradicting yourselves. Be careful before you throw your back out.

So Sid, please tell us the theme of the book you are currently reading. We are all very proud of your ablility to copy Dr. Seuss.


Perhaps you can later share with us an orginal thought of your impression of GWB's bailout and it's ultimate success?

Or you could be a grateful little boy, thank GW and move along......
