I had a HUGE problem with TARP. Many republicans did. You don't remember legislators getting calls 10-1 against TARP?

Sanford's not running for re-elction (its his second term) so its going to be interesting to see what happens. I'm from SC, and I'm glad the guys standing up against it.

I mean it is weird, Republicans dont even make any bones about it, they absolutley hate the poor and the working class, if you are not a corporate criminal or born into wealth they think you are UnAmerican and should die
