This Bailout Scheme is Designed to Get McCain to Break from Bush
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 09:02 PM by redstate_democrat
I said it last month. McCain will publicly disown Bush in a dramatic fashion. This is the October surprise. This whole bailout is designed to allow McCain to throw Bush under the bus and come out looking like a "true conservative". This is a fucking GAME and if the Democrats don't understand this, I don't know what the hell to say. You have TWO BUSH appointees telling people the sky is falling. Does anyone remember how many lies, coverups, outings have been made and laws broken? Anyone remember the lie about yellowcake. These bastards sent COLIN FUCKING POWELL to the U FUCKING N before world leaders and sold them a fucking bill of goods which caused us to go into a war based on LIES. If they can send COLIN POWELL out to LIE, what makes you think they won't send HANK PAULSON, former CEO of GOLDMAN SACS out to lie through his teeth. They even gave people a hint in the way they did it. They gave Congress until FRIDAY. They sent a 3 page batshit crazy ransom letter to Congress and called it a bill to save the economy.

First of all, let's look at the underlying facts of the fucking situation. You have Wall Street asking the government for 700 BILLION DOLLARS. They might have well have just asked for 100 BAZILLION. Then they say they don't want any oversight AND they want it unreviewable by a court of law. WTF? You're asking Congress to basically dishonor the Constitution and abrogate its own Constitutional powers- spending? Then they TELL YOU they don't know what the assets in the securities are worth and will be playing it by ear, using their discretion on how to spend 700 BILLION dollars. WTF? Then they TELL YOU that, oh yeah, we may also add on car loans, credit cards, student loans, some Miami strippers, some coke, a bag of weed, maybe a nuke or two for covert ops in the future, a baby whale, a island in the South Pacific, and a pipeline which we will run down the crack of Barney Frank's ass. WTF? Then they TELL YOU that they will also give U.S. taxpayers hard earned fucking money to China and any other foreign country they fucking feel like. WTF? Then they TELL YOU that in addition to all that, don't even think about telling Wall Street CEOs they can't keep their million dollar salaries. WTF? Then they TELL YOU, and gets pissy about it, that they don't have all the details, but that the sky is gonna crack open anyway and fire and brimstone will rain down on all us. WTF? Then they TELL YOU, Congress, that they want it "clean", without any of that extra shit like oversight, regulation, conditions, warrants, you know, like sane shit. WTF?

And after they have made it blatantly obvious to you that they are fucking insane and are betting on the fact that you are stupid, we're still debating on whether or not we should do this. This was designed to be so fucking crazy, that it might just actually fly in D.C. This is a ploy to rally the base, return to "conservatism", and save the GOP brand before election day. It is designed to make Democrats look like idiots, big spenders, and low on the judgment index.

This is a big fat ass trap. Don't Do It. The markets are being manipulated by the same fuckers demanding money. They control the shit! They are pulling your fucking card in broad daylight!

2. And they're sending the SAME PEOPLE out to sell this bill of goods.
The same media faces are on TV blabbing on and on about how this MUST happen and they are so pissed but it MUST happen. They have the SAME people out there selling this HARD, saying if it doesn't happen, then the sky will fall. They are beating the drums LOUD. And I must say, it is working like a charm, like 9/11, Patriot Act, Yellowcake, Plamegate, Torturegate, bin Laden tapes, etc didn't happen.

Democrats are so quick to TRUST republicans and act bipartisan. They don't STEP BACK and look at it through the lens of common sense. At the very LEAST, you ask for DETAILS and PROOF that the economy will explode if we don't pay Wall Street. And even then, they are saying it might not work. This is a test in judgment.

4. You are more than likely correct
and therefore NO DEAL without McCain's support AND adherence to Obama's guidelines, that or the Republicans flush him, no surrogates, no RNC $$$, and a unified call out backed by public endorsements of Obama AND adherence to Obama's guidelines.

5. ??? "Hand over the money or the n****er gets it ? " ???
Now that's a theme..... An old movie as a matter of fact... Hadn't thought of this angle but I would not put it past them. After all they sent Dick Cheney the big "FU" to deliver the message.... sweet....
