re: ["you apparently were in hibernation during the bailout faxathon."] WRONG! The "faxathon" worked. It worked in spades. A lot of politicians who "rolled over and showed their belly" got sent home last November by the "faxathoners." The bill was defeated, and only by Hank Paulson literally straddling the fence of treason (why do you think he demanded immunity?) and calling a near unprecedented closed door, secret meeting of Congress, and then threatening them with "Martial Law" was it passed. My friend, we may have lost a battle, but the War is far from being over. They spent a lot of political ammo in that battle, and took a lot of causalities. This country wasn't built by those who quit after the first fight. And it won't be saved by those who roll over and surrender after the first battle either. I can't believe you guys have this attitude. And I can't believe you drag it's flacid corpse here to present it. SOTB
