When you spoke in general terms of opposing those who created the bailout of the banks, it wasn't clear to me that you meant members of both parties. Yes, some Democrats have responsibility for TARP. But I happen to not think that the TARP plan was a bad idea. I think it was necessary. And as for our current economic woes in general, there is plenty of blame on both sides, although singling out Barney Frank as a major culprit is just wrong. No, the ranking minority member of the Banking Committee did not single-handedly stop Republicans from regulating the banking and mortgage industries. Just didn't happen. So your solution to the mess we're in is to elect people like Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell? I don't think so.
