Let the smart guys make money and let the dumb lose their shirts.

God, I hate you fake conservatives. Let's go to war! Let's torture! Let's increase the debt! Let's bailout wall street! Let's abandon civil liberties! Let's ban burning the flag! Let's make flag lapel pins mandatory by law!

I hate you for your ruining the GOP.

Bob Barr 2008. Yeah, I know, he won't win. But at least he calls it the bailout from hell. And he likes gun rights. And your rant in this thread about what has happened to the GOP sounds just like him.

Again, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing ... just curious how far you're willing to go with it.

I'd imagine that there are some smaller banks who will lend them the money needed. This bailout is for the big boys with inept executives.

The beauty of capitalism is that there is always someone ready to step in when another balks.

Not all fastballs are created equal. You should know that.

Sometimes, a chucker has to rely on junk. True.
