made you do it.
I'm so sorry I don't have the intellectual capacity to understand your

I have my doubts about McCain at this point, since he's running around
the country promising more of Bush's failed policies. In the famous
words of Pres Reagan: "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?".

So you think someone backed by MoveOn.org would be an improvement?
And BTW, the folks caught in the housing "crisis" did it to
themselves. Second jobs or foreclosuere. The American Taxpayer is
not the final insurer against stupidity.

I don't disagree with you. But we also shouldn't be bailing out Wall
Street or giving the friggin' oil companies tax incentives.

Absolutely, after 8 long years of the Bushies, I think someone from
Criminals R Us would be an improvement.

Of course, billions should be given to JPMorgan Chase to "bail out" Bear
Stearns. I'm all for people being responsible for their actions; but
this was a gigantic ripoff of the public as well as the financial

this time.
