C'mon. Some Perspective Please.

James Pinkerton has to be writing satire here because he can't believe that the GOP is the party of Main St.  Sure, they blew up the latest attempt to hand over a trillion dollars to Hank Paulson's buddies with only the tiniest of fig leaves attached by the (insert your own adjective here) Dems but what did they suggest to replace it?   Some screwball insurance scheme that is sure to make everything in the world worse and, of course, because they've signed the Pledge over at Drown the Government in the Bathtub HQ, frackin' tax cuts.  This is not the party of Main St any more than the guy who wrestles the machine gun away from the shooter in oder to kill more people faster has saved the day. 

The truth is that neither the Dems nor the GOP want to help the American taxpayer.  We exist to create wealth.  Their funders exist to loot it.  It's that simple!  There are more of us than them but we are too busy or frightened or something to take peaceful action against them.  Make a sign.  Stand outside your Congressional district offices.  Call the press.  Post video on YouTube.  This stuff works if enough of us do it and you'd be surprised how low a number is "enough."  You get ten people standing out there every day with a reporter writing about it and that's a major headache for the Honorable Gentleman/lady from the Pocket of Wall St.

Did you get past the first graf? Cause it gets more nutsier the deeper you go. Pinkerton offers a new explanation I haven't heard for the mortgage crisis: it's the Democrats' fault for helping the poor! Wait. Let the man-mite tell it himself.

Democrats have some sordid secrets to protect -- and Paulson & Co. are helping them keep hidden. Much of the overall financial crisis can be traced back to bad mortgages made to unqualified buyers at the behest of Democratic poverty advocates; it was a neat arrangement, poor Democrats got houses, as rich Democrats got richer by manipulating the financial paper.

Isn't that just precious? Who is this Bush-like moron?

Yeah, that's one of the lines out of the GOP shop. I don't think Pinkerton had it first. They're all crazy. It's impossible to follow for too long without getting a headache trying to separate the sensible from the inane.
