ummm meanbastard... were you asleep at the wheel..or is the news just over your head? the on going nationalization of the entire economy is a republican lead initiative... bush is a republican and hank is his treasury guy... or maybe your just too stupid to understand that... there is absolutely ZERO evidence of fiscal conservativism in the last 20 of 26 years the repugs have had the majority of government control. zero. not that the dems are any better, but you typify the average fool that listens to Limbaugh...buy the rhetoric and over look reality. the people you empowered were just as socialist/fascist as any outright fascist/socialist, they just say what you want to hear, but vote as they are told. once again, fool.. reason IS greater than politics. you throw the labels around like they actually mean anything. meanwhile your "conservative" people have been RADICAL in transforming this country into a fascist state. ( you know.. Fascist as in National Socialist - take the money from the poor and working class, give to the elite, enslave all but the elite ( you know.. the redistribution thing you knuckleheads get so freaked out about, even though your "conservatives" do it MORE severely than the dems ever did ) all the while ending Constitutional Government and creating a Dictator out of the executive branch with ZERO accountability
