1. I'm guessing he'd rather have us doing that than have us
ripping the banks apart or looking too closely at the bailouts...

5. You're thinking assbackwards.
And that's EXACTLY why BushCo poisoned the economic well on their way out the door. They know human nature and most people are money grubbing pigs that don't worry about their civil rights, torture, or corruption in Government as long as it doesn't fuck with their pocketbook. And you're falling for it, lock, stock and barrel. If you'd realize that if we can pin War Crimes on these criminals (Bush, Cheney (et alia) and soon to be Obama if he continues down this foolish road of ignoring the rule of law) that the remaining house of cards of corruption will crumble. But you are too obsessed with money to realize that. The bankers, hedge funder managers, corrupt rethug, whorelike corporate media and whoever else is acting all brave because Bush Crime Inc. got away with murder will have a ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT if their "fearless leaders" are in a dock facing a death penalty or life in a federal prison for War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity (not to mention the plethora of domestic, local and federal crimes they're guilty of).
Quit thinking with your pocket book and start thinking with your patriot cap on and we can kill many birds with one stone.
Continue to whine and flop on the floor over the cash and you're going to get punked BIG TIME. The choice is yours. And they're banking on how you're thinking now.
What? You wanna prove em right?

2. Everyone is passing the buck...
I see a trend.

I'm afraid no one will be held accountable.

I'm so disappointed.

4. This is why we need 100 Senators. There's always one honest person in a crowd.
Someone has to stand up and say nations and leaders must be held to the same or higher standards than everyone else.

6. I've heard an even BETTER suggestion
and that's NO Senators. Just the House of Representatives to stand as the legislative branch. Senators are smug, egotistical bastards/bitches that don't
listen to their constituency anyway. Can their asses. Abolish their cushy do nothing jobs. They answer to no one but corporations as it is. Fuck em.
